§ See G&M 5849. "This comprehensive work marks an epoch in ophthalmic surgery. It is based on lectures delivered by Lawrence at the London Ophthalmic Infirmary. He was surgeon to St. Bartholomew's Hospital; he succeeded Abernethy as lecturer on surgery and did much to advance the surgery of the eye. The French edition is the true first. It was prepared and translated from Lawrence?s notes by Charles Billard, and appeared in 1830, three years before this edition." (note courtesy of Nigel Phillips.). Item #123751
