""On The Construction Of A Silvered Glass Telescope"" is a scientific book written by Henry Draper in 1864. The book is a detailed guide on how to construct a silvered glass telescope, which was a popular type of telescope used during the 19th century. It includes information on the materials needed for construction, the process of grinding and polishing the lenses, and the techniques for silvering the glass. The book also provides information on the principles of astronomy and how to use the telescope for observing celestial objects. Draper's work is considered a valuable resource for amateur astronomers and telescope makers, as well as for historians of science interested in the development of astronomical instruments. The book is written in a clear and concise manner, making it accessible to readers with a basic understanding of optics and astronomy.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
