Book Description
"First edition of David Brewster's first major scientific publication, detailing his early experiments in optics. In 1813, Brewster was already fellow of the Royal Society and editor of the Edinburgh Encyclopedia. The present work was the culmination of twelve years of experiments. In it, he reports his findings about the refractive and dispersive powers of early two hundred substances he made in a quest for the improvement of achromatic telescopes. Though the years immediately following this book's publication led him to revise some of his theories, these studies are the basis of much of the work for which he is celebrated, including his discoveries about the polarization of light and absorption spectra, and his invention of teh kaleidoscope and development of the stereoscope."--Antiquarian bookseller's description.
