Lectures on some recent advances in physical science : with a special lecture on force
Peter Guthrie Tait's 1876 London lecture course on energy, heat, matter and spectrum analysis, published by Macmillan for students and general audiences at his Edinburgh talks. Wood engravings mix spectrum charts of dense vertical lines against stippled black grounds with bench apparatus in outline — tuning forks, lenses, lamps, optical benches and dotted ray paths — useful as stripe patterns, diagram arrows and instrument silhouettes.
