Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Knowledge, Vol. 38: A Monthly Record of Science; February, 1915
First the ?aming red Sprang vivid forth; the tawny orange next; And next delicious yellow, by whose side Fell the kind beams of all-refreshing green Then the pure blue, that swells autumnal skies, Ethereal played and then, of sadder hue, Emerged the deepened indigo, as when The heavy-skirted evening droops with frost; While the last gleamings of refracted light Died in the fainting violet away.
Science moves but slowly, slowly, creeping on from point to point.
