<HEAD>PROPOSALS, For Sale by SUBSCRIPTION, Of Four Sorts of Curious Per&s;pective-Gla&s;&s;es, NEWLY INVENTED;</HEAD>
<P>VERY convenient for Ladies and Gentlemen, to take a view of any Per&s;ons, at the <HI>Park,</HI> the <HI>Play-Hou&s;es</HI> and &s;uch other Pub|lick Places; though for a great while, or very often, yet mode&s;tly, <HI>without any Im|pertinent Staring upon them;</HI> no other Per|&s;ons, even if they had got the&s;e new Gla&s;&s;es, being able to di&s;cover, whom the Spectator looks at.</P>
<P>EACH of the&s;e Per&s;pective-Gla&s;&s;es, being fitted into a Ca&s;e made of Metal, is &s;hort and commodious to be held in the Hand, like ordinary Opera-Gla&s;&s;es. But by the help of this new Contrivance, the Spectator may (<HI>though he &s;eems to look forwards,</HI> upwards, downwards or to|wards the middle, between both) with|out changing the Situation of his Eye, &s;ee the Objects that are at his right or left Hand, upwards, downwards or between both. He may likewi&s;e <HI>(when he is &s;uppo&s;ed to look towards his right or left Hand)</HI> with|out moving his Head or Eye, &s;ee the Ob|jects, which are before or behind him.</P>
<P>THE Fir&s;t &s;ort of the&s;e Gla&s;&s;es, in a Ca&s;e Two Inches long, makes the Objects appear as they are &s;een by the naked Eye, without magnifying or dimini&s;hing them. It is &s;erviceable to &s;uch as are not Short-&s;ighted, <HI>to take a view of others, with|out being ob&s;erved by any.</HI></P>
<P>THE Second &s;ort makes the Objects appear more di&s;tinct, but &s;omewhat le&s;s than Life, and &s;erves in&s;tead of a Con|cave-Gla&s;s, for &s;uch as are <HI>Shot-&s;ighted.</HI> It is as &s;hort as the fir&s;t &s;ort.</P>
<P>THE Third &s;ort, being Three Inches and an half in length, <HI>makes the Objects appear as big and as near again,</HI> as they are &s;een, without the help of Per&s;pective-Gla&s;&s;es, or even with the help of the common Concave-Gla&s;s. It is proper for all &s;ort of <HI>Short-&s;ighted</HI> People, for whom it is often difficult, to find a hollow-gla&s;s exactly fitting: 'Tis al&s;o u&s;eful for &s;uch as have <HI>a good Sight,</HI> but cannot &s;ee very di&s;tinctly tho&s;e Objects that are twice as far di&s;tant, as the bare Eye requires.</P>
<P>THE Fourth is in length Four Inches, and <HI>repre&s;ents the Objects as big and as near again, as the Third &s;ort does;</HI> and &s;uch Objects as are di&s;tant from the Eye three times as far, as 'tis requi&s;ite to &s;ee di&s;tinctly, are thereby made to appear clearer, near|er, and as big as they would be &s;een, if they were twice nearer to the naked Eye.</P>
<P>SOME <HI>other Proprieties of the&s;e Gla&s;&s;es,</HI> would be to long to be mentioned here.</P>
<P>THE Inventor intends to Sell by Sub&s;cription, at lea&s;t One Hundred of every &s;ort of the&s;e Per&s;pective-Gla&s;&s;es; He may therefore be &s;poken with <GAP DESC="blank" EXTENT="1 span"> <HI>day</HI> and <GAP DESC="blank" EXTENT="1 span"> <HI>day</HI> from <GAP DESC="blank" EXTENT="1 span"> to <GAP DESC="blank" EXTENT="1 span"> of the Clock, at <GAP DESC="blank" EXTENT="1 span"> <HI>Coffee-Hou&s;e,</HI> <GAP DESC="blank" EXTENT="1 span"> or <GAP DESC="blank" EXTENT="1 span"> <HI>day</HI> and <GAP DESC="blank" EXTENT="1 span"> <HI>day</HI> from <GAP DESC="blank" EXTENT="1 span"> to <GAP DESC="blank" EXTENT="1 span"> at <GAP DESC="blank" EXTENT="1 span"> <HI>Hou&s;e,</HI> <GAP DESC="blank" EXTENT="1 span"> and at <ADD REND="onBlank">Mr. Dillon's, next door to y^e White Hart, about y^e middle of Long-acre:</ADD> where <HI>Sub&s;criptions</HI> are taken in, and <HI>Propo&s;als</HI> may be had, <ADD REND="onBlank">from 5. to 8. at night.</ADD></P>
<P>EVERY Sub&s;criber to pay down half a Guinea for each Per&s;pective-Gla&s;s, at the time of Sub&s;cription, and half a Guinea, when he receiveth it, which will be as &s;oon as the Number of Sub&s;criptions is full.</P>
<P>HE that Sub&s;cribes for Nine, to have <HI>a Tenth Gratis.</HI></P>
<P>THE Niceties in the Form and in the Di&s;po&s;ition of the&s;e Per&s;pective-Ca&s;es, as well as the Clearne&s;s, true Figure and Pro|portion of the Gla&s;&s;es belonging unto them, will prove too difficult and chargeable to &s;uch as &s;hall endeavour, after having got &s;ome Model by Sub&s;cription, to <HI>imitate it Imperfectly, to no purpo&s;e.</HI> The Inventor de&s;igns to &s;hew the way of trying the Goodne&s;s of his Per&s;pective-Gla&s;&s;es; and intends to publi&s;h &s;ome other u&s;eful In|ventions and Improvements, if this be well accepted.</P>

