Abstract
THE title of this book is somewhat misleading, since in its short compass it covers the essential facts of how we see, and adds many suggestions which are not to be found elsewhere. It consists of three parts: (1) the eye and its defects; (2) the spatial medium-points, lines, directions, optical delusions, surfaces, volumes, stereoscopic relief, and architecture; (3) chromatic transmission-heterochromatic photometry, colour sensations and contrast, colour blindness, and the perception and transmission of colours.
