Lewis Carroll's Library - 3

Charlie Lovett’s Lewis Carroll among his Books – A Descriptive Catalogue of the Private Library of Charles l. Dodgson lists as No.2270, Williams, Henry Willard Our Eyes and How To Take Care of Them, Tegg, London 1871. This was first re-sold in the 1898 sale by the Art and Antiques Agency in Oxford shortly after the Brook’s sale of Dodgson’s effects and library and, as Lovett informs, is now in my collection. When I bought the book, a short text on ophthalmology, it had just been nicely housed in a clamshell box and sits well beside the other medical books from CLD’s library.
