fight by die water was equal to that by the ears ;
that is, till the objeCt, tiro conliderably refrafied, by the excels of the refraCtion of the water, appeared neverthelefs quite free from any colours proceeding from the different refrangibility of light anti, as near as I could then meafure, the refraaion by the water was about of that by the glafs. Indeed I was not very cartel in taking the meafurcs, hecaufe my bufinefs was not at that time about tbe propor- tions, fo much as to thew, that the divergency of she colours, by different fublitanots,, was by no names in proportion to the refraftionsi and that there was pollibihty of refraetion wnhout any divergency of the light at all. Having, about the beginning of the year tru, tried their experiments, 1 loon after fet about grind- ing tekfcopic objed-glaffes upon the new principles of refraftions, which I had gathered from them which objed-glaiks were compounded of two fphe- deal glair.. with water between them. There &firs I had the fatisfklion to find, w I had exFcaed, free from the errors arifing from the different refrangi- bility of light : for the refraftions, by which rays were brought to a focus, were every-where the differences between two contrary refraelions, in the farne manner, and in tbe Fame proportions, as in the experiment with the wedges. flowerer, the images formed at the foci of there objeCi-glalks woo ftill very far from being fo di- Itintit as might have been expeded from the removal of fo great a difturbance and yet it was not very difficult to gads at the teat" when I confidered, that the radii of the fphwital lichees of theft glaffes Intr.
