Photometric Researches

Photometric Researches: Made In The Years, 1872-1875 (1878) is a scientific book written by Charles Sanders Peirce. The book is a collection of research papers and experiments conducted by Peirce in the field of photometry, which is the study of the measurement of light. The experiments were carried out between the years 1872 and 1875, and the results were published in this book in 1878.The book is divided into several sections, each of which covers a different aspect of photometry. The first section deals with the measurement of the intensity of light, while the second section focuses on the measurement of the color of light. The third section is dedicated to the study of the polarization of light, and the fourth section covers the measurement of the speed of light.Throughout the book, Peirce presents his findings in a clear and concise manner, using mathematical equations and diagrams to explain his experiments and results. He also discusses the limitations of his experiments and suggests areas for further research.Overall, Photometric Researches: Made In The Years, 1872-1875 (1878) is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the field of photometry or the history of science. It provides a detailed account of the experiments conducted by Peirce and sheds light on the development of the field of photometry in the late 19th century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
