PRINCIPLES AND PRACTICE OF OPHTHALMIC MEDICINE AND SURGERY. BY T. WHARTON JONES, F. R.S., PROFESSOR OF OPHTHALMIC MEDICINE AND SURGERY IN UNIVERSITY COLLEGE, LONDON; Entered according to Act of Congress, in the year 1863, by BLANCHARD AND LEA, in the Office of the Clerk of the District Court of the United States in and for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania. PHILADELPHIA: COLLINS, PRINTER, 705 JAYNE STREET. 46 576 1863 ADVERTISEMENT TO THE THIRD AMERICAN EDITION. We have endeavored, in preparing for the press this Third Edition of the excellent Manual of Mr. Jones, to bring the work up to the present state of knowledge in the important department of Medicine and Surgery of which it treats. In the seven years that have elapsed since the publication of the preceding edition, very considerable advance has been made. in our knowledge of the pathology of diseases of the eye, particularly of its more deeply seated tissues, and also in the medical treatment and operative procedures by which ophthalmic affections can be relieved. In making all additions we have carefully borne in mind the great aim of the Author in composing this Manual, and have striven to make them such as must render it still more available at the bedside of the patient, and in the operating room. They will be found distinguished from the text by inclosure in brackets. We take great pleasure, as evidence of the extraordinary merits of the Work, in referring to the fact of the recent appearance of a French edition, from a translation made by M. Foucher, Professeur agrégé of the Medical Faculty of Paris. PHILADELPHIA, 210 South Thirteenth Street. September, 1863. WALTER FRANKLIN ATLEE. |
