Could Have Saved Pepys' Eyes.

Mr.. darcy Power has contributed a
paper to the London Lancet dealing
with the question Of the eyesight of
Samuel Pepys and the physical rea-
sons that caused him to discontinue
his diary at the age Of sc. It seems a
little late in the day to be prescribing
for Samuel Pepys, but Mr.. Power tells
US the exact prescription that he
would have written and he makes no
doubt that he could have removed the
trouble and so prolonged the incom-
parable diary for many years. Pepys
himself makes frequent references to
his trouble, which at that time was
beyond the reach Of optical skill. He
closes his diary as being "alI that I
doubt I shall ever able to do with nv
own eyes in the keeping Of my Jour
nal" He used such magnifying
glasses and tubes" as the science Of
the day could suggest, but actually

slight one and could have been rene
