TitleNotes on colour-blindness, by William Pole
Date8 June 1900
DescriptionOn Edridge Green's pamphlet from The Lancet, noting his own papers on the subject. Pole describes his own 'colour-blindness', a term which he considers incorrect and misleading - he sees colours vividly, but with different impressions to others' sight. He terms it 'di-chromatic vision', noting the sensations involved. He was 30 years of age before he found this out and he understands the nature of difficulties for others. He cannot speak to the proposed tests, but he would be happy to give whatever aid he can.
