Excerpt from Lord Byron's Works, Vol. 1: Containing: The Bride of Abydos; The Corsair; Lara; Parisina; Etc
His Lordship received the first rudiments of education at the celebrated seminary of Harrow, from whence he was subsequently removed to Cambridge, where his early turn for poetical composition, and the desire to know what the mighty dead had done in various ages and in various tongues, inspired his Lordship with a classical taste and a desire for the study of mo dern languages; and though critics may not deem him a profound, the severest will allow him to be an elegant, scholar.

Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the remarkable life and work of Ernst Abbe, a German physicist known for his groundbreaking contributions to optics and the advancement of social justice. Abbe's early work focused on optics, and he played a key role in developing new techniques for manufacturing optical lenses. His research led to the invention of the Abbe refractometer, an instrument used to measure the refractive index of liquids, and to the development of the apochromatic lens, which greatly improved the resolution and color correction of microscopes. His contributions to the field of microscopy earned him the nickname "the father of modern microscopy." However, Abbe was not only an accomplished scientist but also a passionate advocate for social justice. He was a strong supporter of workers' rights and universal education, and he established a foundation to provide financial assistance to students and promote scientific research. His social activism demonstrated his belief that scientific progress should benefit not only the scientific community but also society as a whole. This book offers a comprehensive account of Abbe's remarkable life and achievements, exploring both his scientific contributions and his dedication to social justice. It sheds light on a multifaceted figure who left a lasting impact on the fields of optics and social reform.
