Synopsis

Excerpt from An Account of the Ophthalmia Which Has Appeared in England Since the Return of the British Army From Egypt

The happy exemption of the northern parts of Europe from those forms of Ophthalmia, to which, from the earliest periods of history, the inhabitants of warm climates have been subject, has rendered us so little conscious of their existence that their memory has been gradually lost, both in our schools and in our systems. When those countries, how ever, in Which they have so long prevailed, were the seats of science and of literature, the subject shared an attention adequate to its importance, and in' the writings of: A 2the earliest authors of our science.these forms of Ophthalmia are described with an accuracy which will not likely be sur passed in the present time. The politi cal connexion, which so long subsisted between Greece and Egypt, rendered the diseases of the one country, in some measure, common to both, and in the writings of the Greek physicians, the diseases of the latter country are fully discussed. In the works of Hippocrates, but still more in the latter authors of the Greek school, as zetius, Paulus Ege netus, Alexander Trallianus, and some others, the history of the Ophthalmia.
