First Edition
Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. First Edition, First Printing. Quarto, contemporary marbled boards with green cloth spine, leather label with titles in gilt on spine. 27 pp. Extrait du Journal de l'Ecole imperiale Polytechnique, XXXV Cahier. Mild foxing and browning, spine glazed; very good copy. FIRST SEPARATE EDITION of de Sénarmont's theories which lead to the invention of the de Sénarmont Compensator. de Sénarmont's work is based largely on the work of his predecessor, Augustin Fresnel (1788 - 1827) and his theory of Double Refraction. In 1843, de Sénarmont began working on a project that he would work on for many years, criticizing the mathematical theory of double refraction formed by Fresnel. The result was this work, and the developement of the de Sénarmont Compensator. Senarmont also edited the works of Fresnel. Fresnel is best known as the inventor of the Fresnel lens, first adopted in lighthouses while he was a French commissioner of lighthouses, and found in many applications today.

First Edition
1st Edition. FIRST EDITION OF PROVOSTAYE & DESAINS PHOTOMETRIC EXPERIMENT & FORMULA FOR CALCULATING THE AMOUNT OF LIGHT TRANSMITTED THROUGH (OR REFLECTED FROM) A PILE OF PLATES. In optics, a set of flat transparent plates mounted at some angle to incident light functions as a simple polarization device. To date, most references that contain an expression for the degree of polarization of a pile of plates utilize the formula of Provostaye and Desains presented in this paper. The formula presented by French thermo-chemists Frédéric Hervé de La Provostaye and Paul Desains assumes an "infinite series of multiple reflections between all surfaces, i.e., multiple reflections within and between plates" (Bennett, Polarisation, 5.16). Provostaye and Desains "found the degree of polarization Pof the transmitted rays related to the intensities of the reflected and refracted rays and can be calculated by a formula with refractive index nof the slabs staked mtimes" (Polarization of Light, About Physics Portal). Their formula utilized the total transmission of the p-polarized component as well as the partial reflection of the s-polarized light. ALSO INCLUDED ARE FIRST EDITIONS OF TWO PAPERS BY SÉNARMONT: (1) "Mémoire sur la conductibilité superficielle des corps cristallisées pour l'électicité de tension" [On the superficial conductibility of crystallized bodies for electricity of tension], pp. 257-278. In this paper, Henri Hureau de Sénarmont established the directional dependence of surface conductivity in crystals. "He discovered this dependence by wrapping a crystal in tinfoil (which had been grounded) and by placing a metal point on the crystal surface at a point where a circular piece of the tinfoil had been cut out; the point was then connected to the positive conductor of an electrostatic machine, and the whole apparatus was placed under the glass bell of an air pump. At reduced pressure he was able to observe, in the dark, circular or elliptical figures of light, depending on the nature of the crystal" (DSB). His research "showed that different phenomena are subject to the symmetry of the crystal form" (Katzir, Piezoelectricity, 84). (2) "Note sur un Nouveau Polariscope" [On a new polariscope], pp. 279-282, Sénarmont describes a plate composed of four quartz prisms with its upper and lower faces normal to the optic axis. His invention "affords a very accurate means of determining the position of the plane of polarization of any source of light which is partially or wholly polarized" (Preston, The Theory of Light, 476). A Sénarmont polariscope suitable for optical maser work has even been constructed. ALSO INCLUDED are papers by Matteucci, Biot, Becquerel, and Pasteur. CONDITION & DETAILS: Paris: Victor Masson. (8.25 x 5.5 inches; 206 x 138mm). Bears one small number stamp on the rear of the title page and small stamp on the half title. [2], 504, [2]. 5 fold-out plates. Handsomely rebound in half-calf over marbled paper boards, gently scuffed at the edges for an â??aged' effect by the conservator; 4 gilt-ruled and tooled bands at the spine; gilt-lettered black morocco spine label. Tight and very solid. Occasional light toning within; largely very clean inside and out. Near fine condition.
(Paris, Fortin, Masson et Cie, 1840). 8vo. Without wrappers. Disbound. In: 'Annales de Chimie et de Physique', 2e Series, tome 73, Cahier 4. Pp. 337-446 a. 1 plate. (entire issue offered). Senarmont's paper: pp. 337-362. Some scattered brownspots. First appearance of Senarmont's first paper in crystallography, an importent paper in the history of the subject."Sénarmont?s enthusiasm for crystallography was first awakened by Fresnel. His importance is based on his demonstration of the directional dependency of the physical properties of crystals and on his experiments on the synthesis of minerals under conditions corresponding to those in nature. In his first paper, "Memoire sur les modifications que la reflexion spécularire á la surface des corps metalliques imprime á un rayon de lumiere polarisee" (1840), Sénarmont introduced, for the purpose of measuring phase differences, a thin layer of mica known as the 1/4 yps. plate."(DSB).
