FARADAY, Michael. EXPERIMENTAL RELATIONS OF GOLD (AND OTHER METALS) TO LIGHT - The Bakerian Lecture in The Philosophical Magazine, Fourth Series, Vol. 14, No. 95, December 1857 pp. 401-417 and No. 96, Supplementary Number, December 1857 pp. 512-539.
London: Taylor and Francis, 1857. Paperback Very Good+
Offered are two Very Good+ issues of The Philosophical Magazine in original printed wrappers with mild soil covers and edges, cover edge wear. Pages uncut. 8vos.
This is Michael Faraday's last contribution to the Royal Society which described optical investigations on very thin films of gold and on ruby-colored suspensions of ultra-microscopic particles of golf in various liquids. Faraday's observations are a very early study in colloid chemistry, but its importance was not realized for another forty years. Faraday developed late (as is unusual with those with a supreme genius), and continued at a high level of creativity and productivity throughout his later life. This paper was written in his sixty-sixth year. The first appearance of this work in print occurred in the "Philosophical Transactions." (Poggendorf, I, col. 720; Williams "Michael Faraday," pp. 472-473).

This paper (One the So-Called Willow-Leaf Markings on the Sun) contains wonderful observations and drawings of sun-spots by one of England's most dedicated observers and talented artists, which shows the day-to-day rapid changes in sun-spots. De la Rue's major contribution was to astronomy... De la Rue took up astronomy with the purpose of producing more accurate and detailed pictures of the nearby heavenly bodies. He, too, was an excellent draftsman and his drawings of Saturn, the moon, and the sun are introduced into the polishing and figuring of the thirteen-inch reflecting telescope that he built for his own observatory at Canonbury. His real ability, however, was revealed only when he turned his talents to application of photography to astronomy. He was able to make stereoscopic plates of the moon's surface, which brought to light details never before noted. He invented a photoheliographic telescope that permitted the sun's surface to be mapped photographically. Applying the stereoscopic methods he had used on the moon, he showed in 1861 that sun spots are depressions in the sun's atmosphere, thus verifying a suggestion made in the eighteenth century by Alexander Wilson of Glasgow. (DSB Vol. IV, p. 19; Houzeau & Lancaster, II, col. 1032)
