Bioptic Driving in the United States


Laura Windsor and Richard Windsor
The concept of bioptic driving began in the United States
after the development of a practical bioptic system by
William Feinbloom, OD, PhD. A bioptic telescope is a
telescope mounted in or at the top of the spectacle lenses,
allowing the wearer to view underneath it, through the
carrier lenses, and to intermittently tip their head down to
quickly view through the telescope. The bioptic telescope
is used for spotting signs, traffic lights, and other objects
in the distance when driving. Mild to moderately visually
impaired patients have been using bioptics for more than
50 years to drive. Most states have regulations on bioptic
driving, but the rules vary greatly. Proper candidate
selection, fitting of the bioptic, and training are crucial for
the driver’s success and safety on the road. Patients
should be considered on a case-by-case basis to determine
their eligibility to drive. More naturalistic research, that is,
in the real world, is needed to further validate the safety
of bioptic driving, the training needed, and to look at
state vision regulations for driving.

The Use of B-Scan Ultrasound in Primary Eye Care
Elena Z. Biffi, Benjamin Young, Joseph Edward Kane Jr., and
Mehdi Najafi
B-scan ultrasound has been a part of an eye care provider’s
armamentarium of ophthalmic imaging techniques dating
back to at least the 1950s. Even with the advent of newer
imaging devices, B-scan ultrasonography serves an important
adjunct role in assessment of various ophthalmic conditions.
Relatively benign ocular conditions as well as potentially life-

Nonsurgical Treatment of Strabismus


Marie I. Bodack
Nonsurgical treatment options for esotropia and exotropia
may be indicated for some patients to improve outcomes
presurgery or postsurgery or in lieu of surgery. The
ideal outcome is for a patient to have binocularity and
excellent alignment. Current nonsurgical treatment
options for patients with esotropia and exotropia include
lenses, prisms, occlusion, and vision therapy.

Update on Pediatric Optic Neuritis


Sravanthi Vegunta
Pediatric optic neuritis (ON) is a condition with a broad
differential including demyelinating syndromes,
astrocytopathies, and infectious processes. Many
retrospective studies have been published on the
similarities and differences between pediatric ON
secondary to clinically isolated syndrome, multiple
sclerosis, myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein, and
neuro-myelitis optica spectrum disorder. The
presentations, visual outcomes, and laboratory testing,
and imaging findings have significant overlap but
important differences. This article details how to
distinguish between various causes of autoimmune ON
to provide the appropriate acute and chronic therapies to
patients. Gaps in our current knowledge and suggestions
for future studies are discussed.

Genetics of Congenital Cataract


Reddin Ahmad, Suzannah Bell, and Mariya Moosajee
Up to 40,000 children are born with cataracts annually
worldwide. In the UK, children presenting with bilateral
cataract most commonly have a genetic basis. Mutations
in genes involved in lens-specific proteins or regulation
of eye development can cause isolated cataract, those
associated with more complex ocular defects and/or
syndromic features. Early surgery and frequent follow-
up are vital to avoid amblyopia and optimize visual
potential. Routine genetic testing is important to allow
accurate diagnosis and personalized management of
patients including tailored genetic counseling.
Multidisciplinary care is vital, including clinical genetic

Pediatric Graft-Versus-Host Disease


Kerri McInnis-Smith, Holly K. Miller, and
Aparna Ramasubramanian
Even with the support of evidence-based medicine
available, the proper diagnosis and treatment of graft-
versus-host disease (GVHD) and its ophthalmologic
manifestations, especially in the pediatric population, is
quite nuanced. The wide array of disease presentations,
the existence of confounding factors such as underlying
disease and concurrent treatment, and the challenge of

Fluorescence In Situ Hybridization in Ocular Oncology


Seema Sen, Shahzan Anjum, and Mehar Chand Sharma
Fluorescence in situ hybridization is a useful tool to visualize
and map the genetic material in an individual’s cells,
including specific genes or portions of genes. This
technique has diagnostic and prognostic implications for a
variety of ocular malignant tumors because genetic
mutations detected by FISH provide useful information for
better management including targeted therapy.
Chromosomal abnormalities including t(14;18)
translocation in lymphoma, monosomy of chromosome 3
in uveal melanoma, and t(6;9) translocation in adenoid
cystic carcinoma of lacrimal gland are some of the common
genetic hallmarks of these malignancies.

