Synopsis
Excerpt from Ocular Therapeutics: With Illustrations
While preserving asfar as possible the spirit and style of the original, the translator has not considered it necessary to adhere slavishly to the text. With the author's consent certain slight omissions have been made, with a View of somewhat reducing the size of the work, but nothing of importance, it is believed, has been either omitted or altered. In order to render the work more useful to English and American readers, whenever a French formula is referred to in the original, the same is given in full in a foot-note, 'and translated, if there is any equivalent for it in the British Pharmacopoeia. The French formulae in the notes have been taken from the, 21st edition of the Nozweau Formulaz're magistral by A. Buchardat, Paris, 1878, an excellent work of its kind. Appendices have also been added on the Metric System in Ophthalmology; The Metric Equivalents of British Weights, and The Metric Notation of the Thermometer.
