Publisher's Synopsis
""Studies in Spectrum Analysis"" is a book written by J. Norman Lockyer, a renowned British astronomer and physicist. The book is a comprehensive study of the spectral analysis of various elements and compounds, including metals, gases, and minerals. It provides a detailed account of the principles and techniques of spectrum analysis, including the use of prisms, diffraction gratings, and other optical instruments. The book also covers the history of spectrum analysis and its applications in astronomy, chemistry, and other fields. Lockyer's work in spectrum analysis led to the discovery of several new elements, including helium, and his contributions to the field earned him numerous honors and accolades. This book is a valuable resource for students and professionals in the fields of physics, chemistry, and astronomy, as well as anyone interested in the history and development of scientific techniques.1904. The newer the science, the more wary must be the steps. In the newest of all the sciences, therefore, which enables us to regard matter wheresoever situated from an entirely new point of view, the investigator's caution much be redoubled, and those who would follow him must be careful to secure firm foothold at every step. Fortunately, the laws and phenomena of nature have such a oneness with their diversity, and are so exquisitely intertwined, that it is possible for us in the consideration of any new branch of science to aid our conceptions by mental images derived from the older sciences or ordinary phenomena, and this is especially true for that science now under consideration.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
