    I may as well mention that I have also published a work on the subject of ophthalmic maladies,* in which I have endeavoured to furnish to the student and practitioner a clear description of disease, with a pretty copious account of its appropriate treatment. The size, and consequent expensive- ness, of my Treatise has much interfered with the amount of its circulation abroad, and this circumstance has fur- nished an opportunity of plagiarism to an amusing extent- So that, in reading some foreign journals, I have on more than one occasion, done into English what has appeared to me an entire Section of my own work. In fact, the coin- cidence of expression, arrangement, and view of the subject, has been quite remarkable. These little mistakes we shall presently correct. I shall say very little respecting the articles on diseases of the eye in Copland's Medical Dictionari/f, and the Ci/clopcedia of Surgery^X ^^^^ them are at pre- sent published. As far, however, as they have hitherto gone they promise to maintain the character of the well- informed and, for the most part, distinguished individuals engaged in their production. In addition to the preceding works the more advanced students may consult, with great advantage, those sections of the surgical works of Warner,§ B.
