Synopsis
Excerpt from The Physiology of Vision: With Special Reference to Colour Blindness
This book is the result of numerous researches on vision and Colour-vision, the principal original papers of which are given at the end of the volume, and present the subject in a new aspect. It will be noticed that each section of the subject has been given from the point of view of new facts apart from any theory and so is available for an explanation on any theory.
The subjects of vision and colour-vision have been Viewed too much from the point of View of theory and the primary assumption is made that the theory is true when this can be easily shown not to be the case, as for instance long papers on induction when there is no induction and the classification of colour blindness as red blindness, green blindness, etc., when this classification is so meaningless that a man may be classified by one observer as a case of complete red blindness and by another as a case of complete green blindness.
