in the most powerful and brilliant Telescopes, Camp, Race-

of objects viewed through them—of great importance to the

seen a person's countenance three miles and a half distant,
and an object from 16 to 20 miles. They are of larger and all
sizes, with increasing powers accordingly ; while their vary-
