by LANDAUER, John.
New York:: John Wiley & Sons, 1898., 1898. 8vo. x, 239, [1], 16 pp. 44 figs., index, ads; small waterstain to early pages. Brown blind- and gilt-stamped cloth. Small marginalia on title reads "Lib Phip." Very good. First edition. From the translator's preface: "Of the works on spectrum analysis hitherto published in English, none are suitable as text-books, either on account of their size and consequent cost, or from the manner in which the subject is presented. It is hoped that this little book may, in some degree, supply this lack. There has been no attempt to treat the subject exhaustively, but rather to indicate the more salient points of theory, etc., leaving it to the teacher to complete and expand them at his own discretion." –John Bishop Tingle.
