Erstausgabe
Series: Burnett Lectures. 8vo. (187 x 128 mm) vi, 107 pp. Original black-stamped green cloth; spine darkened, covers lightly soiled. Ownership signature of W.N. Stocker and gift bookplate of "The Clarendon Laboratory, Oxford, from the bequest of W. N. Stocker, Esq., M.A., Brasenose College â Â" 1949." Very good. FIRST EDITION. George Stokes made most of his original contributions to science in his early years; afterwards, administrative duties occupied more and more of his time. Stokes was a leading authority on the subject of light, but he never fulfilled the expectations of his contemporaries by publishing a treatise on optics. For this reason, Stokes's lectures On light were highly anticipated. "In 1883 Stokes was appointed, under a new scheme, Burnett lecturer at Aberdeen, and delivered three courses of lectures on 'Light' (1883-85), which were published in three small volumes (1884-87). . . The theme in all these courses was treated from the point of view of natural theology, as the terms of the foundations required." [DNB]. Sir George Stokes was the Lucasian Professor of mathematics at Cambridge University; in 1854 Stokes became secretary of the Royal Society; in 1885 he was elected President of the Royal Society. Stokes was the first to hold all three offices since Sir Isaac Newton. DNB, 1901-1911, pp. 421-24; DSB Vol. XIII, pp. 64-79.
