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".

[++] "Going Right and Making It Wrong: The Reception of Fizeau s Ether-Drift Experiment of 1859" by Jan Frercks, Boston Studies In The Philosophy Of Science book series (BSPS,volume 267) . "For Hippolyte Fizeau, everything in his ether-drift experiment of 1859 [one part of which is offered here in the CR, followed shortly thereafter the same year and in 1860 in the Annales de Chymie et de Physique] went right.1 He had expected a change in an optical effect caused by the motion of the Earth, and, indeed, he measured this change. The data corresponded neatly with his theory-based prediction. This was the first demonstration of the motion of the Earth with respect to the luminiferous ether. In fact, it remained the only experiment which proved such an effect. According to present-day knowledge, however, the effect deduced and measured by Fizeau is known not to exist, signaling that something must have gone fatally wrong in Fizeau s experiment. The problem is not that the experiment is based on the assumption of an ether, which is today is regarded as non-existent. The problem rather is that the data themselves must be judged as wrong in the sense of referring not to nature, but to some (unknown) property of the apparatus or the measuring procedure."

Hippolyte Fizeau, "Rapport sur le concours de l'annee 1867" in "Comptes rendus de l'Academie des Sciences", Paris, vol 66 no. 20, 18 May 1868, pp 932-934 in the full issue of pp 921-1004.

Hippolyte Fizeau proposed in May 1868 a method to use interferometry (a technique which uses the interference of superimposed waves to extract information) to measure the angular diameters of stars. It was a pioneering idea in the history of stellar interferometry, built on earlier work by Young (1803), Fresnel (1816-1818), Foucault and Arago (1850) and Fizeau's earlier work in 1851. Fizeau suggested that by using two widely spaced slits over a large telescope, it would be possible to observe interference fringes that could reveal the angular diameters of stars. This report by Fizeau ("Rapport sur le concours de l'annee 1867") was written by him (and unsigned) for the French Academy of Sciences for the Prix Borden commission in his capacity as rapporteur. His idea was proposed while discussing a mathematical idea on rigid bodies and while doing so introduced his idea on stellar interferometry. 714.3.

Exemplaire à toutes marges non rogné. - - - - Nous ne mentionnerons parmi les nombreuses contributions que : DELAMARCHE : Volcan de Taal (Philippines) - - - - Becquerel, M. : Rapport sur un ouvrage ayant pour titre: "De la reproduction des métaux précieux au Mexique", considérée dans ses rapports avec la géologie, la métallurgie et l'économie politique, présenté à l'Académie des sciences par M. Saint-Clair-Duport - - - En 1666, Colbert crée une Académie qui se consacre au développement des sciences et conseille le pouvoir en ce domaine. Il choisit des savants, mathématiciens (astronomes, mathématiciens et physiciens) et des physiciens (anatomistes, botanistes, zoologistes et chimistes) qui tiennent leur première séance le 22 décembre 1666 dans la bibliothèque du Roi, à Paris. Pendant ses trente premières années, l'Académie fonctionne sans statuts. » La Révolution mit à rude épreuve l'Académie des sciences. Malgré la tentative de rester à distance du débat politique, l'institution fut entraînée à communiquer fréquemment avec l'Assemblée nationale, puis avec la Convention nationale. Lorsqu'elle fut chargée de préparer les éléments de la réforme générale des poids et mesures, elle nomma aussitôt cinq commissions pour la réaliser : Cassini, Méchain et Legendre s'occupent des mesures astronomiques ; Meusnier et Monge furent chargés de mesurer les bases terrestres avec une rigoureuse précision ; Borda et Coulomb étudièrent la longueur du pendule battant la seconde ; Lavoisier et Haüy déterminèrent le poids de l'eau distillée ; Tillet, Brisson et Vandermonde, dressèrent l'inextricable réseau des mesures anciennes. Durant cette période de prudence politique elle évitait de donner prise aux déclamations des clubs. Cependant, le 11 août 1792, le lendemain de la prise des Tuileries, le chimiste Antoine-François Fourcroy se leva et demanda qu'on lise la liste des académiciens pour y effectuer des radiations. La proposition fut repoussée ; mais, huit jours après, il la réitéra, faisant remarquer que la Société de médecine avait rayé plusieurs de ses membres émigrés ou notoirement convaincus d'incivisme et demandant le même traitement. Il lui fut répondu que « l'Académie ne doit pas prendre connaissance des principes de ses membres ni de leurs opinions politiques, le progrès des sciences étant son unique occupation » Lakanal essaya d'atténuer les effets de cette mesure en faisant décider que ses membres auraient le droit de s'assembler sans titre officiel dans le lieu ordinaire de leurs séances pour traiter des différents objets qui leur seraient déférés par la Convention. Les académiciens ne jugèrent néanmoins pas prudent de profiter de cette espèce de tolérance et se dispersèrent pour chercher, pour la plupart, à se faire oublier. Tous n'y réussirent pas et plus d'un fut atteint dans sa retraite par les tribunaux révolutionnaires, mais quelques-uns, dont Berthollet, restèrent en relation avec le Comité de salut public, pour y maintenir les droits de la science. Une évolution importante intervient en 1835 : sous l'influence de François Arago, paraissent les premiers numéros des Comptes rendus de l'Académie des sciences qui deviennent un instrument de première importance pour diffuser les travaux des scientifiques français et étrangers.

