The Anatomy And Histology Of The Human Eye Classic Reprint

Excerpt from The Anatomy and Histology of the Human Eye When, a few years ago, I commenced teaching ophthalmology, I seriously felt the want of a textbook on the Anatomy and Histology of the Human Eye. There does not exist, to my knowledge, a treatise on this subject that includes the results of the labors of the more recent histologists to be found in ophthalmological journals and in memoirs on special subjects. It has been my aim to collect this material into a connected form, and in such a manner as to adapt it alike to the requirements of the medical student and of the practising physician. It affords me pleasure to record my grateful obligations to Dr.S. W.Butler for reading the proofs and overseeing the publication of the work, and for the beautiful style in which it is issued, as well as for the obliging disposition he has always manifested. I am also under many grateful obligations to Mr. Hugo Sebald, engraver. No.23 South Third Street, Philadelphia, for his skill and accuracy in executing the engravings.

Excerpt from The Anatomy and Histology of the Human Eyeball in the Normal State: Its Development and Senescence As in the case with so many other books, this one has developed from the lectures which I have regularly given for years, and I only comply with an oft-expressed wish of my auditors when I put the substance of these lectures into print from the same point of view as the one by which I have allowed myself to be guided in the lectures. This point of View is that a thorough knowledge of the normal anatomy and histology gives the most certain. Basis for the understanding of methods 'of clinical investigation and for judging pathologic changes hence the reference to ophthalmoscopy, to the physiology of accommoda tion, and to pathologic processes here and there. I should like to have the book considered from the point of view that it is the eye specialist and not the specialist in anatomy who writes it. For example, I have not gone into comparative anatomy in a detailed way. Important as this is for the determination of morpholo'gic ques tions and much as I am personally interested in it, I hold it to be superfluous for the purpose at hand to enter into this branch of learning. Naturally, therefore, some details of cell-structure, nerve-endings, and the like, which for technical reasons one can study only on animals, are treated only briefly.
