Synopsis
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.

Présentation de l'éditeur
In this third edition of General and Practical Optics 1trust that some of the faults of previous editions will be found remedied. The subject-matter has been revised, condensed, rearranged, and rewritten, to some extent, and considerable fresh matter has been introduced. Although primarily intended as a textbook for candidates for the examination of the Worshipful Company of Spectacle Makers, it is written also as a reference book for those engaged in spectacle work, for other students oi Optics, and as an introduction to the study of more advanced works. In previous editions I acknowledged my indebtedness to Dr. George Lindsay Johnson and to Mr. H. Oscar AV ood. Here again, and to an increased extent, I repeat my recognition of the invaluable co-operation of Mr. Wood in compiling and writing the subject-matter, and in revising and correcting the work. As stated before, I have endeavoured to cover, in this book and in Visual Optics and Sight-T esting, all that is essential for the sight-testing optician. LIONEL LAURANCE.
