For those who may be interested, -the prologue of Lorenz paper below translated from its Dutch language

"With a theoretical investigation of the movement symptoms der electricity came maxwell 1) the remarkable result,that there is a large agreement between sum some electrical movements and the aether vibrations that one to explain the light phenomena. He found,
that in a dielectric body there are vibrating movements of the elec can take place in the same way and with propagate the same speed as the light vibrations. The correspond The mood is so great that Maxwell gave rise to the under that in reality the light would consist of such electrical vibrations, a hypothesis, which he for some cases to the experience and therefore to a certain extent found.
Regardless of maxwell and others, lorenz is also 2) came to such results. Later, Helmholtz 3) joined the compilation of the movement equations of electricity the most general expression used for the inducing action of may incorporate power elements while undergoing maxwell and lorenz special assumptions about that operation were made. Helmholtz now found that also with that more alga for the consideration of the subject obtained by maxwell result essentially remains. He also commented to a circumstance that was not discussed by maxwell. He says namely 1) of the agreement found by them:This analogy is not very much in any other important relationship before hands which sir maxwell has not touched. You have the mecha niche state of the light ether some media so far see the fixed nel as ti Body equal set. This assumption results but for the border of two more transparent Media other boundary conditions, as a man,around the refraction and reflection of light to explain this limit, so here
theorists optics an unsolved contradiction files. The theory of electricians However, oscillations do not only result in the inside a similar insulating medium, but also on the border of two such media, the same laws of reproduction, the refraction and reflection of the waves, who we Light that find, provided that one can use either the magnetic or the dielectric polarity capability of both media the same and the latter is very large.
Of the designated alternative it depends on whether the electrical or magnetic oscillations of a polarized beam in the plane of polarization. "
It was this comment from Helmholtz that gave me cause to investigate to what extent the phenomena of reflection and refraction of light give rise to Maxwell's theory preferable to the previously adopted undulation theory.
In the first chapter I have the. difficulties discussed, which the latter yields in this regard. After then in the second chapter the movement equations of electricity I have the hypo in the last four chapters thesis by maxwell, or the electromagnetic theory of the light. In addition, the
reflection and refraction of light by non-conductive, isotropic substances, the optical properties of crystals, the theory of total reflection and finally the reflection of the light metals.
As the above-mentioned words from Helmholtz show,is a part of the results that I have obtained, already before
distracted by him. However, I do not know that he is more has written the quoted about this subject.
