Crown 8vo. ^s. 6d. The author believes that the hypothesis of the existence of, besides matter, a lu minous ether, of immense elastic force, supplies the true and suf- ficient key to the remaining secrets of inorganic matter, of the phe- nomena of light, electricUy, etc. In this treatise the author endea- vours first to form a clear and definite conception with regard to the real nature both of matter and ether, and the laws of mutual action which must be supposed to exist between them. He then endeavours to trace ottt the main consequences of the fundamental hypothesis, and their correspondence with the kno^n phenomena of physical change. Blanford (W.
