Spectacles were invented six hundred
years ago. The use Of glass to aid the
sight Of defective eyes l., however, much
older. Nero looked through a concave
glass in watching the glsdiatorial games,
and many other historical men Of his day
were dependent upon similar devices for
lengthening their sight. Till the latter part
of the 18th century only the single glass
was in use. In 1890 the double glass was
invented. some say by Salvino dsgli Ar.
mali; others. by the monk, Alexander Of
Spain. In the fourteenth century spscta.
cles were used quite frequently BY the
very wealthy and high born, although
they were still so scarce that they were
bequeathed in wills with the elaborate
care that marked the disposition of .
feudal estate. The holy Antonius of
Padua, who preached to the fishes when
men refused to hear him, gave to the
poor, according to the legend, not only
his clothes, but also his spectacles.
The first spectacles, which were very
expensive, were made in Italy. Some.
what later the manufacture of cheaper
glasses sprang up in Holland, and il
spread late in the fourteenth century to
Germany. Nurnberg and Rathonow &C.
quired fame for their glasses between
1400 and 1900 For many years glasses
were used only as means Of aiding bad
eyes. First in Spain appeared the fashion
Of wearing glasses merely for the sake Of
wearing them. 1t spread rapidly to the
rest OF the continent, and brought about
the transformation Of the old 18th cen.
tury spectacles into eyeglasses, and event.
ually into the monocle, "the cosmopoli.
