Family history, usually destined or even designed for limited consumption, is a familiar genre within Mormon culture. Mostly written with little attention to standards of historical scholarship, such works are a distinctly hagiographic form of family memorabilia. But many family sagas in the right hands can prove widely engaging, owing to inherent drama and historical relevance. They can truthfully illuminate larger matters of history, humanity, and culture.Kerry Bate proceeds on t...

In "Perfect Sight Without Glasses," William Horatio Bates presents a revolutionary approach to vision care, challenging the conventional reliance on corrective lenses. Bates advocates for a method rooted in the belief that many vision problems stem from misuse of the eyes and mental strain rather than physical maladies. His writing is characterized by a pragmatic and accessible style, making complex ideas about vision easily digestible for lay readers. Contextually, Bates' work emerges in ...

Perfect Sight Without Glasses sets out Bates's radical claim that vision improves by relieving strain rather than by wearing lenses. In clinical yet polemical prose, he braids case histories, retinoscopic notes, and exercises—palming, sunning, shifting, "central fixation"—arguing that accommodation reflects extraocular muscular action and that refractive errors fluctuate with attention and emotion, challenging the Helmholtzian consensus amid early twentieth‑century medical pluralism. Bates...

Do you read imperfectly? Can you observe then that when you look at the first word, or the first letter, of a sentence you do not see best where you are looking; that you see other words, or other letters, just as well as or better than the one you are looking at? Do you observe also that the harder you try to see the worse you see?Now close your eyes and rest them, remembering some color, like black or white, that you can remember perfectly. Keep them closed until they feel rested,...

This book aims to be a collection of facts and not of theories, and insofar as it is, I do not fear successful contradiction. When explanations have been offered it has been done with considerable trepidation, because I have never been able to formulate a theory that would withstand the test of the facts either in my possession at the time, or accumulated later. The same is true of the theories of every other man, for a theory is only a guess, and you cannot guess or imagine the truth. No ...
