Abstract
In the year 1845 Faraday discovered that if plane polarized light passes through certain media, and these media be acted on by a sufficiently powerful magnetic force, the plane of polarization is rotated. About the year 1853 M. Verdet commenced a long and exhaustive examination of the subject, and his first result was published in Ann. de Chimie et de Phys. 3 sér. tom. xli.
