Book excerpt: Excerpt from Illumination and Photometry The preparation of this volume was undertaken with a view to providing an adequate text-book of the subject for the use of colleges of engineering. It is not intended to be a handbook of technical data nor a manual of practical instructions. Emphasis is therefore given to the scientific basis of the subject and to methods of rational analysis rather than to the description of processes of manufacture, structural details and prevailing practice. A condensed form of treatment has been sought throughout. In the work of instruction much of the subject-matter may profitably be amplified by lectures, supplementary reading and the working out of problems. Familiarity with the technique of photometry should be sought in the laboratory in connection with such a course. The material herein contained to a large extent represents the basis of a course in Illumination and Photometry given by the University of Wisconsin, and the author acknowledges with pleasure much helpful encouragement and many suggestions from Prof. Murray C. Beebe of that institution. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
