Extract

I have given the name of Radiant Spectrum to a phenomenon which I discovered in 1814, and which I described to this Society in the early part of that year.

It will be understood from fig. 1, which represents the brilliant radiation which surrounds a very small image of the sun, when it is formed either by reflection or refraction, or otherwise.