Intra-arterial Chemotherapy for Retinoblastoma: An Update


Bhavna Chawla, Navneet Sidhu, and Shailesh Gaikwad
Retinoblastoma is the most common primary intraocular
tumor in children. It also is one of the most successfully
treated tumors using various treatment strategies.
Conventional globe salvage treatments include the use of
focal therapies in combination with systemic
chemotherapy. Intra-arterial chemotherapy (IAC) is a
comparatively newer treatment modality used primarily
for globe salvage in refractory retinoblastoma. It
involves the direct administration of chemotherapy
drugs into the ophthalmic artery to achieve a high local
intraocular concentration. IAC has been found to
successfully treat retinoblastoma, and a few newer
modifications are being tried. Our article discusses the
significance of IAC, technique employed, drugs used,
and newer advances in its administration.

Kasturi Bhattacharjee, Aditi Mehta, and Vatsalya Venkatraman
Pediatric periocular vascular neoplasms originate from
transformed endothelial cells showing increased
proliferation. Commonest of these is infantile
hemangioma, which presents in the first year of life. The
lesion exhibits initial rapid growth followed by
spontaneous regression. Locally infiltrative and
malignant tumors, although rare, may exhibit metastatic

potential. Neoplasms need to be differentiated from


congenital vascular malformations, which are
noninvoluting, exhibit growth commensurately with age,
and do not demonstrate endothelial proliferation. Timely
treatment of periocular lesions obscuring the visual axis
helps prevent amblyopia. Systemic involvement or
presence of large lesions (>5 cm) warrants assessment of
cardiac function as the high-flow lesions may produce
high-output cardiac failure. Mass effect of extensive
perioral/nasal/subglottic lesions may compromise the
airway. A multidisciplinary approach is important for
optimizing treatment outcomes. Propranolol has gained
FDA approval in 2017 as the first-line therapy for
infantile hemangioma. In contrast, malformations are
difficult to treat, and therapy mostly is symptomatic.

Cataract & Refractive Surgery

Femtosecond Laser-Assisted Cataract Surgery


Emily Chang and Amy Zhang
Since femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery (FLACS)
first became commercially available approximately a
decade ago, it has continued to provoke much interest as
well as controversy. As femtosecond laser technology
continues to evolve, FLACS has shown to be a safe
alternative to the conventional phacoemulsification
surgery. However, the successful adoption of a new
technology requires both cost efficiency and significant
improvement over conventional techniques. This article
summarizes the utilization of femtosecond laser
technology in certain steps of cataract surgery and
reviews its safety and efficacy in each step.

Advanced Technology Intraocular Lenses


Mariam S. Hamid, Man Li Jin, and Kevin J. Everett
Recently developed advanced technology intraocular
lenses (IOLs) aim to provide patients with the ability to
see in-focus images at multiple distances to mimic the
natural accommodative function of the eye. Multifocal
IOLs use diffractive, refractive, or hybrid technologies to
allow images from multiple focal points to be
simultaneously focused on the retina. This inadvertently
causes photic side effects including glare or haloes and
reduced contrast sensitivity, and therefore, careful
patient selection and consent are indicated. Extended
depth-of-focus IOLs use a single, elongated focal point to
reduce photic side effects, though often at the expense of
near vision compared with multifocal IOLs. This article
will review recent developments in advanced technology
IOLs such as multifocal, accommodative, and extended
depth-of-focus IOLs and discuss their visual outcomes
and side effects.

Macular holes are foveal neurosensory disruptions that


can impair vision and cause symptoms such as
metamorphopsia and scotomas. Stages 1A and 1B
should be observed. Stage 2 can be treated with multiple
modalities including topical dehydration agents,
pneumatic vitreolysis, and surgery. Surgery remains the
most used treatment, because it can prevent additional
vision loss from progression to stages 3 and 4. Surgery is
also the recommended treatment of stages 3 and 4.
Inverted internal limiting membrane flaps, human
amniotic membrane plugs, mesenchymal stem cell
injections, and autologous retinal transplants are newer
adjunctive treatments that offer encouraging results.

