The Life of John Dollond, F. R. S., Inventor of the Achromatic Telescope by John Kelly Pdf

Excerpt from The Life of John Dollond, F. R. S., Inventor of the Achromatic Telescope: With a Copious Appendix of All the Papers Referred To The subject of the following memoir is entitled to this introduction, and the public will receive with satisfaction the following account of the inventor of the achromatic telescope. John Dollond, fellow of the Royal Society, was born in Spitalfields, on the tenth day of June in the year 1706: his parents were French protestants, and at the time of the revocation of the edict of Nantz, which happened in the year 1685, resided in Normandy; but in what particular part of it is not at present precisely known: M. de Lalande does not believe the name to be of French origin: but however this may be, the family were compelled soon after this period to seek refuge in England, in order to avoid persecution and to preserve their religion. The fate of this family was not a solitary case; fifty thousand persons pursued the same measures, and we may date from this period the rise of several arts and manufactures, which have become highly beneficial to this country. An establishment was given to these refugees, by the wise policy of our government, in Spitalfields, and particular encouragement granted to the silk manufactory.

The Life of JOHN DOLLOND by John Kelly Pdf

John Dollond FRS (10 June O.S. (21 June N.S.) 1706 ? 30 November 1761) was an English optician. He followed his father's trade, but found time to acquire a knowledge of Latin, Greek, mathematics, physics, anatomy and other subjects. Early in 1757 Dollond succeeded in producing achromatic refraction by the aid of glass and water lenses, and a few months later he made a successful attempt to get the same result by a combination of glasses of different qualities .

Francis Watkins and the Dollond Telescope Patent Controversy by Brian Gee,edited by Anita McConnell Pdf

Francis Watkins was an eminent figure in his field of mathematical and optical instrument making in mid-eighteenth century London. Working from original documents, Brian Gee has uncovered the life and times of an optical instrument maker, who - at first glance - was not among the most prominent in his field. In fact, because Francis Watkins came from a landed background, the diversification of his assets enabled him to weather particular business storms - discussed in this book - where colleagues without such an economic cushion, were pushed into bankruptcy or forced to emigrate. He played an important role in one of the most significant legal cases to touch this profession, namely the patenting of the achromatic lens in telescopes. The book explains Watkins's origins, and how and why he was drawn into partnership with the famous Dollond firm, who at that point were Huguenot incomers. The patent for the achromatic telescope has never been satisfactorily explained in the literature, and the author has gone back to the original legal documents, never before consulted. He teases out the problems, lays out the evidence, and comes to some interesting new conclusions, showing the Dollonds as hard-headed and ruthless businessmen, ultimately extremely successful. The latter part of the book accounts for the successors of Francis Watkins, and their decline after over a century of successful business in central London.
