‎---- PREMIERE EDITION FRANCAISE refondue et complétée par M. BOLL -- Préface de Paul LANGEVIN ---- "DRUDE's chief contributions fall into two categories : his early work in physical optics, in which he concentrated on the relationship between the physical properties and the optical characteristics of crystals and his later work, in which he attempted to explain both physical and optical properties in a unified theory. In both phases theory and experiment were carefully interwoven ; the transition in Drude's orientation is closely correlated with his change from a mechanical to an electromagnetic view of optical phenomena...".
