Excerpt from The Indian Operation of Couching for Cataract: Incorporating the Hunterian Lectures The collection of fifty-four eyeballs, on which the work for my Hunterian Lectures was founded, I have had the honour to present to the Museum of the Royal College of Surgeons. I think I am justified in claiming that it is unrivalled, and likely to remain so. At the suggestion Of Sir John Bland Sutton, I have endeavoured so to write the chapter on patho logy that it may furnish a guide to any who care to study the subject within the walls of that museum. At the same time, I have striven to make it readable and of interest to those who have no such Opportunity. In this the photographs have greatly helped me. As I have already said, I have given nearly a quarter Of a century's intermittent work to elucidate these problems, which I felt were of wide interest, not merely to India or to the East alone, but to the whole civilized world. During the last two years I have devoted a very large proportion of my spare time continuously to the subject, but it is so immense and so far-reaching that I feel I have left much unfinished. On every hand fresh problems open up, till there seems no limit to what might be done, given time and opportunity. This operation of couching, so old that its origin is lost in the dim mists of antiquity, has still much that is new to be learnt for the seeking. There are many Of the younger surgeons in the East who could carry the work much farther if they would, and who would be a hundred-fold repaid if they did.
