Excerpt from Colour and Methods of Colour Reproduction
For the reason of the limitation of the scope of the present work, I have refrained from a discussion of the theories, electrical and otherwise, which seek to explain the primary translation of the energy of electro-magnetic radiations into the nervous and mental phenomena which we experience as light and colour. Any treat ment of these theories within the present limits would be inadequate and unsatisfactory, and the effect of their incidence on the older and more fundamental theories seems still uncertain.
In conclusion it may be hoped that this book may do some thing at least to enhance the enjoyment of colour by those who read it. Philosophy is less proud than she was, and there is room in the world for men like Sir William Abney and the late Prof. Silvanus P. Thompson, philosophers first, but something of artists too.

Excerpt from Colour and Methods of Colour Reproduction
Part I of the present book aims at giving a simple account (which in the main should be intelligible to the non-specialist reader) of the chief facts of the theory of colour measurement and nomenclature, and also seeks to indicate how the theory may help out practice in various directions. It is also definitely introductory to the second part. Part II is intended to provide an introduction to the more advanced study of colour measurement and colour vision; some knowledge of physics on the part of the reader is assumed. Part III, which deals with colour printing and colour photography, comes from the pen of Mr. Wm. Gamble, editor of The Process Year Book. His wide experience in these technical matters renders his collaboration of great value. It is therefore hoped that the book may be of use to those dealing with colour in the worlds of commerce and art, and also that it may stimulate the interest of others with a scientific training and tempt them to wander into this most fascinating field of inquiry.
A study of the subject of colour vision seems to show that the day of fervid partisanship as between different theories is closing, and increasing knowledge only reveals the long road along which we must travel for a complete explanation of this and other sensor) mechanisms. The primary contribution of the pure physicist is now very largely completed in the studies which have grouped around the trichromatic theory, and the results obtained will always be of permanent value from the practical standpoint.
