' [Sir] H[oward] W(.arburton] Elphinstone from J. C. M.' — Inscr. on title. 



'Investigating the effects of combinations of various colours by means of the rapid rotation of discs coloured 

 differently in different parts. Maxwell's colour-top is now well known.'— Dr. R. T. Glazebrook, F.R.S. 



11673 On the Stability of the Motion of Saturn's Rings : an Essay which obtained the 



Adams Prize for 1856, in the University of Cambridge, with plate, 4to. sewn (scarce), 10* (Sd 



Cambridge, 1859 

 Including an Appendix : ' On the Stability of the Steady Motion of a Rigid Body about a Fixed Centre of Force,' by 

 Prof. W. Thomson [Lord Kelvin, p.r.s.] 



' His investigation froms the groundwork of all that is at present known in the matter. '—Miss Agnes M. Gierke. The 

 author formed the conclusion that ' the only system of rings which can exist is one composed of an indefinite number of 

 unconnected particles, revolving round the planet with different velocities according to their respective distances. '—j?- 'J7. 



11674 On the Theory of Compound Colours, and the Relations of the Colours of the 



Spectrum, with 2 plates by J. Basire, 4to. (pp. 28), sewn, Is 6d 1860 



' The main results of his work on colour are summed up in his paper 'On the Theory of Compound Colours '. His 

 instrument, the colour-box, by which he investigated the effect of mixing in given proportions light taken from different 

 parts of the spectrum, is first described, and then it is shown that any given colour sensation may be produced by 

 combinations in due proportion of rays taken from three parts of the spectrum, and also that if we select three definite 

 rays as standards, all other colours may be produced by proper combinations of these'.— Dr. Glazebrook.

The first edition of this classic work, the embodiment of Faraday's work in mathematical language, with important 

 original matter by the author himself, will always retain its special value. It is also the one most often reierred to 

 by scientists, especially in connexion with the author's electro-magnetic theory of light, of which the above work 

 embodies the author's ideas.
