Abstract
PERHAPS some of your readers may be able to inform me whether there exists in English or French a work on geometrical optics, in which the author applies himself thoroughly to explain the optical (not the mechanical) construction of telescopes and microscopes. Works like those by Parkinson and Polter stop short exactly where the application of theory to the construction of the best instruments begins.
