Excerpt from Treatise on Practical Light

Meanwhile the treatment of Optics in most of our colleges, so far as it goes beyond the elementary notions, deals with it either as a framework upon which to hang pretty mathematical problems, or else deals with the fascinating, but comparatively non-practical questions of Physical Optics, such as interference, polarisation anomalous dispersion, etc. For these reasons I have found the chapters to which I attach the greatest importance upon the Compound Lens, the Microscope, and upon Colour, the most difficult to write, and I realise that they are still far from complete.
