| Title | Unpublished manuscript, 'On the centre of motion in the human eye' by John Lucas Tupper |
| Creator | Tupper; John Lucas (c 1824-1879); British artist; Teacher of Geometrical Projection at Rugby School |
| Date | 1874 |
| Description | The paper premises that its argument is conditional, that it adopts all the fundamental optical conditions as they are received, that the received centre of motion is not one of these, but is supposed to be legitimately derived from them, and that Tupper disputes this and proposes first to show that this conclusion is inconsistent with its premises, and that a different though indefinite conclusion is thence derivable; second, by experiment, to develop and reduce that conclusion to a definite form; and third, to verify it by anatomical induction.
