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.
