I Having been prevented by a press of other matter from giving such an account of I these Lectures as their merits call for, we must postpone to a future occasion our notice of i some of the most interesting points of which they treat, and must content ourselves with recommending them to our readers as a most valuable contribution to ophthalmological : science. Medico-Chirurgical Review. We seldom meet with so much matter in so small a compass and so unpretending a form We cannot conclude this notice without again expres.sing our high opinion of the author. He appears to be accomplished alike as an anatomist and microscopical observer. I As a writer, he is plain, concise, and unassuming. He appears to possess the rare faculty of describing things as they exist, without being biassed by preconception, or by the theories of others ; and we are therefore nccustonicd to hold his opinions in respect, and to receive his observations as trustworthy and accurate.
