What reading level is Mathematical And Physical Papers volume 1 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

Then V/p would be the velocity with which light would traverse the glass if the ether were at rest; but the ether moving with a velocity v/fjf, the light traverses the glass with a velocity - + -o, and therefore in a time J ~ ON FRESNEL S THEORY OF THE ABERRATION OF LIGHT. 143 But if the glass were away, the light, travelling with a velocity V v, would pass over the space T in the time T Hence the retardation, expressed in time, =(/u, 1) ^, the same as if the earth were at rest. But in this cas...e no effect would be produced on the fringes, and therefore none will he produced in the actual case.
I shall now shew that, according to Fresnel s theory, the laws of reflexion and refraction in singly refracting media are un influenced by the motion of the earth. The method which I employ will, I hope, be found simpler than Fresnel s ; besides it applies easily to the most general case. Fresnel has not given the calculation for reflexion, but has merely stated the result; and with respect to refraction, he has only considered the case in which the course of the light within the refracting medium is in the direction of the earth s motion.
