Excerpt from Practical Treatise on the Use of the Ophthalmoscope: Being the Essay for Which the Jacksonian Prize, in the Year 1859, Was Awarded by the Royal College of Surgeons of England The following Work comprises the essay for which the Jacksonian prize for 1859 was awarded by the Royal College of Surgeons of England. At that time, I had no idea of publishing it, nor would it now appear had I not been repeatedly asked by the students at the Royal London Ophthalmic Hospital for a guide to the Ophthalmoscopic Examination of the Eye. In the absence of any standard work in English on this subject, I determined to publish the essay. Since, however, its utility as it stood would have been limited, the subject given being, The Morbid Changes in the Retina as seen in the Eye of the living Person, and after removal from the body, together with the Symptoms associated with the several Morbid Conditions, I decided to include all the ocular structures, and to give a short account of the optics of the Ophthalmoscope, but, on the other hand, to omit a large number of cases and copious anatomical notes, in order to keep the present work within the narrowest bounds.
