---- EDITION ORIGINALE ---- "Dupré entered the Ecole Normale Supérieure in Paris in 1826, gained first place in science in the agrégation of 1829, and immediately took a post at the Collège royal in Rennes. There he taught mathematics and physical science. In 1847, he was appointed to the chair of mathematics in the Faculty of Science in Rennes. His last post, from 1866, was as dean of the faculty there... Dupré's scientific career fell into two parts. In the first, which lasted from his years at the Ecole Normale until about 1859, he contributed to several branches of mathematics and physics... During the second period, which covered the remaining ten years of his life, Dupré concerned himself exclusively with the mechanical theory of heat, his main interest being the implications of the theory for matter on the molecular scale. He made an important contribution to the dissemination in France of the newly discovered principles of thermodynamics in nearly forty communications to the Academy and in a successful advanced textbook Théorie mécanique de la chaleur (1869)".

---- EDITION ORIGINALE ---- BEL EXEMPLAIRE ---- "Verdet was one of the outstanding physics teachers of mi-nineteenth-century France, holding professorships at the Ecole normale supérieure, the Ecole Polytechnique and the Faculté des sciences in Paris. He introduced into the French scientific world the thermodynamics of Joule, Clausius, Helmholtz and William Thompson and conducted important experiments on the effects of a magnetic field on plane-polarized light. Verdet educated his colleagues as well as his students. French physicists of his time were ignorant of much of the research going on outside their country, so Verdet undertook to publish abstracts of the most important articles appearing in foreing journals. From 1852 to 1864 every volume of the Annales de chimie contained ten or more of this synopses... In 1864/1865 he taught the new thermodynamics and the notes from his course were compiled by two students and published as La théorie mécanique de la chaleur, a textbook which has become a classic... His early research included a series of experiments on electromagnetic induction and a theoretical treatise on the image-forming power of lenses. In his major effort Verdet investigated the phenomenon now known as the "Faraday effect"... He studied the dependence of the Faraday effect on the strength of the magnet causing the rotation, the medium in which the light is traveling, and the color of the light. he found that the magnetic power of rotation was directly proportional to the square of the wavelengh of the light and related the index of refraction of the material. In recognition of the importance of this work a measure of the power of magnetic rotation was named "Verdet's constant". His entire scientific output is collected in Oeuvres de Verdet, 8 vols (Paris 1868/1872) which includes all his scientific papers and the lecture notes from his courses".(DSB XIII pp. 614/615)**5176/L3/L7AR

---- EDITION ORIGINALE ---- "In 1836, Combes became ingenieur en chef des mines ; until 1842, he directed the regulatory agency for all steam apparatus in the Seine department and also sat on the central committee for steam machines. As secretary of this committee, he drafted the order that required certification for all steam machines...". (DSB III p. 358) ---- Réunion en un volume des articles publiés par Combes dans le bulletin de la société d'encouragement : En réunissant en un volume les articles que j'ai publiés dans le bulletin de la société d'encouragement, après les avoir revus avec soin, je poursuis le but que je me suis proposé de vulgariser parmi les ingénieurs et les constructeurs de machines une théorie à laquelle ils ne peuvent plus longtemps demeurer étrangers et qui doit enfin passer dans l'enseignement de nos écoles... Elle met en lumière les pertes énormes de chaleur qui ont lieu dans nos machines à feu, même les plus perfectionnées, montre les progrès qui restent à faire, assigne leur limite et conduira sans doute à les réaliser .
