To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
When plates of the^l'^'o™™* first and last of these minerals, formed by their natu- j^ation. ral cleavage, are placed in a beam of polarized light, and the light transmitted by them is then analyzed, by being passed through a doubly-refracting prism or thrown on a screen after reflection at the critical angle from glass, splendid colours are the result. These coloursvarywith the thickness of the plate, with its in- clination to theincidentlight, and, whatis most remark- able, they vary in inten...sity by merely turning the plate ofselenite round in its own plane. When only this last motion is made, there are two positions of the plate where no colour results, the light passing through un- changed; and these positions are at right angles to one another. At all intermediate angles colours appear, the light is said to be depolarized, and this depolarization is most complete when the plate is moved 45" from the difficulties inseparable from the biographical system which I have adopted. My intention was to have thrown together the labours of Malus, Fresnel, and Arago into one section.
