Charles Anthon (1834): "the spectacles in question being altogether too large for the breadth of the human face"

Charles Anthon (who received this information from Martin Harris):

these spectacles were so large that if a person attempted to look through them, his two eyes would have to be turned towards one of the glasses merely, the spectacles in question being altogether too large for the breadth of the human face.[1]
