this_o glass_n over_o those_o wherein_n nothing_o but_o glass_n be_v employ_v be_v first_o that_o the_o concave_a looking-glass_n though_o of_o a_o spheric_a figure_n gather_v much_o better_a the_o

of_o hyperbolic_a or_o elliptic_a glass_n which_o will_v require_v great_a overture_n i_o reckon_v for_o a_o three_o advantage_n that_o by_o the_o reflection_n of_o a_o metalline_a look_a glass_n
