To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The theory of Thomas Young is not amenable to this criticism. Here there is no longer admitted any peculiar kind of "fits" as primordial properties of the rays. The thin film is here assimilated in all respects to any thicker reflector of the same substance. If at certain points in its surface no light is visible, Young did not conclude that therefore its reflexion had ceased ; he sup- posed that, in the special directions of those points, the rays reflected by the second surface proceeded to m...eet with those reflected from the first surface, and com- pletely destroyed them. This conflict of the rays is what the author designated by the term " interference" which has since become so famous. Observe then here the most singular of hypotheses ! We must certainly feel surprised at finding night in full sunshine, at points where the rays of that luminary arrive freely ; but who would have imagined that we should thence come to suppose that darkness could be engendered by adding light to light !
