T4:ese celebrated Glasses deserve to be particularly recommended for their density and transparency for, .as Spectacles are designed to remedy the defects of ,sight, it is proper that the article of the Lenses are Smade, should be as transparent in its nature, and d the Lenses as perfect in Teir form, as the eye it lself. Prof. Gedeon has accomplished these two great principles by manufacturing his Glasses out of . Scotch Pebble, the only substance analogous to . the humors of 'the eye, and has constructed them r in accordance with the Philosophy of Nature, in :o the peculiar form of a Concave Conex Mirror. a These Spectacles enables persons of weak eye. *ight to pursue the most :ninute employment, either af by day or candle light, never causing that unpleas . ant sensation of giddiness or " Drawing of the Eyea" that Is produced by the common Glasses. The Frames are likewise so constructed tbat the rays of i light may be direeted' through the oentre of the Glasses, to unite correctly upon the retina, and form a perfect picture of the object. Added to the advantages possessed by him of - jong practice ia the Eye InfirmarIes, and under one of the most eminent Oculists, by which he haa ob Ftained a thorough knowledge of the diseases of vis i ion, be has in hi. possession documents from indi Sviduals of rank, conveyinig thu highest testimnoni a ala of approbation.

GEDaoNm having presented his Improved Spectacle Glasses to me, for examination, I cheerfully e herein place at his disposal my opinion in regard to i. them: at So far as I am aware, the use of the Meniscus, is oentirely novel for the purpose to which he has applied i t; but afwr a careful' examination into the merits of the improvement, and much conversation with him in -. relation to it, I can express myself as highly pleased -i with his applicatiren of the principle to the improvement t. of vIsion. His explanation of its advantages, is in accordance .with philosophic principles, and so far as I have examined the subject, meets my approval. The D Glasses are certainly constructed with great care, and u- out of the beat material. n H. F. CA MPBELL. M. D., SProf. of Microscopic Anatomy, &ce., Med. Col. of 4Ga.
