Excerpt from Handbuch der Optik, Vol. 1: Mit Besonderer Rücksicht auf die Neuesten Fortschritte der Wissenschaft
Da nun nach dem Erscheinen der ‚herschel schen. Optik kein umfassendes Werk ähnlicher Art erschien, und der Stoff einerseits in den letz ten Jahren so sehr angewachsen, andrerseits so sehr zerstreut ist, und die verschiedenartigste Be handlung erfahren hat: so mufs es selbst für den gewandteren Mathematiker, wenn ihm auch alle Quellen zu Gebote stehen, höchst mühsam sein, sich eine Uebersicht über das bisher Geleistete zu verschaffen.
