Abstract
This is a remarkable book. Hardly a textbook in the usual sense, it records the mature conclusions of the author based on extensive private practice of 40 years, of which a very considerable proportion has been devoted to the problems of children. He is probably best known for his writings on amblyopia, his advocacy of miotics in the treatment of strabismus and as founder and editor of the Journal of Pediatric Ophthalmology. There are a number of unusual features about this book. The only evidence of a publisher is the name Pan-American in very small print on the back of the binding. There are no headings at the top of each page making it difficult for the reader to find his way around. The order of the chapters is novel in that it starts with a detailed discussion of the Position of Rest and does not get to the Anatomy
