73 The way wherein faintness suggests greater magnitude illustrated
74 Appearance of the horizontal moon, why thought difficult to explain

76 The opinion of Dr. Wallis
77 It is shown to be unsatisfactory
78 How lines and angles may be of use in computing apparent magnitudes

of magnitude
80 The MINIMUM VISIBLE the same to all creatures
81 Objection answered
82 The eye at all times perceives the same number of visible points
83 Two imperfections in the VISIVE FACULTY
84 Answering to which, we may conceive two perfections

88 Difficulty concerning erect vision

of mistake in this matter
92 The case of one born blind, proper to be considered
93 Such a one might by touch attain to have IDEAS of UPPER and LOWER
94 Which modes of situation he would attribute only to things tangible
95 He would not at first sight think anything he saw, high or low,
erect or inverted
