Excerpt from The Pathology of the Eye, Vol. 1: Histology; Part I

His volume includes the Pathological Histology of the Lids, Conjunctiva, Cornea, Sclerotic, Iris and Anterior Chamber, and Ciliary Body, together with the Bacteriology of the Conjunctiva. The Normal Histology of the parts is briefly related, no attempt being made to give an exhaustive description. Only those features which have a special bearing upon pathology are more fully dealt with; these are often inadequately discussed in the ordinary text books of normal histology.

All the new illustrations are from photographs, which have not been touched up in any way. I am of the opinion that for elementary teaching good drawings are superior to photographic reproductions, much detail being obscured in reproduction by half-tone blocks. In an advanced work Of this kind, however, a good knowledge of normal and general pathological histology is taken for granted, and absolute fidelity is of prime importance. It is above all things essential that the text-book shall subserve, and not replace, work in the laboratory.

I am greatly indebted to the recent books of Greeff and Ginsberg in preparing this volume. I have made a point, however, of going to original sources for information; but the arduous task of dis covering references has been much facilitated by these works.
