"Most impressive of all Lorenz' achievements in optics is his electromagnetic theory of light, developed in a relatively unknown paper of 1867, two years after Maxwell's famous paper on the same subject. At the that time Lorenz did not know Maxwell's theory, and his own approach was quite different. Lorenz' electromagnetic theory of light can be described briefly as an interpretation of the light vector as the current density vector in a medium obeying Ohm's law." (DSB 7&8 page 502)

This book, published 10 years after his earliest work on the subject, appears to be based on lectures Lorenz did on the subject.
