ScHBLLEH.] SPECTRUM ANALYSIS EXPLAINED. 55 4S pxJ trum nalgsis Explained, and its IJ ses to Sxjijenxjje lllustratjed I ntroductory. THIS work is founded upon a series of lectures delivered by the author during the winter of 1869, before theS ociety forS cientific Lectures, inC ologne. I ts object is, on the one hand, to give a clear and familiar representation of the nature and phenomena of spectrum analysis, enabling an educated person not previously familiar with physical science to become acquainted with the newest and most brilliant discovery of this century; and, on the other hand, to show the important position which spectrum analysis has acquired in the pursuit of physics, chemistry, technology, physiology, and astronomy, as well as its adaptability to almost every kind of scientific investigation. The general reader will be introduced by this book into a new realm of science, the dominion of which has extended in a few years over all terrestrial substances, and even beyond them to the most distant parts of the universe. He will learn to decipher the new language of lights which by unequivocal signs yields him information not only concerning the nature of terrestrial substances, but also of the physical constitution of the heavenly bodies. To facilitate the due appreciation of the results which have been obtained by the application of spectrum analysis to the heavenly bodies, the author has given with each class of objects a summary of the information hitherto furnished by the telescope, and has sought to give a glance in passing at the progressive development and partial transformation of the heavenly bodies.
