Erstausgabe
281 x 226 mm. 4to. Pages (157)-164; (165)-169. 1 engraved plate. Dis-bound. Very good. FIRST EDITION. In late 1815 Brewster published his recognition that Biot and Laplace had elaborated force theories to account for double refraction. In this second paper, Brewster promulgated his discovery that heat and mechanical stress could produce double refraction in glass. Thus, the application of external pressure could realign the forces internal to a piece of glass. Force, to Brewster, seemed responsible for light-matter interaction.

This paper contains one of many statements of Brewster's most famous law; Brewster's law, which connects refractive index with angle of polarization. In this paper Brewster described for the first time a teinometer, an instrument designed to ascertain the elasticity of bodies.

287 x 228 mm. 4to. Pages (285)-302. Tables; occasional foxing. Dis-bound. Very good. FIRST EDITION. Brewster parted company with Newton and the traditional projectile theory of light by rejecting a central role for short-range forces in accounting for inflection. His optical research was directed to discovering the interaction of light and different forms of matter. From the start of his research career these interactions were conceived in terms of particles and forces and his subsequent experience only increased his commitment to this paradigm. His important work on polarization and double refraction was largely conceived in terms of differential forces acting on the ordinary and extraordinary rays. Moreover, his commitment to the corpuscular nature of light drew considerable strength from chemistry since he firmly believed that it would be "by the alliance . . . of Chemistry with Optics, that great revolutions are yet to be effected in Physics." See page 286 of this article. See: Cantor, "Brewster on the nature of light," in: Morrison-Low and Christie, 'Martyr of science', p. 71.

227 x 148 mm. 8vo. 4 pp. Self-wraps. Very good. The astronomical spectroscopy of the nineteenth century based on Brewster's angle has evolved through into the microwave and the modern optical lasers of today. David Brewster's important contributions to the knowledge of the polarization of light include the discovery that compression in one direction causes an isotropic solid to exhibit double refraction. He showed that complete polarization occurred (only one polarization was reflected) when the reflected and refracted rays were perpendicular, a phenomenon which occurs at what is now known as Brewster's angle. Wilhelm Karl Haidinger (1795-1871) after his education in Vienna, visited George Cuvier and J.-B. Biot in Paris and George Greenough, David Brewster and Thomas Allan in Edinburgh. In 1823 Haidinger moved to Edinburgh in order to arrange Allan's mineral collection. Under Brewster's influence Haidinger studied the absorption of light in crystals and he designed a simple and effective instrument named Haidinger's dichroscope. Observations on the connection between absorption and the direction of polarization of transmitted and reflected light led in 1848 to a well-founded theory bearing on Babinet's rule that a greater absorption of the whole spectrum of visible light corresponds to a higher index of refraction. See: DSB, VI, p. 19.
