vision, and more ease and comfort to the eye. - Beside these
advantages. I wouid also mention vour improvement in the

to shut on those rays or light which cannot be brought

I hive examined and am now using a pair ef the crvst inl
ine, miniseus glasses, purchased of Prof. Gedeon. They are
constructed upon strictly philosophical principles, and, fn m
several considerations, are not surpassed, it equalled, I y
any I have ever seen..
The concavo-convex form of the lenses resembling the
anterior arrangement of the human eye,' collects a larger
number of rays than could be conveyed upon the ret. ne
from ordinary glasses of the same focal power, and thus in
creases the distinctness of vision. The size of the glasses,
also, gives a greater field ot vision with, less muscular, ac
tion. In short, the whole arrangement seems admirably
calculated to promote ease, and distinctness of vision, to
E reserve the healthy function of that invaluable organ, the
uman eye. H
