Notes: A fascinating study of the procedures these two 18th century musicians subjected themselves to in an attempt to regain some of their eye-sight. They both suffered from cataracts, which at the time was addressed by barbers or self-proclaimed surgeons. A well researched study, with black-and-white illustrations, bibliography, chronological table, index.
