First appearance of Schweigger's important publication on ophthalmoscope: "This collection of Schweigger's lectures on the use of the ophthalmoscope is the first comprehensive work on the subject. The author is careful to provide anatomical interpretations for the ophthalmoscopic observations described. The work begins with optical considerations and auto-ophthalmoscopy; then follow the various ophthalmoscopic methods, the examination of the refractive media and the diagnosis of refractive errors, and the examination of the ocular fundus" (Albert et al., Source Book of Ophthalmology, no. 2099).
