Excerpt from The Anatomy, Physiology and Pathology of the Eye The organization of the Eye, and its beautiful adaptation to the wants and necessities "of every living thing," has always been a subject sufficiently attractive to secure attention and respect from the most thoughtless and indifferent; from those even, who in other respects, are disposed to forget the wonderful nature of their creation, the fearful construction of every organ and sense with which they are endowed. On an inquiry which possesses so many attractions to the general Student, some feelings of diffidence might be fairly expressed by a writer, when committing his thoughts to the criticism of the public; but the fears of the author rise into anxiety, when he invites the attention of the Faculty to a work, which not only treats generally, of the Organ of Vision, but professes to inquire critically, into its Anatomy, Physiology, and Pathology.
