Сторінка 40 - ... be considered as of different kinds. This division will be sanctioned, if we consider the relations in which it stands to the method pursued for discovering them, and which is based on the Young-Helmholtz theory. It is this we are about to explain. " We classify the different kinds of color-blindness under especial heads, to be able the better to grasp the whole.

Сторінка 205 - The rapidity with which this examination is made does not seem to directly correspond with the nature of the chromatic sense, but to depend wholly upon the character of the person examined. One of intelligence, with a quick, practical mind, is examined in less than a minute. In this time, in fact, a normal eye could easily find the four or five skeins of the same color as the sample, and the color-blind make a sufficient number of characteristic mistakes to thoroughly establish the diagnosis.
Сторінка 221 - The best plan for directing how to proceed is by oral instructions and de visu; but here we are obliged to accomplish this by description.
