Alro * Smoe , F . R . S . SecondJEditioau Price 5 s ; Longmaa and Co . TtoSvery interesting little work is addressed to the general public as well as to- the medical profession , and GOritains va ^ luaDle matter in the form of advice to all persons who may suffer frbm any of the manifold defects and diseases ofc . ithe eye ; especially va . luable advice to all who use or are abonrt to use spectacles And other glasses . ;; and , lastly , matter interesting to the philosophical inquirer . There is also an account of the stereoscope and hinocular . perspective affixed to this , edition . Plates and . diagrams increase the usefulness of the book .

    "Why with two eyes we have only single vision has always been a vexed problem . The revelations of the stereoscope , which show that in each visual picture there are two distitict"images seen at different angles , destroy the once popular explanation which attributed the singleness of vision to thedecussation of the optic nerves ; if , indeed , such proof were necessary in presence of the fact we have more than once insisted on , of men having but one sound with two ears , one acent with two nostrils , one touch with two hands , in all which cases no decussation of the nervea can be adduced . MJr . Smee has offered a solution of the problem which we can by no meaiw accept . He says " that we naeutally know that two objects cannot be in . the same place at the same time ; and therefore if the two images formed in the eyes are both to our reason in the sajne spot , it of necessity happens that avc see but one ,

    and not two objects . " That no such metaphysical explanation can be valid may easily be shown . Piro two pistols at precisely the same instant , and although reason tells you that there are two sounds , sensation will tell you of but one . In an orchestra , if the instruments are perfect in tune and time , your reason is perfectly aware of a multiplicity of instruments , but each set ([ say the violins ) produces but one sensation . But let the pistols not bo fired simultaneously , let the violins bo inexact in time or tune , and then you have two or naoro sounds . The explanation we would offer is this : two simultaneous and similar sonsations are necessarily wiergod into one , their similarity and skuultuneity prevents our distinguishing any difference , and unless we distinguish Home difference we cannot have moro than one sensation .

    When an object falls upon two eyes , it produces two similar images simultaneously ; when tho two hands or the two fingers touch one object , the sensation derived from each . hand being similar and the two being simultaneous , we only feel one object . In the well known experiment of feeling the tip of your nose with crossed fingers and thereby receiving the impression of two tips , the simultaneity and preeinc similarity of the impressions are destroyed by pressure on the crossed finger . So likewise in the experiment of Boeing an object double by slightly pressing the eye from its plucu .
