'This little volume should secure a wide circle of readers. We have been specially pleased with the many useful hints given by Mr. Browning regarding sight preservation. The most interesting part of the book, perhaps, is that which relates to the choice of spectacles and to those needs of the eyes which demand their use."-Health.

"Every one who cares about his eyesight should get this little book; those who think their eyesight of no particular moment can very readily dispense with it."—The late R. A. PROCTOR, in Knowledge..

"A valuable and really interesting handbook, giving the best of scientific teaching in the simplest and most expressive language. Much excellent advice is given, and there are also numerous hints for preserving the eyesight."-Daily Chronicle.

"A most valuable little work, full of practical hints. Mr. Browning treats his subject with singular clearness, and brings the results of great experience to bear upon it."-The Rock.

"This little book can do only good, into whatever hands it finds its way. I only wish I could get it into the hands and heads of every schoolmaster in the kingdom, and so stop at its source an evil which is growing at such a portentous rate as to threaten to make us in another generation as shortsighted as the Germans."-Truth.

"Mr. Browning writes so pleasantly and so instructively as to cause us to regret that the exigencies of space preclude further comment or quotation from his book, which has now entered a fourth edition and seventh thousand, and is illustrated with over fifty woodcuts.-Echo.

"We do not remember to have seen this little volume before, though it bears on its title-page 'fourth edition-seventh thousand.' The success of the book seems thoroughly well-deserved. There is an amazing amount of ignorance about the sight. Mr. Browning deals in a simple intelligible fashion with the subject. This is a most useful volume."-Spectator.
