“WHO INVENTED SPFXTAar.ES?” Roger Bacon, in his “Hints for Spectacles,” 1280, speaks of tubes of horn or parchment, joined across the nose and made fast about the ears as being helpful to writers, writes r “Daily Chronicle’” correspondent. The use of spectacles embodying this idea was for hundreds of years practically confined to monasteries, until an attempt to popularise them, in a somewhat elaborate form, was made in the 17th century. Hence Popys’ remark about “the late experiment of paper tubes.” The manufacture of glass for optical purposes followed upon Petit’s Treatise upon the Structure of the Eye, 1700. Spectacles capped with optical or magnifying glass were first made by Bradley, followed bv Dollond and Hall.