Peripheral Retinal Degenerations and Treatment Options


George Jiao, Marib Akanda, and Ronni M. Lieberman
There are numerous pathologies that can be found in the
peripheral retina, including degenerative disease.
Involvement of the vitreoretinal interface and certain
intraretinal degenerations can lead to retinal tears or
detachments. The standard of care for diagnosing and
monitoring these peripheral retinal degenerations is
dilated fundus examination, but current technologies
may aid us when the diagnosis is unclear. Prophylactic
treatments may be warranted in many cases of
predisposing lesions. Definite treatments for retinal tears
are important in preventing retinal detachments.

Update on Retinal and Ocular Imaging


Samuel Gelnick, Minh Trinh, and Ronni M. Lieberman
Retinal imaging has experienced rapid growth over the
past decades. An increase in resolution, field of view,
and accessibility has led to an increase in the use of
retinal imaging in clinical practice across all specialties of
ophthalmology. Understanding the advantages and
disadvantages of these retinal imaging modalities is
crucial to obtaining the appropriate studies to diagnose
and monitor retinal pathologies. In this article, we
review common imaging modalities, including their
evolution and clinical applications.

Cornea and External Diseases


Stepwise Approach to the Diagnosis and Management of
Dry Eye and Ocular Surface Disease
Jennifer B. Nadelmann, Angela Gupta, Caroline W. Chung, and
Stephen E. Orlin
Dry eye disease (DED) is a multifactorial disorder caused
by abnormalities of the tear film that causes damage to the
ocular surface. Screening tools are helpful in making the
diagnosis and in determining disease severity. It is
important to take a careful history and to evaluate
meibomian gland physiology, tear film quality,
meibomian gland status, and tear production. Clinicians
should take a stepwise approach in treating DED.
Treatments vary for evaporative dry eye, aqueous
deficiency, and/or inflammatory DED. For patients with
symptoms that have not improved following
conservative measures, prescription medications, blood
products, procedures or devices can be considered.

are technically easier to place but are associated with risks
including corneal decompensation, uveitis, and glaucoma.
Sulcus placement of IOLs can achieve physiologic

Teprotumumab: A Major Advance in the Treatment of


Thyroid Eye Disease Management
Caroline Y. Yu, Jamie A. Keen, and Erin M. Shriver
Thyroid eye disease (TED) is an uncommon orbital
inflammatory disease that can lead to disfigurement and
permanent vision loss. Traditional therapies such as
glucocorticoids and orbital radiation primarily were used
to treat inflammation during the active phase of the
disease. Teprotumumab, the first Food and Drug
Administration-approved medication for TED, targets
the insulin-like growth factor-1 receptor and has been
shown to decrease proptosis, diplopia, and clinical
activity score. In this review, the pathophysiology and
treatment landscape of TED are summarized, and the
mechanism, clinical data, and associated adverse events
of teprotumumab are described in detail.

Diagnosis and Management of Irritated Eyelids


Christine Ryu and Rao V. Chundury
Eyelid irritation is one of the most common complaints
encountered by eye care providers. The cause can be
divided into 5 broad categories of blepharitis,
immunologic, inflammatory, infectious, and neoplastic.
Some of the most common causes include staphylococcal
blepharitis, seborrheic dermatitis, posterior blepharitis,
allergic contact dermatitis, atopic dermatitis, and rosacea.
Steroids have been the first-line treatment of
immunologic and inflammatory conditions, but newer
steroid-sparing agents such as pimecrolimus and
tacrolimus also are proving effective. Patients with
atypical presentations or symptoms refractory to
treatment should be evaluated for possible malignancies.

LOOKING BACKWARD AND FORWARD

I
n Volume 7 of Advances in Ophthalmology and Optometry, we again have asked
experts in each of the pertinent fields to sift through the current literature to
give us insights on the latest developments, such as bioptic driving in the
United States; the use of B-scan ultrasound in primary eye care; nonsurgical
treatment of strabismus; an update on pediatric optic neuritis; genetics of
congenital cataract; intra-arterial chemotherapy for retinoblastoma: an update;
screening for plaquenil; femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery; COVID-
19-related health disparities in ophthalmology with a retrospective analysis at
a large academic public hospital; a stepwise approach to the diagnosis and man-
agement of dry eye and ocular surface disease; teprotumumab: a major
advance in the treatment of thyroid eye disease management; and much more.
We continue to explore the new ideas, new treatments, and new ways of do-
ing things to give us a fresh frame of reference to sort through the crush of data
and to make sense in a real way of how to proceed.

