2. Lectures on Polarized Light, together with a Lecture on the Microscope. 
By the late Jonathan Pereira, Esq., M.D.; second edition, greatly enlarged, 
from materials left by the Author. Edited by the Rev. Baden Powell, M.A,, 
V.P.R.S. London: Longman, Brown, Green, and Longmans, 1854. 
We find in these Lectures many valuable practical facts that illustrate well 
the great value of science of a high order. The author shows us that the 
study of polarized light not only furnishes us with an intimate knowledge 
of the nature and properties of substances ; but also its applicability to the 
detection of adulteration of goods, drugs, and chemicals; for example, the 
determination of the commercial value of saccharine juices—the nature 
of changes which occur in certain chemical and vital processes, in which 
ordinary chemical analysis fails—the detecting of the existence of certain 
diseases—and its use to the mariner in aiding him to avoid shoals and 
rocks. These Lectures are extremely valuable to the student of natural 
philosophy.
