As an illustration we may compare this action with the effect of com-bining, to form an image, part of the picture of an object seen with one eye,with another part as seen by the other. Now a glance at the cut will show usthat the pencils which pass the optical centre are not such as would have metat a single point, for while the angles of the different rays w the lens, with acommon centre, C, are in proportion to each other as their arcs, those formedby prolongation of D G, D^ G, D G toward as refracted rays, are inproportion to each other as their sines.
