See also:DELARUE, See also:GERVAIS (1751–1835) , See also:French See also:historical investigator, formerly regarded as one of the See also:chief authorities on See also:Norman and Anglo-Norman literature, was a native of See also:Caen. He received his See also:education at the university of that See also:town, and was ultimately raised to the See also:rank of See also:professor. His first historical enterprise was interrupted by the French Revolution, which forced him to take See also:refuge in See also:England, where he took the opportunity of examining a vast See also:mass of See also:original documents in the See also:Tower and elsewhere, and received much encouragement, from See also:Sir See also:Walter See also:Scott among others. From England he passed over to See also:- HOLLAND

The See also:rest of his See also:life was spent in his native town, where he was chosen See also:principal of his university. While in England he had been elected a member of the Royal Society of Antiquaries; and in his own See also:country he was made a corresponding member of the See also:Institute, and was enrolled in the See also:Legion of See also:Honour. Besides numerous articles in the See also:Memoirs of the Royal Society of See also:London, the Memoires de l'Institut, the Memoires de la Societe d'See also:Agriculture de Caen, and in other periodical collections, he published separately Essais historiques sur See also:les Bardes, les Jongleurs, et les Trouveres normands et anglo-normands (3 vols., 1834), and Recherches historiques sur la See also:Prairie de Caen (1837); and after his See also:death appeared Memoires historiques sur le palinod de Caen (1841), Recherehes sur la tapisserie de See also:Bayeux (1841), and Nouveaux Essais historiques sur la Dille de Caen (1842). In all his writings he displays a strong partiality for everything Norman, and rates the Norman See also:influence on French and See also:English literature as of the very highest moment.

James See also:Nasmyth, he constructed in 185o a 13-in. reflecting See also:telescope, mounted first at Canonbury, later at Cranford, See also:Middlesex, and with its aid executed many drawings of the See also:celestial bodies of singular beauty and fidelity. His chief See also:title to fame, however, is his pioneering See also:work in the application of the See also:art of See also:photography to astronomical See also:research.

Excited to emulation and employing the more rapid wet-See also:collodion See also:process, he succeeded before See also:long in obtaining exquisitely defined lunar pictures, which remained unsurpassed until the See also:appearance of the See also:Rutherfurd photographs in 1865. In 1854 he turned his attention to See also:solar physics, and for the purpose of obtaining a daily photographic See also:representation of the See also:state of the solar See also:surface he devised the photo-See also:heliograph, described in his See also:report to the British Association, " On Celestial Photography in England " (1859), and in his Bakerian Lecture (Phil. Trans. vol. clii. pp. 333-416). See also:Regular work with this See also:instrument, inaugurated at See also:Kew by De la Rue in 1858, was carried on there for fourteen years; and was continued at the Royal See also:Observatory, See also:Greenwich, from 1873 to 1882. The results obtained in the years 1862–1866 were discussed in two memoirs, entitled " Researches on Solar Physics," published by De la Rue, in See also:conjunction with Professor See also:Balfour See also:- STEWART, ALEXANDER TURNEY (1803-1876)

In 186o De la Rue took the photo-heliograph to See also:Spain for the purpose of photographing the See also:total solar See also:eclipse which occurred on the 18th of See also:July of that year. This expedition formed the subject of the Bakerian Lecture already referred to. The photographs obtained on that occasion proved beyond doubt the solar See also:character of the prominences or red flames, seen around the See also:limb of the moon during a solar eclipse.
