Abstract
PROF. DRUDE'S name is well known to English physicists. As a careful and exact worker, the author of a book on the Physics of the Ether, and the successor of Gustav Wiedemann in the editorship of the Annalen des Physik, he has already made a high reputation for himself, and the book now under consideration will serve to add to it. Text-books of optics, it is true, are numerous, and the reviewer is apt to think that of the making of many books there is no end. Prof. Drude's book, however, contains much that is novel—at any rate, to English text-books—and the student will find up-to-date information on many points of interest.