Yet of all the pictures of either the stately or the modest homes of
Scotland, which now hang in the gallery of memory, none exceeds in
beauty and charm those of the home at Invergowrie, where we were
several times guests. Here was a typical Scottish family of character
and culture. Father and mother were in the prime of life, health, and
manifold activities. Around them had grown up a family of sons and
daughters, from the youngest, a blooming maiden of eighteen,
educated in Germany and at Brussels, to the eldest son, who,
besides being active in business, was an officer in the local volunteer
artillery corps. At night he loved to put on his Highland suit for
comfort and enjoyment, as we chatted with his friends on British and
American politics. One of these talks, in the billiard-room, was soon
after President Cleveland had issued his strenuous proclamation
concerning Venezuela, when British feelings were hurt and when a
combination of tact, some knowledge of history, and of the political
and personal motives of American Presidents was necessary to the
guest and peacemaker.
The Invergowrie family honored the American in Scotland more
than once by inviting, to the dinners given in his honor, the
professional gentlemen of the neighborhood and from Dundee.
While in Scotland one must beware of what toes he is likely to
tread upon, should he nurse opinions differing from those welcomed
by people holding any of the various shades of Presbyterianism,
whom he will probably meet anywhere and everywhere. It was in
Scotland, above every other country, that we learned what it meant
to “mind your p’s,” yet our hope is that we succeeded measurably.
The garden parties, in which the young people had their fun and
amusement, the five o’clock teas, at which the ladies of the
neighborhood dropped in for chat and friendly calls, were as
delightful to enjoy as they are now pleasant to recall. Yet, as in the
United States the county fair excels all other inventions and facilities
for seeing the real, average American, so I valued most, for intimate
knowledge of the Scottish populace of all grades and ages, the local
exhibitions, “bazaars,” and gatherings.
To be present, as we often were, to see the modern version of
“The Cotter’s Saturday Night,”—though in this version we mean a
luxurious home, with all the appointments of comfort, culture, and of
service,—crowned all delights. This social situation in Scotland is
necessarily different from that in America, where, in the cities at
least, native-born maidens so rarely take domestic service in
families. With our composite people, also, there is usually such a
disagreement as to the theories of the universe, as taught by priest,
parson, and rabbi, that worship of the same God by all, at one time,
in the same way, and in one household, seems impossible. The
head of the house or the mistress holds usually to one form of
dogma or ritual, while the servants have been reared in an
atmosphere so very different that family worship, with the “help”
joining in or present, is, to say the least, not customary in “the land of
the free.” Occasionally British visitors, who imagine that the very
mixed people called Americans are descended chiefly from insular
instead of continental stock, like the late James Anthony Froude
when in New York city, for instance, make disagreeable discoveries.
At times, in our democracy the kitchen rules the parlor.
At Invergowrie, as in a score or more of homes on the island in
which I have been so often a guest, the two or three maids and
perhaps a man-servant came in with their Bibles and read, with the
children of the household, the Word which is above every other word
—the Father’s message to his children. Where there was but one
servant, the same rule usually held. At Invergowrie, besides a
chapter of Scripture and a prayer by the father, the high priest of the
family, the older son read one of the Psalms in Rous’s metrical
version.
The breakfast in Scotland, as in the British Isles generally, is one
that suits admirably the free-born Briton. It is certainly a festival of
freedom for the servants, who are usually apt to be upstairs or
attending to other domestic duties, though in a large family, the
members of which sit down at the same time, there is usually one
maid present to wait upon the table. At several places where I was
entertained, even in well-to-do families, the grown sons and
daughters or members of the household came and went at their
convenience, helping themselves at will from dishes on a sideboard.
After the table has been laid by one of the maids, who may or may
not remain present, it may be that the elder daughter serves. At
Invergowrie there was a large, normal family, consisting of parents
and children, with sufficient uniformity of dispositions and habits to
make both the breakfast and the dinner time a delightful gathering,
with merriment and leisure. The news of the day, the happenings of
the neighborhood, the things alike and different as between Scotland
and America, the annals of the village fair, or the social chat, or
those pleasant nothings that lubricate life, made the moments pass
all too rapidly.
That father benign and mother of imposing presence have been
