“While the book hardly claims, perhaps, to be a complete treatise, it covers a great deal of ground, and in particular deals with a number of matters, such as the laws of radiation, dispersion, fluorescence, and the optics of moving media, which are not so fully treated in some other recent works. A student commencing the study of optics would perhaps hardly begin with this book; he would find, however, in its pages when he came to read them some most instructive views of the subject.”—Nature.
“It is full of instruction clearly conveyed, is instinct with intelligence and is uncommonly interesting, because it is largely about the author’s own work. Some day we shall have a better proportioned book, but that it will be a more serviceable one is not so certain.”
