Extract

The author of this paper states in it his belief, that the curious fact formerly announced to the Society of the greater permeability of mica, laminated by heat, to heat of low temperature, contrary to the usual character of the same substance (a property which he has since extended (see Proceedings, Jan. 1840) to changes of mechanical conditions of surface), may very probably explain, as M. Melloni anticipates, the difference in point of fact long contested between them as to the equal or unequal polarizability of heat from different sources.
