Excerpt from Elementary Treatise on Optics: Containing All the Requisite Propositions Carried to First Approximations; With the Construction of Optical Instruments, for the Use of Junior University Students
In the present First Part of Geometrical Optics, the theory of optical instruments will be discussed, by taking the propositions to first approximations only; and in the Second Part the proposi tions will be discussed to second approximations, and the more corrected forms of some of the instruments treated of. This method involves the advantages of a more elementary treatise in the First Part, and a higher one in combining the two Parts.
