\ certain Somerset vicar made him
self notorious by the vigor with which
in the seventeenth century he inyeigh-
ed against the use of the newly invent
ed optic glasses, since they perverted
vision and made all things appear in
an unnatural and therefore Il false
light. Microscopes and telescopes, with
their array of lenses, he declared to be
impostors, since man could not see
so we'll with two pairs of spectacles as
with one. Some asserted it to be sinful
to assist the eyes, which were adapted
by Providence to the capacity of the
individual, whether good, bad or indif-
ferent. 1T was argued that society at
large would become demoralized by the
use of spectacles. They would give
one man an unfair advantage over his
fellow and every man an unfair adj
vantage over every woman. who could
not be expected on aesthetic and intel
lectual grounds to adopt the practice"
