    PREFACE. THE eye affords a wide and interesting field for observation. The ingenuity of the contri- vance, and the adaptation of the means to the end that is to be accomplished, are exhibited in its structure, which is always varied to suit the wants of the possessor. It has been almost always brought forward by writers on Natural Theology, as a convincing proof that such an instrument could only be formed by a wise Contriver. | Owing to the difficulty of examining such a delicate structure, the nature and use of some of its parts are disputed. Independently of these, the evidences on which all are agreed are quite sufficient for the argument. It is probable that the present attempt will be followed’ by a similar view of the other organs of sense as soon as opportunity will allow. 1*
