    the Creator has bestowed upon man. Those celebrated men, who, in this and other coun¬ tries, have bestowed their life-time on the study of the eye, have ever been most ready to acknowledge the difficulties con¬ nected with the attainment of a thorough knowledge of the diseases of that very com¬ plicated and delicate organ. Should we trust it, then, to the hand of presuming, vapouring ignorance; or should we allow our fellow-men of any rank or situation in life, unwarned, to risk the loss of an organ of sense, upon which depend in so great a degree, both their own happiness, and the welfare of those with whom they are con¬ nected? < TV.
