Abstract
THIS well-constructed manual will compare favourably with the best elementary text-books of optics. It is attractively designed, handy in size, and scientifically arranged. First the phenomena and theory of refraction, reflection, and dispersion are described; optical instruments form the subject of the second part of the book; interference and dispersion the third part, and optical phenomena of the earth's atmosphere, the fourth part; various interesting notes, and a comprehensive bibliography, conclude the volume. The optics of astronomical instruments are treated much more fully than is usually the case in elementary text-books.