long laid to sleep; but in London, and Edinburgh, and Dundee, in the
world at large, live yet these sons and daughters of “Bonnie
Scotland” who have made the Americans’ memories of their lovely
home in their home land a storehouse of delight.
Besides the private grounds of the home, with their trees and
shrubbery, there were walks that afforded plenty of room for rambles.
Still farther afield, yet not far away from either the house or the
railway station, were ruins of Dargie Church. These touched the
imagination and called history to resurrection. It appeared strange to
come across the footprints of our old friend St. Winifred, or Boniface,
whom we met with in our studies of the Pilgrim Fathers, and in the
Netherlands, whose varied and strenuous life, as ecclesiastical
politician as well as saint and soldier of the Papacy, quite as much
as preacher of the gospel, was one of such amazing activity. At
Scrooby in England, at Dokkum in Friesland, in France and in
Germany, where I visited the places made historic by his activities,
he left enduring marks of his influence and power.
At Invergowrie I meditated among the ruins of the old kirk, in
which, or near by, it is said, St. Boniface, the apostle to Germany
and a legate from the Church of Rome, in the eighth century
preached and planned to neutralize the work of the Irish monks in
favor of British uniformity, and by means of conformity with Rome.
Here also are still to be seen some singular examples of ancient
sculptured stone monuments.
In 1107, Alexander I, son of Margaret of England, had a
residence at Invergowrie, which, however, he did not long possess,
for assassination was so much of a pastime with many and a settled
custom with a few in those days, that, after having escaped the dirk
only by a narrow margin, he left Invergowrie, built a church at Scone,
and then turned over the property he left behind him for its support.
I recall that it was at the last of our visits and entertainment at
Invergowrie, which was in 1900, after the ladies had left the dinner
table and the gentlemen adjourned to the billiard-room for a smoke,
the conversation turned on the next European war, and the possible
relations of Great Britain and the United States in the alignment of
friends, foes, allies, and neutrals. One prominent Dundeean
confessed himself not so much exasperated, as hurt, by President
Cleveland’s sharp method of reasserting the Monroe Doctrine, in
regard to the boundary of Venezuela. From our town of Ithaca, the
two scholars, the ex-president of Cornell University and Professor
George Burr, had been summoned to consult archives, rectify
boundaries, and help keep the peace. After the American in Scotland
had emptied his cruse of oil upon the waters, by explaining some of
the ins and outs of American politics, the conversation drifted to
regions across the North Sea—the growth of the Kaiser’s navy, the
salient features of German politics, and the reports, then very direct
from the Fatherland, that the “Kultur” of the twentieth century
required that “England [Great Britain] needed to be taught a lesson.”
The hope was warmly expressed that, in the coming clash,—then
looked for to come before many years,—the sympathy, and even aid,
if necessary, of “the States” would be forthcoming. With American
friendliness and the possession of the coaling-stations of the world, it
was believed that the United Kingdom could withstand the coming
shock and recover triumphantly.
More than once, at these social conferences with Scotsmen, as
well as in the press, I noted the indignation, even anger, expressed,
that in all national affairs it was “England” and “the English” that took
and received the credit for what belonged to the four nations making
up the United Kingdom. The claim was for a more liberal use of
“Britain” and “British” in place of “England” and “English.” Both
Scotch and Irish, to say nothing of the Welsh, resent the assumption
that “England” is the British Empire. In a word, the great need of the
language used in the British archipelago is a common name for the
federated four countries and for all the subjects of the Crown. Here is
an instance of the priceless value of right words. The absence of an
acceptable comprehensive term is a real impediment to patriotism
and an obstacle to perfect union. The fault is in language, not in the
human spirit. The situation reinforces the argument that “words are
things.”
We Americans can throw no stones. Canadians, Mexicans, the
southern republics below Panama, all challenge our right to the
monopoly of “America” and “Americans.” Language lags behind
events.
When at last, in 1914, the great war did come, and the storm
broke, no part of the Empire responded more quickly, generously,
fully than Scotland, nor did any courage or sacrifice exceed that of
the Scots; yet, not only was the credit usually given to “England,” but
even the prayer of hate, made in Germany, chose “England” as its
butt. Yet while Scottish valor and sacrifice and Irish courage and
free-will offerings of life on the field and waves are unstinted, who
can blame the poet, nay, who does not say “amen,” to his lines, in
the Glasgow “Herald,” written in the closing days of 1915?

