Light Science for Leisure Hours Richard Anthony Proctor

The First Series of Light Science Essays met with a success so far beyond my expectations, that I should have found in that circumstance alone a reason for adding the present volume to the series. But I have also felt a wish to publish these essays because they contain facts collected at the cost of much labour and carefully discussed, useful, therefore, I trust, to others as well as to myself, when thus gathered into a volume. Those who have read my former series of essays, viz., Light Science, Series I., The Orbs around us, andE ssays on A stronomy, will perceive that even when I treat here of subjects already dealt with by me elsewhere, I have been careful to avoid the repetition of any statements, except those few without which a subject would be incomplete.
