Chevalier Taylor--Ophthalmiater Royal (1703-1772).

John Taylor was surgeon-oculist to King George II, and claimed to be Ophthalmiater Royal to the Pope and to the Emperor, along with a multitude of royalties, including a mythical Princess of Georgia and the Viceroy of the Indies. He was the first and last ophthalmologist to travel from court to court of Europe with a cavalcade of outriders and supporters; and although he was caricatured as a mountebank, there was an element of genius about him, and his innovations, especially in squint surgery, demand that he should not be forgotten.

The evolution and vicissitudes of directional scanning.

The relationship between Directional Scanning and Eye/Hand Dominance is confused. Both seem to have emerged in the Bronze Age, when patterns of artistry and cursive writing became fixed; but, by the time the alphabet was invented, the patterns became complicated by human perversity and racial rivalries, with an interesting, often damaging, legacy to the civilisations and cultures that followed.
