Did ever poet image aught so fair, Dreaming in whispering groves, by the hoarse brook; Or prophet, to whose rapture heaven descends...

Страница 49 - A lens is glass ground into such a form, as to collect or disperse the rays of light which pass through it. These are of different shapes, and from thence receive different names.
Страница 61 - If anoto glass, FG, of the same convexity as DE, be placed in the rays at the same distance from the focus, it will refract them so, as that, after going out of it, they will be all parallel...
