Présentation de l'éditeur

Professor Mac Cullagh. They have been reprinted for the most part from the Proceedings and Transactions of the Royal I rish A cademy, in which they originally appeared. Some few have been taken from the Philosophical Magazine. Prof. Mac Cullagh smost important contributions to Science were made in the departments of Physical Optics and Geometry the first class being very much the larger. The discrepancy is not, however, as great as might at first sight appear. A considerable part of his Optical researches, more especially those of earlier date, really belong to the domain of Geometry; and, if they were so classed, the inequality between the classes would be much reduced. Such a classification, however, involving the separation of the purely geometrical propositions from their physical applications, would be exceedingly inconvenient, and these propositions have been allowed to remain in the connexion in which the author placed them.

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
