A new and compendious system of optics. : In three parts, viz. Part I. Catoptrics, or the doctrine of vision by rays reflected from mirrours, or polished surfaces. Part II. Dioptrics, or the theory of vision by rays refracted through lenses, or transparent substances. Part III. A practical description of a great number of the most useful optical instruments and machines, ... The whole ... illustrated by a great variety of copper-plate figures, as big as the life