“The ‘English’ navy in its might


Is out upon the main;
The ‘English’ army—some in kilts—
Is at the front again;
The dogs of war are loosened
And gathering to the fray,
But the British ships and British troops—
I wonder where are they?
“When blood has flowed like water,
And ’midst the heaps of slain
Lie stalwart Scot and brawny Celt
Who victory help to gain,
The glory will be ‘England’s,’
Like every other thing;
’Tis ‘England’ this and ‘England’ that—
Flag, navy, army, king.

“Still let Scots do their duty


In Britain’s day of war;
A greater cause than ‘England’s’
Nerves Scottish hearts by far.
For Britain and the empire
We Scotsmen draw the sword,
And not like hired mercenaries,
As if ‘England’ were our lord.”

During this trial of the soul of a nation, in the wager of battle, to


decide whether truth is worth living and dying for and whether
solemn compacts are as torn paper—we catch a glimpse of a great
part of the nation at prayer.
It is in St. Giles’s Church, Edinburgh, that the General Assembly
of the Church of Scotland holds its annual sessions and the function
is made decidedly spectacular, as is supposed to become a State
Church. For two hundred and twenty-five years, the meeting has
been held without interruption. In the brilliant procession, the Lord
High Chancellor, as representative of the king, takes part, and
usually a regiment of the garrison troops adds color and a show of
worldly might to the spectacle. Few elements appropriate to the day
are omitted, for this is the august assembly of the “Church
established by law.” In the spring of 1914, the full strength of the
Cameron Highlanders was paraded.
FOR THE WHOLE WORLD
(The Edinburgh Conference of Missions)
But in 1915, after the gates of hell had been fully opened on the
Continent, swallowing up, it is said, from one regiment, by death and
wounds, no fewer than nine hundred of the Cameron Highlanders,
leaving but one hundred unwounded survivors, the meeting was
more than usual like a gathering of the ministers of the Prince of
Peace. The king’s representative on this occasion, the Earl of
Aberdeen, was dressed in a soldier’s service uniform of khaki and
the military escort as guard of honor was a corps of cadets. The
interior phenomena were equally impressive. Men cared little for
debate and turned constantly to prayer and intercession. The high-
water mark of interest in the proceedings was on Foreign Mission
Day. Then a strong note of optimism appeared regarding that work,
in comparison with the depression felt as to other interests of the
Church. It was in Edinburgh that the world-wide conference upon
missions was held in 1913, whose influence is still felt throughout the
whole earth.
Perhaps some thoughts turned to the words of the Almighty to
Job, “And the Lord turned the captivity of Job, when he prayed for
his friends.”
Be this as it may, can we not all abide in hope that the ultimate
history of “Bonnie Scotland” will follow that of Job—“Also the Lord
gave Job twice as much as he had before.”
CHAPTER XXV
AMERICA’S DEBT TO SCOTLAND

