Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Manual of Diseases of the Human Eye, Vol. 1 of 2: Intended for Surgeons Commencing Practice, From the Best National and Foreign Works, And, in Particular, Those of Professor Beer, With the Observations of the Editor, Dr. Charles H. Weller, Berlin, 1819
During a course of seven years' practice in a city whose ascertained population is up wards Of and among numerous cases from the large towns and villages connected with this commercial metropolis of North Britain, he has had a very extensive field of observation In treating the diseases of the eye; a branch Of medical science to which his at tention was turned very early in life, and which he has cultivated with all possible assi duity. Among the very great number of applicants af?icted with eye complaints dur ing that period, amounting in a single year (1820) to 1288, it may be presumed that a variety of cases occurred from time to time, which, with their treatment, might be sub mitted to the students of a science which can be improved only by patient induction and analysis.
