Originally published in 1907 as number seven in the Cambridge Tracts in Mathematics and Mathematical Physics series, this book provides a concise account regarding the theory of optical instruments. The text was written with the aim of leading 'directly from the first elements of Optics to those parts of the subject which are of greatest importance to workers with optical instruments'. This book will be of value to anyone with an interest in optics, physics and mathematics.
