Abstract
THIS is the first volume of an “International System of Ophthalmic Practice,” edited by Dr. Walter L. Pyle, of Philadelphia. Other volumes announced are on “Medical Ophthalmology,” by Dr. Arnold Knapp, of New York; “Ophthalmic Diagnosis,” by. Dr. Charles H. Beard, of Chicago; “Pathology and Bacteriology of the Eye,” by Messrs. Treacher Collins and M. S. Mayou, of London; “Affections of the Orbit and Accessory Cavities,” by Dr. Christian R. Holmes, of Cincinnati; “Examination and Refraction of the Eye and Eye-strain,” by the editor; and “Ophthalmic Surgery,” the authorship of which is not stated. It will be seen that the scheme is comprehensive, and that the aim is essentially practical. The authors are men of established reputation, and may be relied upon to carry out their work ably, so that the system will form a valuable, if not indispensable, addition to the ophthalmologist's library. If the volumes reach the standard of the sample which we have before us we may confidently prophesy the financial success of the series.
