Abstract
NEARLY ten years have elapsed since we reviewed the twelfth volume of this great work (NATURE, vol. lxxxiv., p. 491), of which vol. xiii., consisting of two parts of altogether nearly 1100 pages, only lately reached us, though dated 1916. It contains everything written by Huygens on geometrical optics, both what was incorporated in the “Dioptrica” published in his “Opuscula Posthuma” in 1703 and 1728, and various extracts from his manuscripts now printed for the first time.
