They are both on the eye side of the focus of the object-glass, and act together to render the rays parallel, and give a magnified virtual image of FF'. This eye-piece is not strictly achromatic, but suffers least of all from spherical aberration, and has the advantage of being placed behind the focus of the object-glass, which makes it superior to others in instruments of precision.

While the Herschelian has the brightest image of all the reflecting telescopes, with a given aperture, and possesses the advantage — so thoroughly appreciated by those in the habit of observing for many consecutive hours — of allowing the observer always to look downward, its disadvantages are still many. It cannot produce the finest definition, because the reflecting surface cannot bring the rays to an exact focus when they are thrown so far to one side of the axis of the tube;...
