First edition of an abridged, adapted and illustrated version of the first, and widely read, textbook on the subject of optics, by the English mathematician and music theorist Robert Smith (1689-1768). The present adaptation not only includes Smith's influential theories on the different properties of light, but also related works by others such as Newton's experiments to prove that white light contains many colours, edited and published for the benefit of university students. The original, A compleat system of opticks, published in 1738 was translated into French, Dutch and German in the second half of the 18th century. The books presenting Smith's theories, including the present one, were considered the best textbooks on optics for more than 150 years after the publication of his Compleat system. Smith was Plumian professor of astronomy and experimental philosophy at Cambridge University from 1716 to 1760 and was elected a fellow of the Royal Society in 1718.With the armorial bookplate of the Massy (or Massey) family (with the name and the motto "pro libertate patriae") on the front pastedown, and with an owner's inscription on the title page: "The R. Hon.bl. HH. Lord Baron Massy, Hermitage Co Limerick".
