Excerpt from The Microscope
The landscape seen inverted in the tranquil surface of the river or lake the ship seen reproduced in like manner in the face of a calm sea our persons, and the objects which surround us, seen in a looking-glass; the clear Vision conferred on weak eyes by one sort of spectacle-glass, and the distinct vision conferred on strong but short-sighted eyes, by another; the apparent enlargement produced by magnifying glasses; the clear view of the scene and its personages afforded by the opera-glass in fine, the mar vellons world of minuteness opened to our view by the microscope, and the sublime spectacle of the remote regions of space, teeming with countless systems of suns and circumvolving worlds, dis played before us by the telescope, are a few, and only a few, of the innumerable things of wonder and interest, to comprehend which is impossible without some knowledge of the manner in which optical images are produced.
As we shall, from time to time, present all these interest ing subjects in the pages of the Museum, we propose now, as an indispensable preliminary, to explain with as much brevity as may be compatible with clearness, the principles upon which the natural and artificial production of Optical images depends.
