Royal Observatory Greenwich - Gives his comments regarding WW's paper on the history of optics and light in general [for his The Philosophy of the Inductive Sciences, Founded Upon their History?]: 'There is one fault in the general arrangement, which I do not see how to remove - namely, that the phenomena and explanations of fringes, gratings, &c, did precede in history and do precede in mental comprehension those relating to dipolarisation. But the things are very much interlaced all through'.
