‎---- EDITION ORIGINALE ---- BEL EXEMPLAIRE ---- EXEMPLAIRE D'EPREUVE DE L'AUTEUR INTERFOLLIE AVEC DES CORRECTIONS DE GALEZOWSKI ---- "By long-continued researches, Dr. Galezowski, whose reputation as an ophthalmologist is well known, has arrived at the conclusion that the condition called colour blindness or daltonism is not always congenital, but may be acquired in certain states of the optic disc and retina. Further, colour may be made use of as a test for the condition of the optic nerves. The early part of this treatise is occupied with some information as to the laws of colour founded on the observations of Chevreul, the optical laws of light and the physiology of vision, especially of the various colours. The most important portion for us is that relating to congenital and acquired colour blindness, a subject which is fully illustrated by cases and drawings. The last part of the work deals with coloured vision. There is a scale of colours in various shades, as well as test types to be used in practice". (Medical times and gazette, 1868)**2252/C2‎
