    previously beset their path in the treatment of these affections, ex- plained and cleared away. With reference to the series of clinical remarks on the extraction of cataract which form the conclusion of this pamphlet, and which, as a specimen of clear, precise and comprehensive clinical instruc- tion, the translator believes to be without a parallel in ophthalmic literature, it may be well to remark that their value is in no wise diminished by the late researches of von Graefe on modified linear extraction and his present frequent adoption of the method. Till vastly more extended statistics have proved the superior safety of another procedure, flap extraction must remain the rule in a large proportion of cases and for the majority of practitioners. The lectures on Amblyopia and Amaurosis were compiled and reported by Dr. Engelhardt, and were translated from the Klinische Monatsblatter fur Augenheilkunde for 1865. Those on the extrac- tion of cataract were taken from the volume of the same magazine for 1863. 6 Beacon Street, Boston, May 25, 1866.
