First edition of one of Euler’s rarest books; his writings on optics were widely known and important in the physics of the 18th century. In the Dioptricae, Euler “laid the foundations of the calculation of optical systems.”–D.S.B., IV, p. 482. Vol. I contains Euler’s views on the relative merits of the emission and undulatory theories of light. The second volume deals with the construction of telescopes and the third with microscopes.
