H. Lloyd, Lectures on the Wave-theory of Light, Dublin: Milliken, 1841, PartII, LectureIII, p. 26. The same description was retained in the "second edition", published under the title Elementary Treatise on the Wave-theory of Light (London: Longman, Brown, Green, Longmans, & Roberts, 1857; p.136), and in the "third edition" (London: Longmans, Green, & Co., 1873; p.167), which appeared in the same year as Maxwell's Treatise on Electricity and Magnetism.
That age was given by Arago in his elegy (Arago, 1857, p.402) and widely propagated (Encyclopædia Britannica, 1911; Buchwald 1989, p.111; Levitt 2013, p.24; etc.). But the reprint of the elegy at the end of Fresnel's collected works bears a footnote, presumably by Léonor Fresnel, saying that "eight" should be "five or six", and regretting "the haste with which we had to collect the notes that were belatedly requested for the biographical part of this speech" (Fresnel, 1866–70, vol.3, p.477n). Silliman (1967, p.9n) accepts the correction. Buchwald, J.Z.

Kneller 1911, p.147. Kneller interprets the quote as referring to Augustin; but Verdet (in Fresnel, 1866–70, vol.1, pp.xcviii–xcix), cited by Silliman (1967, p.8), gives it a different context, referring to Louis's academic success.
