  • Capocci (1850). "M. Quetelet lit extraits suivants d'une lettre de M. Capocci, astronome à Naples" [Mr. Quetelet reads the following extracts from a letter from Mr. Capocci, an astronomer at Naples]. Bulletins de l'Académie Royale des Sciences, des Lettres et des Beaux-arts de Belgique (in French). 17, pt. 2: 299–302. From p. 300: "Il agit d'obtenir, à peu de frais, de grands mirroirs parfaits, même paraboliques. […] de manière à rassembler parfaitement les rayons réfléchis en un point, … " (It is a matter of obtaining, at low cost, large perfect mirrors, even parabolic [ones]. I think that if a suitable rotational movement were given to a circular canister [that was] filled with mercury, and [if] this movement were well executed and uniform, it would end up by making the surface of the liquid so arranged as to perfectly collect the reflected rays into a point, … )
  • During the winter of 1850, the Dutch astronomer Friedrich Wilhelm Christian Krecke (1812 – 1882) performed Capocci's proposed experiment: he suspended a bowl of mercury by a twisted cord; as the cord unwound, the mercury adopted the shape of a paraboloid. The mirror produced impressive reflections of a gas chandelier. See: Krecke (1851). "M. Quetelet fait part d'une lettre qu'il a reçu de M. Krecke, …" [Mr. Quetelet published part of a letter that he received from Mr. Krecke, …]. Bulletins de l'Académie Royale des Sciences, des Lettres et des Beaux-arts de Belgique (in French). 18, pt. 1: 363–365.
