    AMERICAN EDITOR'S PREFACE. In presenting this more or less complete Treatise on Diseases of the Eyes to the public, I take the opportunity of offering my most cordial thanks for the kind reception which all the books I have edited have met with. It is also a source of great gratification to me, that my publisher has met with sufficient encouragement to give me a carte blanche to compile and edit as many Treatises similar to those already published, as I may find time or inclination to prepare for the press. Heretofore the Homoeopathic literature of this country has been con- fined principally to periodical publications and to Works on Do- mestic Medicine, while the Medical profession has not been ade- quately supplied with Monographs and Treatises especially addressed to them. It is to be hoped that other and more worthy laborers will soon announce themselves. If every capable Homoeopathic physi- cian would prepare a monograph upon the disease or speciality in which he takes most interest and has most experience, an invaluable boon would be conferred upon the profession ; the labors and respon- sibilities of the junior practitioner would be very materially lessened; and Homoeopathy would acquire a much more secure and scientific basis. We require many more volumes like those of Tessier on Pneumonia, Joslin and Tessier on Cholera, Holcombe on Yellow Fever, Helmuth, Hill and Hunt on Surgery. J. C. PETERS. 19 East \hth-st., New-York.
