The English translation from the Dutch is the first published edition. "Donder's greatest work, the bases for all succeeding studies of the subject, and a classic of physiological optics. It contains Donder's explanation of astigmatism, his definition of aphakia and hypermetropia, his sharp distinctions between myopia and hypermetropia, etc." (Garrison & Morton)
