On the change of refrangibility of light. 2 Tle. in 1 Bd. In: Philosophical Transactions, Cambridge 1852-53. 4°. Mit 1 Stahlst.-Taf. u. 2 Textabb. S. 463-562, 385-396. Mod. Hldr. in Lwd.-Schuber.

Mit hs. Verf.-Widm.: "from the author". - This memoir, in which Stokes coined the word fluorescence, "forms a landmark in optical science... and really indicated the line of reasoning which has become so fruitful and suggestive in his (Stokes') own hands and those of other eminent natural philosophers... The whole theory of light entered upon a new phase" (Merz). Stokes solved the problem of the absorption and emission of light, and gave the clue to all subsequent attempts to deal with the difficult problem of the interaction of the ether and ponderable matter. - Tls. etw. knickspurig, erstes u. le. Bl. leimschattig, Tafel stockfleckig, vereinzelt kl. Randläs. - (1894)
