Professor Stokes on Light

Abstract

THIS volume completes the course of the First Burnett Lecturer on the New Foundation. We have already (vol. xxix. p. 545, and vol. xxxii. p. 361) noticed the first two volumes; and we are now in a position to judge of the work as a whole. But we must first speak of the contents of the present volume.

Burnett Lectures. Third Course: On the Beneficial Effects of Light.

By G. G. Stokes. (London: Macmillan and Co., 1887.)
