Scientific paper

IN most of the current treatises on spectrum analysis, on the spectroscope, and on optics generally (Lloyd's works being exceptions), injustice is done to Newton's care, and scientific insight in his optical experiments, when Wollaston's discovery of the dark lines in the solar spectrum is alluded to, by most positive statements to the effect that Newton never used the slit, or that Wollaston was the first who ever made observations on the pure spectrum.