It is a tradition, rather than a fact, that we Americans—not of


Canada—of the United States of America are an English people.
The burden of popular and uncritical historiography is responsible for
this notion. Because of the overpowering influence of law and
language, and because our most direct relations, in war and in
peace, have been with Great Britain, it is assumed that we are both
an English people and an English nation.
The result has been confusion at home, prolonged
misunderstanding in Europe, and injustice to those who have
contributed generously their blood and energies to the making and
the saving of the nation.
Without the initial and formative elements, now absorbed into our
national composite, from the Dutch, Huguenot, German, Scottish,
Welsh, Irish, and Iroquois, the existence and history of the United
States are, to the unprejudiced mind, inconceivable. In this chapter
we propose to glance at the debt we owe to Scotland.
In point of time, in the unshackling of the human spirit, and in the
attainment of mental and spiritual freedom, we have shown how
Scotland led Europe; first in revolt against kings and prelates, and
then in the initiative of the constructive principles of democracy. The
spirit of Scottish history, of which Robert Burns’s poem, “A man’s a
man for a’ that,” is the epitome, and the general education of the
common people do in themselves alone show how different were
and are the Scottish from the English people.
This early Scottish influence, conveyed through both theory and
example, was especially potent with the founders of New England,
the Puritans in Old England, and the Pilgrims who, in the Dutch
Republic, received tremendous reinforcement.
In philosophy—which is greater than armies or navies—to no
other land or people were the beginners of the American nation more
indebted than to the Scotch. This may be said, not only in the
departments of political and ecclesiastical science, but equally so in
the domain of pure thought. The Scottish philosophy of realism and
common sense dominated largely our infant colleges. It swayed the
thinking and shaped the conduct of our public men in bar and pulpit.
It was translated into action by the leaders of the Revolution.
So long as the Scots were able to hold their own against the
tyrannical Stuart kings of England, and even while they were pouring
by the tens of thousands into Ulster, making a new nation in northern
Ireland,—the old land of the Scots,—there were but few emigrants,
from Scotland direct, to the Atlantic Coast colonies. Even these were
sporadic and mostly by way of Holland; but when the oppressive
economic measures of Parliament ruined the Scotch-Irish industries,
there began an emigration of people of Scottish birth or descent
which numerically excelled any previous colonial accession to
America.
Whereas, the emigration from England to New England, mostly
between 1630 and 1650, had added but twenty thousand souls to
the northeastern seacoast region, the Scotch-Irish migration, lasting
fifty years, added fifty thousand hardy, intelligent, thrifty people who
settled in the interior and on the frontiers. They not only served as a
barrier against the savages, but they developed the soil of the
valleys and built their towns on the highlands and the watersheds.
After the accession of the Hanoverian dynasty and the breaking-
up of the old economic and social conditions in Scotland, there
poured into America a flood of Scottish islanders, Lowlanders, and
Highlanders from Scotland direct, numbering tens of thousands.
From this multitude of the Scots and Scotch-Irish, scattering widely
and settling mostly on the frontiers and developing virgin land, came
forth, at the call of the Continental Congress, one third of the
American army of freedom in the Revolution.
Throughout our history none have excelled these lovers of
ordered freedom in safeguarding human rights and in illustrating
loyalty to moral convictions and public duty. The number of able men
of Scottish descent who have filled the highest offices of honor and
trust in the learned professions, in pulpit, bar, bench, in chairs of
science, or as governors, presidents, officers of the army and navy,
and in every line of human achievement, is not excelled, if equalled,
by those of any other stock in the American blend of nationalities.
Yet the total value of such an addition to the resources of
manhood, for the making of the future American commonwealth,
cannot be estimated in mathematics only. In education almost every
classical school and colonial college in the South was established by
these people. In character and abilities—trained and nourished by
education, morals, and religion—the Scotch-Irish were excelled by
no other people.
In our land—new birth of the ages—the names of the clans and
of individuals who bear Caledonian names do not only call up
scenes in Scotland’s history, but do forcibly emphasize our blessings
of peace after long strife. One of the earliest Scottish stories I
remember was of a Grant and a Macpherson, who met one day
upon a log spanning a chasm. As neither would give way to the
other, their dirks settled the controversy by subtracting two from the
population of the Highlands. In our soldier days, it was delightful to
see, under the same flag and battling for the same Union, two
