Elements of the Electromagnetic Theory of Light (Classic Reprint)

This little volume, whose object is to present the essentials of the electromagnetic theory of light, was rewritten, tthe instance of Messrs. A dam Hilger, Limited, from my Polish treatise on Electricity and Magnetism (3 vols., Warsaw, 1908-1913, pubhshed by the kind help of the Mianowski I nstitution). It consists principally of an English version of chapter viii., vol. ii., of that work with some slight omissions and modifications. In order to make the subject accessible to a larger circle of readers Section 3was added. The language adopted is mainly vectorial. This is the chief reason of the compactness of the book which, it is hoped, notwithstanding its small number of pages, will be found to contain an easy and complete presentation of the fundamental part of Maxwell stheory of light. I gladly take the opportunity of expressing my best thanks to Messrs. Hilger for enabling me to submit a portion of my treatise to the English reader. L. S. London, May,
