Excerpt from Glaucoma: A Handbook for the General Practitioner During the last ten years a very extraordinary amount of interest has been taken in the subject of glaucoma. At no time in the history of ophthalmology has this been equalled, save possibly in the ten years which followed the declaration of von Graefe's great discovery. Between these two periods of interest in glaucoma, dating from the start of each, nearly half a century elapsed. Though this period was marked by no spectacular event in connection with this particular subject, it was none the less a time of steady progress and of fruitful speculation. Some of the questions which puzzled von Graefe can be answered by a student to-day, and yet we are far from having attained finality. There are still many matters on which authorities are at variance. There are, fortunately, many more on which they are in agreement. It is not the purpose of such a work as this to discuss the former. Space and common sense alike forbid such a course. The aim which I have kept before me has been to be of service to the busy medical practitioner. The importance of the subject appears to me to demand the publication of a monograph. My object has been to write the book simply and concisely, so that all may understand it, shortly, so that all may have time to read it, and without bias, so that all may feel its appeal. Discussions of disputed joints have been avoided; the views expressed are those which are current amongst the great majority of ophthalmologists.

Excerpt from A Treatise on Glaucoma I must commence with an apology for the long delay in bringing out a second edition. It has been due to the fact that I am obliged to do my literary work in my spare time, and that the amount of labour involved in following up the many additions to the literature of Glaucoma during the past four years has been very great. I have altered the title, for I have given my book a more ambitious scope than before. I have felt it was more than a textbook that was wanted. There are so many questions in connection with glaucoma which are still unanswered, and there is still so very much work to be done, that I have felt that the aim to be kept before me was the writing of a book which would enable a reader to recognise the stage to which any part of the subject has been brought by the work of those who have preceded him. It is my hope that, in this way, I shall be able to be of assistance to those who desire to advance our knowledge by a further study of the many problems still awaiting solution, and thus shall, even in some small measure, succeed in stimulating research. I am convinced that the man or the profession, that rests content with the knowledge bequeathed by the past, is bound to move backwards instead of forwards. The opportunities for research in connection with glaucoma arc immense, and I would commend this subject to all who have the privilege to be teachers in medical schools. It is for them to inspire their students and to direct their energies along such lines. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
