Auroræ

Abstract

IN Mr. Gore's delightful book on the “Art of Scientific Discovery,” it is said that “during the prosecution of an original investigation, the area of question and discovery enlarges as we proceed, and the research in some cases develops into such complexity and magnitude, that solution of its questions appears for a time hopeless. Generally, however, when that discouraging point is attained, the subject begins to clear, and by persistent research is gradually reduced to order, and is found to conform to a few general laws or principles.”

Auroræ: their Characters and Spectra.

By J. Rand Capron (London: E. and F. N. Spon, 1879.)
