About this Item

(FIZEAU) Foster, C.G. "On Fizeau's Experiments on "Newton's Rings", in Nature, volume 2, June 9 1870, in the weekly issue of pp 97-116, with the Fizeau on page 105. (This is just one page but it is a very tight two-columns of about 1200 words.) This is the full weekly issue, extracted from a larger bound volume. Very nice copy, tidy and crisp. The early volumes of NATURE are not common.|\| "A COMPARISON of the values given by Professor Ångström (in his magnificent Recherches sur le spectre solaire) for the wave-lengths corresponding to the two principal components of Fraunhofer's line D, with some observations made eight or nine years ago by M. Fizeau, not only reveals a remarkable agreement between the results of these two distinguished investigators, but yields one of the most striking confirmations of the truth of the undulatory theory of light that recent optical research has afforded."--Abstract from NATURE |\\| Other papers in this issue sound just lovely: "Longevity in Man and Animals", "the Aye Aye", "Lefthandedness", "The Chromatic Octave", "The Color of the Moon by Day and Night", "What is a Boulder", and of course "The New Australian Mud Fish".
