‎The first edition of Lorentz' three lectures was published by W.H. Keesom (1876-1956), with his footnotes and supplement, in 1914. “Lorentz' most important work was in optical and electromagnetic theory ... (he also) was strongly sympathetic to the general relativity theory, making fundamental contributions to it in 1914-1917... he was honored as the greatest cultural figure the Netherlands had produced in recent times” (DSB). Lorentz was rewarded the Noble price for physics in 1902, together with Pieter Zeeman. Dict. Scient. Biogr. VIII/487-500. ‎

‎First printing of these two fundamental papers, revealing a lasting result in the history of physics, as both authors INDEPENDENTLY OF EACH OTHER, discovered the mathematical formula for the dependence of refraction of light upon specific gravity. It is very interesting that they found the formula - now called the Lorenz-Lorentz Equation or Formula - with altogether different ways and methods. They both discovered the formula before 1880, L.V. Lorenz first, but, also independently, published their final versions in the same periodical, and in the same year (the 2 papers offered). - Parkinson ""Breakthroughs"" 1880 P.‎

‎First appearance of an importent paper on the aberration of light ""in which he concluded that Fresnel's view of the luminiferous ether was superior to Stokes's. Unlike Stokes, Fresnel in his theory of aberration assumed that the ether near yhe earth did not participate in its motion. Lorentz thought that the hypothesis of the complete transparancy of matter to the ether was implicit in Fresnel's whole theory.""(DSB VIII, p.493). Lorentz further shows that the results of the Michelson-Morley experiments did not vindicate the theory of Stokes as Michelson thought, and he demonstrates that the results can be explained by his own theory as a combination of Fresnel's and Stokes's theories.‎

‎First German edition (which originally appeared the same year in Danish in ""Oversigt over det Kongelige Danske Viidenskabernes Selskabs Forhandlinger"") of Lorenz' paper, which contains his important studies on the electromagnetic theory of light in which he - less than two years after, but independently of, Maxwell - found that LIGHT MIGHT BE INTERPRETED AS ELECTROMAGNETIC WAVES, and that his equations lead to the CORRECT VALUE FOR THE VELOCITY OF LIGHT. AND: First appearance of RIEMANN'S important paper (issued posthumously) in which he introduces the concept of ""RETARDED POTENTIALS"". Riemann suggests that Poisson's equation be modified by introducing terms which, though too small to be appreciable in ordinary experiments, would be capable of accounting for the propagation of electrical effects through space with a finite velocity c. This, so far as it goes, is in agreement with the view now accepted as correct.""The procedure which Lorenz followed was that of which Riemann had suggested in 1858 (the present paper by Riemann, which was published for the first time in 1867), namely, to modify the accepted formula of electrodynamics by introducing terms which, though too small to be appreciable in ordinary laboratory experiments, would be capable of accounting for the propagation of electrical effects through space with a finite velocity...The (Lorenz-) equations are, however, the fundamental equations of Maxwell's theory"" and therefore the theory of L. Lorenz is practically equivalent to that of Maxwell, so far as concerns the propagation of electromagnetic disturbances through free aether.....he suggested that ALL LUMINOUS VIBRATIONS MIGHT BE CONSTITUTED BY ELECTRIC CURRENTS, and hence that there was 'no longer any reason for maintaining the hypothesis of an aether, since we can admit that space contains sufficient ponderable matter to enable the disturbance to be propagated"" (Edmund Whittaker in ""A History of the Theories of Aether and Electricity I"", p. 267-70).""Maxwell seems to have considered the great paper of L. Lorenz on retarded potentials (published simultaneously in 1867 with a paper written in 1858 by B. Riemann on the same theme) as insufficiently supportive of his vision of a dynamical theory of theelectromagnetic field, whereas the present attitude is that Riemann and Lorenz made important contributions to the Maxwellian view.""

‎First appearance of this important paper in which the ""Lummer-Gehrcke interferometer"" was presented for the first time. ""Since Lummer fringes are the result of differences in path length of many wavelengths, Lummer arrived at the idea, in 1901, of developing the plane parallel plates into a spectroscope of the highest resolution. This device had the advantage of possessing greater resolving power than the interferometer produced in 1897 by Fabry and Perot. The considerable drawback of low luminous intensity, caused by the glancing incidence of the light, was eliminated in 1902 by Gehrcke, who cemented a prism to the plate with Canada balsam. The new apparatus, for which Lummerproposed the name Lummer-Gehrcke interference spectroscope, proved to be an excellent tool for spectroscopy and superior to the simple line grating."" (DSB)Lummer-Gehrcke interferometer is a multiple-beam interferometer similar to the Fabry-Perot etalon, but using light at a steep angle of incidence. The interferometer consists of a long plate of glass or quartz, with faces that are polished accurately flat and parallel. Light bounces back and forth inside the plate, striking the faces at an angle just below the critical angle as it propagates along. Because of the steep angle of incidence, nearly all of the light is reflected, but a tiny fraction leaks out on each bounce.‎
