Synopsis

Excerpt from The Anatomy of the Human Orbit: And Accessory Organs of Vision

The subject-matter of this work originally formed the substance of a series of lectures given to candidates for the Oxford Diploma of Ophthalmology, and is here presented in an amplified and completed form. The work has suffered many interruptions since its initiation in 1913, which must be held as an excuse for any fluctuations in the manner of its treatment. Primarily intended for the use of ophthalmologists, it is hoped that the necessary incorporation of matter relative to the neighbouring nasal region will also prove of interest to the rhinologist, and that as a regional study the whole will commend itself to the general anatomist.

It was intended that the chief value of the lectures should lie in the demonstration of the large series of dissections and preparations (now in the Oxford anatomical museum) which by the kindness of Professor Arthur Thomson the author was able to make while working under him. Similarly, it is hoped that the chief feature of value in this book will be the photographic illustrations of such of these preparations as lend themselves to the purpose. For any success this object may attain I am greatly indebted to the technical skill and tireless interest of the departmental assistant, Mr. Chesterman, who took all the photographs, with the exception of Nos. 3, 23, 36, 50, 90, 97, 130, which were prepared at McGill.