generals—the ever-victorious James Macpherson and
“Unconditional Surrender” Grant. Was it the Inverness-born
Macpherson, or the Kentuckian MacClernand, who uttered the
prophecy concerning the then closed Mississippi Valley, that “the
men of the West would, with their swords, hew their way to the
Gulf”? In any event, what would the North have done had all the men
of Scottish descent been subtracted from the hosts under Grant?
Indeed, what would American history and the reality of to-day be if all
the Scotsmen who took part were eliminated from the story? Even in
Civil War days it was largely the descendants of Scots who made the
Union sentiment in East Tennessee and created West Virginia.
The long discipline of the Scotsmen, resulting in the gifts and
graces of Highlander, Lowlander, and Ulsterman, helped grandly on
American soil to make the great Republic possible. As we have
seen, the tens of thousands of Scots, emigrating beyond the Atlantic,
located themselves largely along the line and at the post of danger—
among the mountains they loved, on the frontier and the great
American highlands, the Appalachian chain, from Maine to Alabama.
In the infant days of our nation, when the vital struggle was between
savagery and civilization, the Scottish-American frontiersman, alert,
brave, tenacious, was the man for the era. He would never say “die”
nor give up, while life remained in him. His record, both with the
Continentals, in the War of Independence, and in the Union army
during the conflict between the States, is a shining one. In the
Confederate forces, from 1861 to 1865, the one body of men,
selected by that best judge of humanity, Professor N. S. Shaler, of
Harvard, as embodying the finer human qualities that shine brightest
in adversity, was a regiment composed almost wholly of
descendants of men of Scottish stock.
Even to hear casually some of these Scottish names, so
interesting to us in history, sets ringing the bells of memory, as when
Joseph Henry, at Albany, first sent a thrill through miles of wire to
make sound—which Morse, without electrical research or profound
knowledge, turned into writing, and thus won the world’s glory. Even
the commonplace names of neighbors, as our Scottish hosts in
Dundee, Invergowrie, or Newport-on-Tay mentioned them offhand,
set our imagination on the dance or to rambling to the ends of the
earth.
At home, too, do we not meet at school, in business, at garden
parties, or in church, girls and boys, friends and acquaintances, or
do we not hear of or see eminent men and women who bear these
their ancestral names most modestly? Immediately, a carillon of
associations, usually sweet, with “auld lang syne” sounds, fills the
secret chambers of memory. “Cochrane” may bring up a rosy face
and the laughing eyes of a pretty Vassar girl; “Macfarland” limns in
imagination a schoolmate or army comrade; “Cameron” pictures a
fellow of infinite wit; “MacIntosh” suggests eloquence in the pulpit.
Others recall the halls of Congress, or the seats of executives, or the
council board, business experiences, or clerical scenes, or pageants.
It has the sensation almost of a shower bath, or crash towel friction,
to see in court or pulpit, at clinic, or amid scenes of gentleness,
people who bear ancestral names of once slashing swordsmen, or
fellows of old famous for lifting cattle, or for defying the king’s writ, of
whom we have read often in poetry and romance. How the centuries
soften sharp outlines in the enchantment of distance!
It is invidious, if not mildly dangerous, to single out names. Yet
with one we close our sketch of “Bonnie Scotland,” choosing for
praise the dead, with no living line of descendants. Hepburn, for
example, instead of being associated in our minds with dirks and
poison, caste squabbles, or pitched battles,—after which “the turf
looked red,”—calls up the mild face of a saintly soul who illustrated
the Scripture promise of long life because of lips that refrained from
speaking guile and of hands that ever healed. Who that is at home in
Scottish history but has not infrequently run across the name of
Hepburn—which reproduces in its vocables, not only a Scottish
streamlet, but a line of mighty men? Who, also, that knows the story
of the making of modern Japan but has heard of the beloved
physician of Yokohama, known among the native-born as Kun-shi—
the sage, super-man, gentleman by eminence, who spent his life in
unselfish devotion to his fellow men, as a Christian healer, scholar,
lexicographer, and philanthropist. In the midst of fame and fortune
won by medical practice in the metropolitan city of New York, James
Curtis Hepburn turned his back on these, to uplift in body and spirit
the people of Japan, when just opened from hermitage to modern
life. In the days of sailing ships and at the seaport where the
selvages of two civilizations met, I saw him, day by day for years,
with his healing touch dispensing medicine and cheer. He lived to
make the dictionary which bridged the linguistic gulf between Orient
and Occident, to translate the Eternal Word, to raise up hundreds of
effective physicians, and, at ninety, to be honored by His Imperial
Majesty the Mikado with a decoration, and to live, in serene old age,
a benediction to his neighbors, until within five years of a century. In
him I saw America honored and the nobler Scotland incarnated.
