But the earliest record we have of white people making glasses is from the end of the Thirteenth Centura, by an Italian priest named Sylvinia ArmattL He simply states that convex glasses are found useful for old people when reading. The science of the sabject was not understood. What actual effect glasses had on the eve nobody knew, and few caif J.

These combinations run into so many thousands of different kind*, that it is impossible for any firm to atocfc them. Tier hare to i>e made when required.
