Edition originale
First edition. EVANS 32 - THE WAVE THEORY OF LIGHT. First edition of Huygens' path-breaking exposition of his wave or pulse theory of light. Huygens had developed his theory of light in 1676 and 1677, and "completed the Traitéin 1678, but left it unpublished for twelve years, until stimulated by the appearance of Isaac Newton's Principia (1687) and by a visit with Newton in 1689. Huygens conceived of light as an irregular series of shock waves or pulses proceeding with very great but finite velocity through the ether, a medium consisting of uniformly minute, elastic particles pressed closely together. Using the ether as the medium of light wave propagation, he showed that all points of a wave front originate partial waves, and thereby generate further wave motion; light, therefore, consists not of a transference of matter, but rather of a 'tendency to move'" ().Huygens was able to explain reflection and refraction using this theory, of which he became completely convinced in August, 1677, when he found that it explained the double refraction in Iceland spar. But he could not explain the phenomenon of polarization, which he discovered. In the second part of the work, the Discours de la cause de la pesanteur, written in 1669, Huygens expounded his vortex theory of gravity, a purely mechanistic theory that contrasted markedly with Newton's notion of a universal attracting force intrinsic to matter. Indeed, Huygens added to the original treatise of 1669 a review of Newton's theory, rejecting it out of hand because of the impossibility of explaining it by any mechanical principle or law of motion. Huygens' work fell into oblivion during the following century, but his theory of light was confirmed at the beginning of the 19th century by Thomas Young, who used it to explain optical interference, and by Jean-Augustin Fresnel a few years later. Modern quantum physics has reconciled Newton's and Huygens' theories in discerning both corpuscular and wave characteristics in the properties of light. There are two issues of the Traité, one with the author's initials on the title, identified by Norman as the probable first issue, and another with Huygens' name in full on the title (as here). Most of the large paper presentation copies, including those of Horblit and Norman and those given by Huygens to Newton and Locke, are in the first state, but the Macclesfield large paper copy was in the second state - the Macclesfield catalogue notes that the second state title is not a cancel, so the whole of the first gathering must have been reprinted. Provenance: Lemery (black stamp on endpaper); Jules Violle (blue stamp on same endpaper); Librairie Thomas-Scheler (label on another endpaper); Landmarks of Science & Medicine from the Library of Andras Gedeon. "Light, according to Huygens, is an irregular series of shock waves which proceeds with very great, but finite, velocity through the ether. This ether consists of uniformly minute, elastic particles compressed very close together. Light, therefore, is not an actual transference of matter but rather of a 'tendency to move,' a serial displacement similar to a collision which proceeds through a row of balls. Because the particles of the ether lie not in rows but irregularly, a colliding particle will transfer its tendency to move to all those particles which it touches in the direction of its motion. Huygens therefore concluded that new wave-fronts originate around each particle that is touched by light and extend outward from the particle in the form of hemispheres. Single wave-fronts originating at single points are infinitely feeble; but where infinitely many of these fronts overlap, there is light - that is, on the envelope of the fronts of the individual particles. This is 'Huygens' principle'. "About 1676 Huygens found the explanation of reflection and refraction by means of this principle; his theory connected the index of refraction with the velocities of light in different media. He became completely convinced of the value of his principle on 6 August 1677, when he found the explanation of the double refraction in Iceland spar by means of his wave theory . "Although the completeness of Huygen's analysis is impressive, he was unable to comprehend the effect that we now recognize as polarization, which occurs if the refracted ray is directed through a second crystal of which the orientation is varied. Huygens described this effect in his first studies on the crystal, but he could never explain it. These results are included in the Traité de la lumiére, which was completed in 1678; Huygens read parts of it to the Academy in 1679" (DSB). Huygens' "entire theory is actually devoted to the description of the motion of a pulse through elastic media. Since such a kinematic approach would hardly be conceivable without a finite speed of propagation, Huygens opens the Traité by presenting Roemer's observations establishing a finite speed of light and rejecting Descartes' 'incomprehensible' view that it is infinite. He proceeds to construct what appears to be a conventional billiard-ball model of the aether, but the model gradually vanishes and only the kinematic requirements remain. Drawing upon his earlier investigations of impact, Huygens sets just a single condition upon the aether for it to serve for the propagation of light, namely, that it consists of elastic particles. He is then able to show that the velocity of light will be finite and uniform (or independent of the strength of the source) and that the principle of superposition will hold, for in collisions of elastic bodies 'one and the same particles of matter can serve for many waves coming from different directions.' Huygens then uses his billiard-ball aether to motivate his most brilliant contribution to optics, 'Huygens' principle' . [which] consist of three assumptions: (i) each point of the wave front is the centre of particular waves; (ii) the wave front is determined by the common tangent to the extremities.

4to, pp. (viii), 124; 1 leaf (divisional title), pp. 125?128, (2) contents, 129?180. General title printed in red and black, printer?s woodcut device on both titles, many diagrams in the text. Contemporary vellum. Old library stamp on title, old typographical Florentine bookplate on front pastedown; bookplate of David L. Dilaura. Paper very slightly browned except for signature R, but a fine copy. FIRST EDITION. One of the great classics in the literature of optics. In this book Huygens first established the wave or pulse theory of light, in opposition to the corpuscular theory advanced by Newton. He propounded what is now known as ?Huygens? principle? which enabled him to explain the reflection and refraction of light on the basis of his undulatory theory. Chapter V contains Huygens? analysis of the double refraction which Erasmus Bartholin had observed in crystals of Iceland spar in 1670. He described the polarisation of light, but was unable to explain it. Huygens completed the Traité in 1678, but chose not to publish it until prompted to do so by the publication of Newton?s Principia in 1687 and by a meeting with Newton in June of 1689. Huygens? work remained unaccepted and in opposition to Newton for over a century until Thomas Young used it to explain optical interference. Modern physicists fuse both theories. The second part of this book, Discours de la Cause de la Pesanteur, contains Huygens? mechanical explanation of gravity. Horblit 54. Dibner 146. Evans, Epochal Achievements, 32.

No priority has been established, but the issue with his initials only is more likely to be the first.
