(28 x 21,5 cm). 2 Bll., SS. 230-420, 6 Bll. Mit 11 Kupfertafeln. Moderner Pappband im Stil der Zeit. Erste Ausgabe. - "Wollaston bildet das Objektiv der Camera obscura dadurch aus, daß er an der rohen Form der Bikonvex- oder Plankonvexlinse ohne bestimmten Blendenort, wie sie durch Jahrhunderte bestanden hatte, durchgreifende Änderungen vornimmt, der Einzellinse die Form eines Meniskus mit der hohlen Fläche nach außen gibt und eine bestimmte Blendenstellung vorschreibt. Sein Objektiv stellt eine periskopische Lupe dar" (Darmstaedter). - Vereinzelt gering stockfleckig, sonst wohlerhalten. - DSB 14, 486; Darmstaedter 311.…

(28,5 x 23,5 cm). SS. 381-386. Mit 1 Kupfertafel. Moderne Broschur, unbeschnitten. (Aus: Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society). Erste Ausgabe dieser bedeutenden Arbeit. - "Wollaston schlägt eine Methode zur Messung des Brechungsindex von festen Körpern vor, die darauf beruht, daß man die zu untersuchende Substanz mit einem Prisma von bekanntem, aber größerem Brechungsindex als dem der zu untersuchenden Substanz in Berührung bringt und durch das Prisma den Eintritt der Totalreflexion beobachtet, den die an der Trennungsfläche reflektierten Strahlen erleiden" (Darmstaedter). "In 1802 he presented convincing experimental support for Huygens' wave theory. Using the technique he had invented, he measured the refractive index of Iceland spar in different directions and showed that for different planes of incidence the extraordinary ray was refracted exactly as Huygens' theory predicted" (DSB). - Leicht stockfleckig, sonst gut erhalten. - DSB, 14, 486; Darmstaedter S. 283.…

(29 x 23,5 cm). SS. 365-386. Mit 1 Kupfertafel. Moderne Broschur, unbeschnitten. (Aus: Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society). Erste Ausgabe. - "In 1802 Wollaston introduced the important method of determining refractive indices by total internal reflection. The alternative method of minimum deviation, however, continued to be used in the early part of the century. His observations on an impure spectrum led him to conclude that there were only four colors in the solar spectrum. This influenced Thomas Young, who was led by it to alter his own theory of color vision. At the same time Wollaston discovered the dark lines in the solar spectrum, later to be known as Fraunhofer lines. Also in 1802 he presented convincing experimental support for Huygens' wave theory. Using the technique he had invented, he measured the refractive index of Iceland spar in different directions and showed that for different planes of incidence the extraordinary ray was refracted exactly as Huygens' theory predicted. He did not commit himself, however, to a firm statement of belief in the wave theory. This later brought Wollaston charges of timidity and undue caution; but there was no reason why he should have gone further, particularly since Young's impressive evidence had not yet appeared" (DSB). - Gering fleckig, sonst gut erhalten. - DSB 14, 486.…
