Excerpt from The Practice in the Liverpool Ophthalmic Infirmary, for the Year 1834: Being the First Special Report To the Trustees and Subscribers of the Liverpool Ophthalmic Infirmary. To you, Ladies and Gentlemen, as expressed in the title page, the following sheets are respectfully dedicated. Many reasons, - perhaps it may be said by some "mixed motives, " - prompt me thus to present you with a report of my practice in the Liverpool Ophthalmic Infirmary. From among the number, it would suffice were I to content myself with specifying one to which all others are subordinate, namely, an anxious desire to render to you a faithful account of my stewardship. Surely this motive will be considered as legitimate by every reflecting judge. On my part, it is at least heartfelt, and professed sincerely. It must be one shared and felt in common by every trust-deserving medical officer, holding, as I do, a public and responsible appointment. To consummate this wish, then, no mode seemed better adapted than putting my narrative in the form of a Clinical Report, in which, too, I am enabled to outline those views, which have influenced my treatment of the diseases of the Eye, during the last past year. Publicity should not, and need never be feared nor shunned by the well educated and honorable minded practitioner. An institution like yours can only flourish - can only gather strength and stability - can only grow old in dispensing its many sterling blessings to the indigent classes of this great and multiplying community, by general publicity.
