A Short System of Optics, Principally Designed for the Use of Undergraduates in the University of Dublin

A scarce second edition of this volume regarding optics designed for undergraduates at the university of Dublin, with five folding plates. John Stack delineates a short system of optics for the undergraduates in the University of Dublin, the second edition of 1811. Originally published in 1793, this volume is scarce in any edition.A fascinating early study of the nature and properties of light, exploring the theory of Newton, the motion of light, its intensity, the theory of reflection and refraction, and more.Complete with the six folding plates to the rear, although of plate I there are only some remains. Disbound. Externally very smart with minor shelf wear and some minor inscriptions by a previous owner to the title page. Internally, firmly bound. With minor faint scattered spotting to the wraps, which are generally very clean with only a touch of age toning, as usual. Complete with six folding plates with no tears, although of plate I there are only remains. Very Good.
