![alludes to the worth and undeserved obscurity of Bailey’s work. The whole book, with the possible exception of the title page, was printed in London, the woodcuts being quite unknown at Oxford. Even the arms of the University on the title page are recut on wood.” The preface to the reader says : “ It is not unknown to the world with what general applause a certain treatise con- cerning the preservation of the Eyesight written by Doctor Baylie, sometimes of Oxford bach (sic) beene accepted, which by the happy experience of many in the doubtfull cures of that kind stands thoroughly confirmed. Being, therefore, unwilling that a gemme of such worth should lie any longer hidden under the soilc of oblivion and withall desirous to give more lustre unto it as well for the ornament of itselfe as for the good of the merchant: 1 have now at length resolved to set it forth in the world to the publique view and censure of the time, newly and artificially polished with most notable collections out of those very renowned doctors Fernelius and Riolanus written on the same subject. Peruse the book and make use of it. If thou findest benefit by it, thanke God first that hath made his goodness manifest to the world by his singular gifts bestowed on those most excellent men : next to the Authors themselves for theire great paines and studie taken for thy- profit: and lastly to mee, for my good will and costes in the publish- ing of it. Farewell.—I.
