Abstract
THIS useful book on geometrical optics has been enlarged and improved by the addition of two new chapters. One of these deals with the microscope considered as being more or less typical of optical instruments, and the other treats of various subjects pertaining rather to physical and physiological optics yet having a bearing on the plan of the book as a whole. As in the earlier text, the historical notes are well done and add greatly to the interest of the volume.
