![AN ESSAY 11/ PHYSIOLOGY OF THE EYE. SALOM HENRY SALOM. It is surely as little possible for us, when we open our eyes on some wide and magnificent landscape, to separate the colour, as a mere visual sensation, from the field, the mountain, the forest, the stream, the sky, as to separate it from the half- inch or inch of our retina, of the perception of which we have no consciousness in any case ; and it is too much for those, who deny the immediate perception of those greater magnitudes, to urge, in proof of the necessary original perception of this inch or half-inch what, if valid in any respect, must establish no less the proposi- tion which they deny than the proposition which they affirm.—Dr. Thomas Brown.
