Abstract
THIS synthesis of our knowledge in an important and fundamental branch of physics —opened up by our author in 1896, and afterwards cultivated so zealously and fruitfully by many workers, but by himself far in front of all others—will be most welcome to all who wish to keep abreast of the advancing tide of electrical and optical discovery. Prof. Zeeman has paid us the compliment of writing his book in English; and nowhere, perhaps, will he have more attentive readers than here. Though occasional slight; differences of idiom betray that the work is not composed in his native language, yet the clearness and directness of statement, and the conciseness of exposition, enable him to cover a large field, so to speak in a single view, in a manner which will make the book a permanent companion; of all who are interested in the progress of the marvellous subject which is indissolubly associated with the name of the Professor of Physics of Amsterdam.
