Excerpt from Fractures of the Orbit and Injuries to the Eye in War

This little book is a record of actual experience. It has been written, not in a library, but in a hospital. Devoted helpers have watched the cases with us, made the daily records, treated the patients for long periods, and followed their progress still longer.

The reader must not expect to find profuse biblio graphical notes here. Moreover, at the outset, we beg to be excused for not having more largely drawn upon all that has been written in France and abroad by army surgeons on Fractures of the Orbit. It seemed to us that the experience of those whose attention has been especially directed to this variety of traumatism rested on an almost negligible number of cases com pared with the extreme abundance Of the material at hand to-day, and we decided, whilst always regarding authority with the deference compatible with free exercise of judgment, to concern ourselves almost exclusively with what we have seen and done ourselves.

The study of our very numerous cases has further more often carried us far beyond classic ideas, and, in consequence, we have learned much. That is our immediate recompense; to it will be added a still more precious reward, if this work, by reason Of the descriptions and the clinical deductions which it contains, should come to be considered not altogether unworthy of French Ophthalmology.
