Introduction to physiological optics.

Experimental optics; being a series of simple and brilliant experiments with light, and how to make all kinds of optical instruments.

Soaring through air to find the bright abode, The empyreal palace of the thundering God, We on thy pinions can surpass the wind, And leave the rolling universe behind, From star to star the mental optics rove, Measure the skies, and range the realms above, There in one view we grasp the mighty whole, Or with new worlds amaze the unbounded soul.

But to the peculiar optics which abound in these United States it may be necessary to show the entire picture.

I see her trundling her mop, and contemplating the whirling phenomenon through blurred optics; but to term her "a poor outcast" seems as much as to say that poor Susan was no better than she should be,which I trust was not what you meant to express.

So, "by way of getting even," he made violent love to all the pretty eyes he met in his commercial travels"to have something to think about after he should have found favor in the strabismic optics of Miss Mercer," he observed, disrespectfully.

By these things my thoughts were turned to accurate optics, and I read with care Rutherford's Lectures, which my uncle possessed.

I was watched by glasses on the opposite side of the lake, and by glasses, too, that must have had very distorted optics.

He wrote many papers on geometrical optics and on molecular physics, but his great claim to remembrance is that he first suggested, "on the basis of Faraday's law of Electrolysis, that an absolute unit of quantity of electricity exists in that amount of it which attends each chemical bond or valency and gave the name, now generally adopted, of electron to this small quantity."
