"The Undulatory Theory of Optics is presented to the reader as having the same claims to his attention as the Theory of Gravitation: namely, that it is certainly true, and that, by mathematical operations of general elegance, it leads to results of great interest. With regard to the evidence for this theory; if the simplicity of a hypothesis, which explains with accuracy a vast variety of phenomena of the most complicated kind, can be considered a proof of its correctness, I believe there is no physical theory so firmly established as the theory in question. This can be felt completely, perhaps, only by the person who has both observed the phenomena and made the calculations; as to my own pretensions to the former qualification, I shall merely state that I have repeated nearly every experiment alluded to in the following Tract. This character of certainty I conceive to belong only to what may be called the geometrical part of the theory: the hypothesis, namely, that light consists of undulations depending on transversal vibrations, and that these travel with certain velocities in different media according to the laws here explained. The mechanical part of the theory, as the suppositions relative to the constitution of the ether, the computation of the intensity of reflected and refracted rays, &c, though generally probable, I conceive to be far from certain. "The plan of this Tract has therefore been to include those phenomena only which admit of calculation. Many subjects are thus excluded (for instance, the absorption of light by coloured media) for which supplementary theories are still wanting. On the other hand, the investigations are applied only to phenomena which actually have been observed: as I have thought it useless to suppose imaginary combinations, where the real conditions of experiment offer so great variety. "The second investigation of the intensity of light reflected from a glass surface, and that of the nature of light reflected internally and totally from glass, were written as a conjectural restoration of Fresnel's investigations, when his paper was supposed to be lost. That paper has since been found and published: the only alteration which it appeared necessary to make is contained in the note attached to the latter."

Book excerpt: Excerpt from On the Undulatory Theory of Optics: Designed for the Use of Students in the University This Treatise on the Undulatory Theory of Optics was first printed in the year 1831, as the last Essay in the Second Edition of a series of "Mathematical Tracts;" and was subsequently reprinted, occupying a similar place, in successive editions of that work. At the suggestion of the Publisher, it has now, with my approval, been printed in a separate form. Its arrangement and details are however the same, without material alteration, as in the Fourth Edition of the "Mathematical Tracts." I am happy to state that the work has been passed through the press under the superintendence of Robert Morton, Esq., B.A. of St Peter's College. Every security is thus given for the general accuracy of the publication. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