<P>CURIEUSES &amp; tr&egrave;s-com|modes pour ceux qui au <HI>Parc,</HI> &agrave; l'<HI>Opera,</HI> &amp; en tels autres endroits publics, veulent <HI>voir fixement, ou m&eacute;me &s;ouvent, les Autres: Sans qu' il paroi&s;&s;e aucun de&s;&s;ein de les envi&s;ager;</HI> les Autres ne pouvant jamais decouvrit, o&ugrave; le Spectateur regarde, quand m&eacute;me ils auroient de ces nouvelles Lunettes.</P>
<P>CHACUNE de ces Lunettes, &euml;tant mi&s;e dans des tuiaux faits de Metal, e&s;t courte &amp; peut &s;e tenir commodement dans la main, comme les Lunettes ordi|naires, u&s;it&eacute;es &agrave; la Comedie. Mais par le moyen de cette invention, le Spectateur pourra (quand il &s;emble aux Autres, qu' il regarde <HI>par devant;</HI> tout droit, en haut ou en bas) &s;ans changer la Situation de &s;on oeil, voir les Objets, qui &s;ont &agrave; &s;a main droite, ou &agrave; &s;a gauche; en haut, en bas ou entre deux. De m&eacute;me (quand les Autres croyent, qu' il regarde <HI>vers &s;a droite</HI> ou <HI>vers &s;a gauche</HI>) il pourra voir les Objets, qui &s;ont derriere ou devant lui. Ces Lunettes ont beaucoup d'autres propriet&eacute;s, dont on ne parle point ici, pour eviter d<GAP DESC="illegible" EXTENT="1 letter">&eacute;tre long.</P>
<P>LA premiere &s;orte de ces Lunettes, mi&s;e dans un ruiau long de 2 pouces, re|pre&s;ente les Objets, comme ils paroi&s;&s;ent &agrave; l'oeil, &s;ans aucune augmentation ou dimi|nution optique.

<P>LA &s;econde, au&s;&s;i courte que la pre|miere, fait voir les Objets, plus claire|ment &amp; un peu plus petits, qu' ils ne le &s;ont naturellement. Elle &s;ert au lieu des Lunettes Concaves, pour ceux qui ont la <HI>veue courte.</HI></P>
<P>LA troi&s;i&eacute;me, longue de 3&frac12; pouces, <HI>fait paroitre les Objets, une fois plus grands &amp; une fois plus proches;</HI> qu'ils ne paroi&s;&s;ent, &s;ans le &s;ecours de l'optique, ou m&eacute;me par les Lunettes Concaves.

<P>CHACUN, qui Sou&s;crira, payera d'abord une demi Guin&eacute;e pour chaque Lunette, &amp; une demi Guin&eacute;e davantage, quand on lui en livrera une, c'e&s;t &agrave; dire, quand le nombre propo&s;&euml; des Sou&s;cri|ptions &s;era rempli.</P>

<P>LE raffinement de la forme &amp; de la Di&s;po&s;ition des tuiaux, de meme que la Perfection des Verres, leur figure &amp; leur proportion, donneront des difficult&eacute;s &agrave; ceux, qui voudront tacher, de les <HI>imiter en quelque manie<GAP DESC="illegible" EXTENT="1 letter">e moins parfaite,</HI> qui leur deviendra <HI>inutile,</HI> aprez beaucoup d'em|baras &amp; de depen&s;es; c'e&s;t pourquoi l'in|venteur, en delivrant &s;es Lunettes, fera conn&ocirc;itre leur Perfection; qui &s;e propo&s;e, de publier d'autres inventions utiles, &s;i celle-ci e&s;t bien receu&euml;.</P>
