The Analytical Theory of Light (Classic Reprint)

Preface In order to make the book as complete as possible witbin the limits adopted, I have not hesitated to levy contributions from those that have previously written on the subject. This is evidenced by the references given in the course of the work, but of published treatises I must in special mention the aid that I have received from Voigt sC ompendium der theoretischen Physik, the influence of which may be traced in all parts of the subject, from Liebisch sP hysikatische Krystallographie and from Winkelmann sH andbuch derP hysik. I have to offer my best thanks toM rI. O. Griffiths, B.A., Fellow of St John sC ollege, Oxford, for his care and diligence in reading the proofs, and to my son for his help in the preparation of the diagrams. But above all I must express my indebtedness toP rof. Clifton, F.R.S., for the sympathetic kindness with which he has at all times been ready to render me assistance and advice. Acknowledgement is also due to theS yndics of the Cambridge University Press for their kindness in undertaking to publish the book, and to theO fficials of the Press for the accuracy and care with which they have executed the printing and corrections.
