| Title | Paper, 'Dispersion equivalents. Part I' by J H [John Hall] Gladstone |
| Date | 1887 |
| Description | Gladstone writes: 'The idea of refraction equivalents has become familiar to those who work on the borderland of optics and chemistry, and the value of that property as a means of investigating the chemical structure of compounds is becoming more and more recognised. There is a similar property, perhaps equally valuable for the same object, which has attracted little attention hitherto; I allude to the equivalent of dispersion. During the last twelve months, however, I have collated old measurements of the length of the spectrum, whether made by myself or by others, and have added many new determinations, and I am now in a position to submit some of the results to the Society.'
