214pp VG/none First edition in English, printed at the request of the Ministry of Munitions. Editorial sturdy green cloth with bright gilt lettering on front board and spine, spine slightly faded and light foxing on pastedowns and endpapers otherwise a very good, nice copy, crisp and clean. Important work by the Italian scientist Galileo Ferraris, originally published in Italian as The Fundamental Properties of Dioptric Instruments, here translated into English by Oscar Faber. From the review which apperared in Nature, the scientific journal: "The original of this translation was published by Prof. Galileo Ferraris, of Turin, in 1876. As a copy of this original could apparently not be procured, the English translation was made from a German one by Lippich, which appeared in 1879. At the time of its appearance the book unquestionably marked a great advance in the treatment of its subject, and well deserved the extremely favourable review with which Abbe honoured the German translation in the first volume of the Zeitschrift für Instrumentenkunde."

Note IV Simmetry and Asymmetry in Optical Images (M Herzberger) 9pp Errata 6pp. Classic and important treatise by the German/American physicist Rudolf Karl Lüneburg, based on the course given in the Summer 1944 at the Brown University Advanced Instruction and Research in Mechanics. Mimeographed pages, including two appendixes plus the supplementary notes mainly by Max Herzberger (Kodak Research Laboratories). The lens named after the author that has found several applications in microwave and millimeter-wave technology is for the first time described here. Luneburg published very little of his researches and this work had a restricted circulation at that time; it was published twenty years later by the University of California Press and reprinted more recently, recognised as one of the most important work in mathematical optics of the XX century.

388 pages including bibliography and index. A unique technical handbook, bringing together topics that are generally not available to the non-specialist, bridging the gulf between novice and advanced astrophotographer. Includes detailed discussion of topics usually ignored in a general survey, such as photographic optics, instrument design, techniques at the telescope, films and developers, advanced darkroom methods, sensitometry and film hypersensitization. Emphasis is placed upon the understanding of basic photographic principles and on professional laboratory methods, encouraging readers to conduct their own experiments and make contributions to the science of photography. Chapters include: A Brief History of Astronomical Photography; Instrumentation; Techniques at the Telescope; Theoretical Points of Interest; Sensitometry; Black-and-White Photography; Color Photography; Introductory Darkroom Techniques; Advanced Darkroom Techniques; Hypersensitizing Techniques; Deep-Sky Astrophotography; High-Resolution Photography (including a selection of fine astronomical photography); Selected Topics; plus appendices. Moderate quantity of library markings. Front free endpaper removed. Only moderate wear. A solid copy with dust jacket in protective clear mylar cover. Book
From the personal library of prominent optical lens designer Professor Charles Gorrie Wynne, FRS, who had this large work bound into two black buckram volumes in 1953, per bookbinder's receipt laid-in. Bookplates affixed by Dr. Wynne's family inside each front board further evince this provenance. [3], 6 (errata), xvii, 213 + 188, iii, 38 (supp. 1), 7 (appendix I), 6 (appendix II), 22 (supp. 2), 8 (supp. 3), 9 (supp. 4) pp. "These notes cover a course in Optics given at Brown University in the summer of 1944." - from Acknowledgement. Supplementary note on Electron Optics provided by Mr. Blank. Three supplementary notes provided by Dr. Herzberger. "The author's idea of treating geometrical optics as a special limiting case of wave optics has never before been carried out in so much detail. His treatment of diffraction optics is an important step forward. Highly recommended as a source of valuable information. Herzberger's first supplement is probably the best succinct presentation of electronic optics so far published in any language." - Bull. Amer. Math. Soc., Vol 51, #11. Bindings intact. Light exterior wear. Glossy buckram finish has faded unevenly resulting in a moderately mottled finish. Bit of ink writing atop front free endpaper of each volume. Minor insect damage to fore-edge of last few pages in Volume 1. One-inch tape repair to bottom of last page in Volume 2. Mimeographed contents moderately age-toned. Minor foxing to endpapers. Book

ENVOI signé de l'auteur à Émile Combes (1835-1921), membre de l'Institut ; il entreprit des études de médecine à Paris et soutient une thèse sur les Considérations contre l'hérédité des maladies en 1868. Il s'illustra par la suite dans la carrière politique, sous les présidences de Loubet et de Poincaré. Rare édition originale de cet ouvrage très approfondi sur la vision binoculaire et les instruments d'optiques ; l'ophtalmoscope binoculaire, invention de l'auteur (p. 674 et suiv.), Marc-Antoine "Félix" Giraud-Teulon (1816-1887), y est décrit pour la première fois. L'ophtalmoscope de Giraud-Teulon, consistait en un un miroir concave de 45mm de diamètre, avec deux prismes à l'arrière se rencontrant sur leurs angles aigus et deux prismes variables fixés du côte de l'observateur, l'un ayant une surface plane, l'autre convexe. Nachet emprunta son principe pour la fabrication son propre ophtalmoscope binoculaire. De par son utilisation peu commode, l'objet rencontra peu de succès : il sera de nouveau envisagé plusieurs années après, par Charles Schepens ("Un nouvel ophtalmoscope binoculaire pour l'examen du décollement de la rétine", Bulletin de la Société belge d'ophtalmologie, 1945). Bon exemplaire, non rogné. Hirsch II, 759. Schett, The Ophtalmoscope, p. 172 et suiv

In view of the dramatic extension of the use of zoom lenses in television, in motion picture photography, in amateur photography, and in microscopy, it should be of interest to a very wide audience indeed. Mr. Clark's survey of the designs and their principles will come as a useful guide to present choice and future requirements.
