These celebrated Glasses deserve to be particularly
recommended for their density and transparency for
as Spectaccs are designed to remedy the defects Of
sight, i, is proper that the article Of the Lenses are
made, should BIZ rs transparent in its nature, and
the Lenses as perfect in their form, as the eye it.
SELF 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
in accordance with the Philosophy Of Nature, in
the peculiar form Of Concaue C0nrez Mirror.

HONE TESTIMONIALS.
~ Ma. GEDEoN having presented his Improved
Spectacle Glasses 10 me, for examination, chsertuly
herein place at his disposal my opinion in regard to
them:
So far as I am aware, the use Of the Meniscus, u
entirely novel for the purpose to which he has applied
it, but afera careful examination into ths merits o
tho improvement, and much conversation with him IN
relation TO it, can express myself as highly pleased
with his application of the principle 10 the improvement
of vision. His explanation of It's advantages, is in
accordance with phlosophc principles and Sd far as
have examined the subject, meets my approval The
Glasses are certainly constructed with great care and

We are using pair of PROF. GEDEoNs Concavo
Convex Glasses, and find them remarkably easy and
hsm, and write for hours' without feeling that un
pleasant sensation of Drawing the Eyes,, which the
common Glasses have done. We donot know whether il
is the superiority Of the material, or the principle on
which they arc ground but say, conscentUusly
that they are the best Glasses We ever had.
