    volume of Mr. Bell's lyftem: yet neither of thefe, any more than the late Baron's pradlice, are fo much as noticed in that publication. How it came to pafs, that omiffions of this chara£ler fhould occur in the compilation of a fyftem, fhould be accounted for by its author. One thing, however, may without hefitation be affirmed, that there is no profeffional man well acquainted v^^ith^ the late Baron de Wenfel's mode and fuccefs in operating for the catarad, who will not give it a decided preference to that of Mr. Pellier's, as defcribed by Mr. Bell. As the Infertion of a tube in the na- tural du£l, is equally the foundation of this and my former publication, I have many years ago, conftrufted by the direftlons of Mr. Wathen ; not from any preceding model, but from an exaft meafurement of the cornea, on which it was defigned to operate. thought
