  1. Perspicilnoun

    A glass through which things are viewed; an optick glass.

    Etymology: perspicillum, Lat.

    Let truth be
    Ne’er so far distant, yet chronology,
    Sharp-sighted as the eagle’s eye, that can
    Out-stare the broad-beam’d day’s meridian,
    Will have a perspicil to find her out,
    And through the night of error and dark doubt,
    Discern the dawn of truth’s eternal ray,
    As when the rosy morn buds into day. Richard Crashaw.

    The perspicil, as well as the needle, hath enlarged the habitable world. Joseph Glanvill, Sceps.
