First printing of Fresnel's importent memoir on the aberration effect from a moving earth.""In the same year in which the memoir on diffraction was submitted, Fresnel published an investigation of the influence of the earth's motion on light (the paper offered).....if we suppose the aether surrounding the earth to be at rest and unaffected by the earth's motion of the telescope, which we may suppose directed to the true place of the star, and the image of the star will therefore be displaced from the central spider-line at the focus by a distance equal to that which the earth describes while the light is travelling through the telescope. This agrees with what is actually observed.""(Whittaker ""A History of the Theories of Aether and Electricity"" I, pp. 108-9).

P., Crochard, 1818, un volume in 8 relié en demi-maroquin vert, dos orné de filets (reliure de l'époque), 448pp., 1 planche dépliante ; LA LETTRE DE FRESNEL A ARAGO ET LA NOTE ADDITIONNELLE OCCUPENT LES PAGES 57 À 66 ET 286 À 287
--- EDITION ORIGNALE ---- BEL EXEMPLAIRE ---- Fresnel apporta la preuve que la théorie ondulatoire peut seule expliquer les phénomènes d'interférences lumineuses ---- "Fresnel succeeded fully in attaining his explicit goal, the establishment of the wave conception of light. Not long after his death scientific opinion definitely shifted in favor of waves and opened up the pathway leading to the deeper insights of Maxwell. In troad context Fresnel's work can be viewed as the first successful assault on the theory of imponderables and a major influence on the development of nineteenth-century energetics".
