Abstract
In analysing Mr Wheatstone's beautiful discovery, that in binocular vision we see all objects of three dimensions by means of two dissimilar pictures on the retina, I trust I have satisfied the Society that the dissimilarity of these two pictures is in no respect the cause of our vivid perception of such objects, but, on the contrary, an unavoidable accompaniment of binocular vision, which renders it less perfect than vision with one eye. On the other hand, it is quite true that, in Mr Wheatstone's experiment of producing the perception of objects of three dimensions by the apparent coalescence of two dissimilar representations of such objects in plano, the dissimilarity of the pictures is necessary in the exhibition of that beautiful phenomenon.
