Abstract
THE successive chapters of this book deal with fundamental ideas ; sources of radiation ; principles of analysis ; spectrometers, general and particular ; thermal, photo-electric and photographic measurement ; densitometers ; galvanometers ; spectrophotometry ; pyrometry ; photometry ; special problems. Many of these topics are each the subject of treatises as long as this book ; accordingly it was necessary for the editorial committee to decide exactly what was the gap in the literature that they proposed to fill.
