He alsoinvented the compound lighthouse lenses known by his name. F ‘His transcendent mathematical abilities enabled him to give the [undulatory] theory a generality unattained by Young. He grasped the theory in its entirety ; followed the ether into the hearts of crystals of the most complicated structure, and into bodies subjected to strain and pressure. He showed that the facts discovered by Malus, Arago, Brewster, and Biot were so many ganglia, so to speak, of its theoretic organism, deriving from it sustenance and explana- tion , . . Fresnel died, leaving behind him a name immortal in the annals of science.’—Prof. Tyndall. According to the ‘Times’ passim, the luminiferous ether was quite cavalierly treated at the York Meeting of the British Association, having been all but ousted by the newer charms of radio-activity and the transmutation of elements. 1420 FREZIER (Amédée Francois) La THEORIE et PRATIQUE de la CoupE des PIERRES et des Bois, pour la CONSTRUCTION des VOUTES, etc., ou Traité de Stéréotomie; Vols. 1-2, with vignettes and 69 folding plates, 2 vols. 4to. old calf gilt, with bookplate of Philip 2nd Earl Stanhope, PRS. 6s as y lj 37-8 1421 FRIEDLANDER (Paul) ForTSCHRITTE der THEERFARBENFABRIKATION und verwandter Industriezweige, an der Hand der systematisch geordneten und mit kritischen Anmerkungen versehenen Deutschen Reichs- Patente dargestellt, II.
