Synopsis
Excerpt from Vision, Its Optical Defects and the Adaptation of Spectacles: Embracing, First, Physical Optics; Second, Physiological Optics; Third, Errors of Refraction and Defects of Accommodation, or Optical Defects of the Eye
I have been unable to read the proof-sheets carefully, and for their correction am indebted to Dr. Thomas E. Jenkins for the first part of the work, and for the other parts to Dr. H. Ruschhaupt and W. S. Macrae, Esq.
The drawings on wood for the engravings were supervised by Mr. Samuel L. Fox, of Philadelphia.
To all of those gentlemen, who have so kindly lent me their assistance, I tender my sincere thanks.
