Erratum

ACKNOWLEDGMENT

We are grateful to Sherry Brun who helped tremendously with the translation. The translator has chosen to maintain at least some of the sentences close to their French historical way of writing with the hope that it can still be understood.

Notes

¹Translator’s note: The author is convinced by the quality of the work of Mariotte, who places the main organ of sight in the choroid, see later. De la Hire, however, remains persuaded that the main organ of sight is in the retina.

²As de la Hire cannot consider accommodation.
