Excerpt from Spectrum Analysis in Its Application to Terrestrial Substances: And the Physical Constitution of the Heavenly Bodies
The daughters of my friend Mr. Lassell, F.R.S., President R.A.S., having asked me to edit their translation of this work, I consented the more readily to accede to their wish because Dr. Schellen's book appeared to me valuable as a popular account of a new branch of scientific investigation.
I have to remind the readers of the book that I am not responsible for the views of the Author, nor for the relative importance which he has given to the work of different investigators in the same held of research. I have added some notes, which are distinguished from those of the Author by being enclosed within brackets. The absence of an editorial note is not, however, to be understood in every case as giving my sanction to the statements of the text.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book offers a survey of a newly discovered scientific method: spectrum analysis. Written in 1872, it explores the history and applications of this method and the profound effect it had on the scientific understanding of the day. Authored by a physicist who was directly involved in the development of the field, it provides an especially insightful perspective on the remarkable journey of spectrum analysis. The book covers a wide range of topics, including the use of spectrum analysis to determine the composition of stars, planets, comets, and other celestial bodies. It also discusses the development of techniques for using spectrum analysis to study the composition of materials on Earth. The book is written in a clear and accessible style, making it suitable for a wide audience. It's a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of science, the development of spectrum analysis, or the application of this method to different elds of science.
