Fritz' glasses: as I recall, Hahn pointed out the sheer number of them in existence (and also of the orders for glasses starting in the late 1740s), and also the increasing strengh of them. However, yes, because of the lighting, everyone reading (as opposed to having something read to them) would have held the book as close to them as possible independent of strength of sight.
