Wollaston (1766-1828) praktizierte bis 1800 als Arzt in London und widmete sich danach seinen Studien zu Chemie, Kristallographie und Physik. In diesen 1802 veröffentlichten Studien zur Messung der Refraktion des Lichts beobachtete er erstmals im Spektrum der Sonne sieben dunkle Linien, die Absorptionslinien, die nach weiteren Forschungen Fraunhofers (1814) als Referenzpunkte, im Vergleich von Spektren untereinander, Bedeutung erlangten. Tls. etw. gebräunt u. fleckig. Beide Schriften zusammen im mod. Lwd.-Kassette mit Rsch. - Exlibris. (750/751).
