    Having now faithfully detailed the circumstances which led me to the adoption of Cheselden's obso- lete operation, I trust (although unexpectedly anti- cipated in its communication to the Public) I have satisfactorily shewn that I have not been indebted to the works of any other author for its revival and im- provement. By the various alterations which I have made in this operation, I have been enabled to render the practice of it applicable to every morbid state of the eye requiring an artificial pupil. I shall next proceed to give a description of the operations requisite in these various states, and afterwards sub- join some general remarks on the subject, together w ith some cases illustrative of their efficacy.
