Förlagets beskrivning
Excerpt from Ophthalmology, Ancient and Modern: Annual Address Before the Maine Medical Association, June 22, 1881 What would be the thoughts of noble kepler, could he now return to the world and see the general practitioners and specialists who make so much money out of their profession, without ever discovering anything by which the world is made richer? Or what would he say to those who have but little practice and so fall into quackery, or who live honestly but grumblingly, in spite of what they call gnawing poverty. Think of kepler going sixty times over his calculations on the heavenly stars, or working out, in equal patience, his ideas of vision and the laws of light, writing almanacs for his bread and water, and having nothing certain for a livelihood except his 890 pension (which they wouldn't pay him) and a strong soul! And, as we may say, starving to death, warding it off, as well as he could, by exhibiting the wonderful camera-obscura just discovered by porta, at Naples.
