Oliver (Assistant Surgeon, Royal Eye and Ear Hospital, Bradford), "With the authors compliments," and later presented to the Bradford Historical and Antiquarian Society by his brother (and Society President, 1931-2) Eldred Oliver in 1938, who noted: "At the time this book was compiled it was the only work extant on the English language on the subject of the history of spectacles". George Henry Oliver, M.R.C.S. (1861-1924) was educated at the Leeds Medical School and Vienna, later spending "practically the whole of his professional life" in Bradford, where he eventually became consulting surgeon to the Royal Eye and Ear Hospital, Bradford. He held various appointments, including chair of his local Division of the BMA, and was due to be appointed vice-president of the Section of Ophthalmology of the BMA before his death; he was also a keen naturalist and an expert on spiders (BJO, 1924).
