WHEATSTONE, Charles. "On the Prismatic Decomposition of Electric Light" in "Notices of Communication to the British Association for the Advancement of Science at Dublin in 1835", published as a part of the "Report of the Fifth Meeting for the British Association for the Ad-vancement of Science held in Dublin in 1835." London, John Murray, 1836. Lvi, 255; viii, 132, 37pp. Newly rebound in a good, strong, du-rable cloth, with new endpapers and pastedowns.
