The aim of this investigation is the determination in absolute measure of the magnetic rotation in liquids at different temperatures, the effect of the chemical nature of the liquid on this property, and its correlation with other physical properties. In the present communication we propose to confine ourselves to a description of our apparatus and method of experiment, and to give the results obtained for carbon bisulphide and water, for sodium light, in a magnetic held of constant intensity, and at different temperatures between 0° and the ordinary boiling point.
