James Jurin wrote an extended essay on distinct and indistinct vision in 1738. In it, he distinguished between "perfect," "distinct," and "indistinct vision" as perceptual categories, and his meticulous descriptions and analyses of perceptual phenomena contained observations that are akin to crowding. Remaining with the concepts of his day, however, he failed to recognize crowding as separate from spatial resolution. We present quotations from Jurin's essay and place them in the context of the contemporary concerns with visual resolution and crowding.
詹姆斯·朱林在1738年写了一篇关于清晰与模糊视觉的长篇论文。在文中，他区分了“完美”“清晰”和“模糊视觉”这些感知类别，并且他对感知现象的细致描述和分析包含了类似于拥挤现象的观察。然而，由于局限于他那个时代的概念，他未能认识到拥挤现象与空间分辨率是不同的。我们展示了朱林论文中的引文，并将它们置于当代对视觉分辨率和拥挤现象的关注背景中。
