Excerpt from Atlas and Epitome of Operative Ophthalmology This volume forms a natural and admirable conclusion of the series of Atlases which Professor Haab has prepared and published. Beginning with a thorough discussion of the proper construction of operation-rooms, narcosis both general and local, sterilization as it is applied to ophthalmic instruments, and the theory and practice of disinfection, the main operations upon the eye and its appendages are described with characteristic fidelity and clearness. The thirty colored lithographic plates portray in a far more satisfactory way than words can the steps of an operation. Next to seeing an operation itself, these are of value, and in most instances give a view of lifelike accuracy. What is omitted in the colored plates is supplied in the text illustrations, of which there are one hundred and fifty. As in the previous volumes of this series, one is impressed with Dr. Haab's wide experience, admirable technic, and sound judgment. The editor, as in the previous books of this series, has compared the translation with the original, and believes that it conveys with faithfulness the authors's meaning.