The issue is removed from a larger bound volume, and offered without the wrappers. Very Good. __+__ "From 1844 Fizeau and Foucault undertook a series of precise and mechanically ingenious optical experiments that would ultimately have a profound effect on the course of physics. By the middle of the nineteenth century, most scientists had come to accept the wave theory of light, formulated near the beginning of the century by Thomas Young and Augustin Fresnel. There remained, however, several gaps in the investigation of the experimental consequences of the theory. For example, in the study of interference fringes produced by two rays of light issuing from the same source, only several dozen fringes on each side of the central band had been observed."--Dictionary of Scientific Biography.

Fizeau's earliest work in science was an attempt to improve Daguerre's process and to make the heliograph an instrument of science. He showed that by covering the surface of the developed plate with a salt of gold, oxidation of the surface chemicals could be prevented and the contrasts between light and dark could be considerably heightened. He is often credited with the first use of bromine vapors to hasten the development of the photographic image, but this seems uncertain. Fizeau also introduced a widely used but unpatented method for turning a photograph into a photoetching."--Dictionary of Scientific Biography.

[++] "Unlike William Henry Fox Talbot's paper negative process, which allowed for multiple positives to be made from the same negative, the daguerreotype process produced only a single example with each use. In response to this limitation, several processes were developed to reproduce daguerreotypes in ink. Hippolyte Fizeau, a scientist and daguerreotypist, devised a method for etching directly into the copper daguerreotype plate, which created a printing plate but destroyed the daguerreotype in the process. The plate could then be used to make multiple prints on paper in permanent ink.

[++] "Gerhardt's most conspicuous contribution to the development of organic chemistry was his homologous series [the "Salicine" paper, #2]. His earliest publications were characterized by attempts to arrange organic compounds in series of increasing complexity: his "ladder of combustion," rising from water and carbon dioxide at the foot to albumin and fibrin at the summit, was analogue of the biologists' ladder of nature, another biological analogy was to underlie the application of his homologous series when they were refined in 1843: Gerhardt presupposed a principle of plenitude in organic chemistry which dictated that hitherto undocumented members of any series must exist. In addition, the concept of homology itself was of biological origin, deriving from Cuvier. For Gerhardt, however, it did not carry that structural connotation which it had for Cuvier. On this subject Gerhardt, simply asserted: "We call substances homologues when they exhibit the same chemical properties and when there are analogies in the relative proportions of their elements.Gerhardt generalized the concept of homologous series and introduced it into his Précis de chimie organique of 1844.  "-- Complete Dictionary of Scientific Biography (online).

Two French physicists, Jean Bernard Léon Foucault ( 1819 -1868 ) and Armand Hippolyte Louis Fizeau ( 1819 - 1896 ), attempted the determination for the finite speed of light; Fizeau did so singly in 1849 and again in 1850 together with Foucault but thereafter independently sought the speed of light in his famous 1851 Fizeau Water Experiment whenever light was transmitted thru a high velocity flowing medium such as water. In essence, therefore, Fizeau attempted to confirm Augustin - Jean Fresnel ( 1788 - 1827 )'s "velocity drag coefficient" for light transmitted thru high - velocity ( at least / approx. 30 m/sec ) flowing water. It should be thus noted that Augustin - Jean Fresnel, French mathematical theorist and experimenter in optical wave physics, is the original mathematical discoverer in 1818 of the velocity drag coefficient."--Dictionary of Scientific Biography.
