If the rays of light proceeding from an objectbe made to strike into a mass of glass with a concave surface,the obliquity with which they impinge upon the surface, beingthe reverse of the convex surface, they are not made to con-verge upon the central line, but diverge from it. Farther, the rays of the sun, when passing from a medium ofglass into the air, are turned, by refraction, farther off fromthe central line to which they were drawn in entering theconvex surface of glass. But if the rays, in passing throughthe glass, were in a direction converging to the perpendicularline, they will be made to converge still farther, as is seenhere in fig-. 3. ,i>*-;i-;2Ss»-*
