The Science of Higher Prisms is a book written by Edmund Turney Allen in the year 1900. The book is a comprehensive guide on the subject of prisms, which are solid objects with flat faces and angles that refract light. The author delves into the science behind prisms and their various applications in science and technology.The book is divided into several chapters, each of which covers a different aspect of prisms. The first chapter introduces the reader to the basic principles of light and optics, and how prisms work to bend and refract light. The subsequent chapters cover topics such as the different types of prisms, their properties, and how they can be used in various scientific and technological applications.Throughout the book, Allen provides detailed explanations and illustrations to help readers understand the complex concepts involved in the study of prisms. He also includes numerous examples of how prisms have been used throughout history, from the earliest experiments with light and optics to the modern-day applications of prisms in fields such as astronomy, photography, and telecommunications.Overall, The Science of Higher Prisms is an essential resource for anyone interested in the science of optics and the fascinating world of prisms. With its clear and concise explanations, detailed illustrations, and historical context, this book is a valuable addition to any library or collection of scientific literature.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
