First printing of Zorawski's important paper which is one of the very first responses to Sophus Lie's group theory.

Similar to Lie, he asked for the number of invariants of different orders. From then on, two concepts played a major role within the theory of differential calculus, initiated by Ricci, and the group concept that was introduced by Lie and improved by Zorawski."

Leroux found that a prism filled with iodine vapour refracts the red rays to a greater extent than it refracts the blue (1862), and when Kundt (1871) - (in the paper offered) - showed the connection between this phenomenon and absorption: in the neighbourhood of an absorption band the refractive index undergoes considerable variations.....the mechanical theory - which had already been suspected by Maxwell in 1869 - was perfected by Helmholtz in 1875; three years later, H.A. Lorentz translated the results into electromagnetic language, and so, independently did Helmholtz in 1892."
