    AlTTHOR'S PREFACE. ]'\ Those who are familiar with the literature of ophthalmology, will find many deviations when the citations of this work are compared with those of some other modern writings. The reason of this is, that I have kept myself strictly within the bounds of historical truth, and that I have disdained to injure or advance the interests of any persons or schools, by any misplacement of authorities. When not otherwise indicated, the anatomical preparations from which the wood-engravings are made, were all taken from my collection. The chromo-lithographic plates were made from originals and painted entirely from life, and the appearauces of one eye were combined with those of another to a very small extent only, on account of want of room. In the authorities, I have not given the titles of works in full, but this omission scarcely requires explanation. Stellwag. Vienna, September, 1867.
