Excerpt from An Introductory Treatise on the Nature and Properties of Light, and on Optical Instruments More than two thousand years have passed away since Aristotle, the earliest writer on Optics, whose Treatise has outlived the ravage of time, penned his unsuccessful paper. About fifty years after the celebrated Euclid wrote his in which he maintains that, "Visual rays issue from the eyes in diverging right lines, so as to form a pyramid, or cone, whose vertex is in the eye, and whose base encircles the object we contemplate." In 218, B. C., Archimides flourished; and a few years afterwards Ptolemy Euergetes fixed his great mirror on the tower of the Pharos at Alexandria. In the twelfth century, the celebrated Arabian Philosopher wrote his Treatise; afterwards published under the title of Thesaurus Opticae; and during the three following centuries arose Bacon, Porta, Maurolicus and Kepler. The seventeenth century produced Antonio de Dominis, Harriot, Boyle, Hooke, Grimaldi, Leibnitz, Barrow, - and the pride of England, Sir Isaac Newton.

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.
