Excerpt from Burnett Lectures, on Light: Second Course, on Light as a Means of Investigation, Delivered at Aberdeen in December, 1884In one sense of course this would include nearly every investigation that we can carry on, for in nearly every case we make use of our eyes, and without light they would be of no avail.

Excerpt from Memoir and Scientific Correspondence of the Late Sir George Gabriel Stokes, Bart, , Sc, D., LL. D., D. C. L., Past Pres, R.

Departmen...

Excerpt from Mathematical and Physical Papers, Vol. 2Professor Powell's letter, I was led to perceive that the intensity of the light could be expressed in finite terms. This saves the trouble of Mr Airy's quadratures, and allows the results to be discussed with great facility. The law, too, Of the variation Of the intensity with the thickness of the plate is very remarkable, on account of its discontinuity. These reasons have induced me to la...

Excerpt from Natural Theology: The Gifford Lectures, Delivered Before the University of Edinburgh in 1893By way of introduction to the subject which I propose to bring before you to-day, I wish to say a few words to help to give some idea which we can actually realise of the distances of the heavenly bodies. Statements regarding these distances are indeed to be found in every elementary text-book dealing with such subjects, but it is one thing...
