Auguste Bravais, “Sur les propriétés géométriques des assemblages de points régulièrement distribués dans l'éspace.”, in in Comptes Rendus hebdomadaires des séances de l’Académie des Sciences", Paris, Bachelier, 1848, volume 27, no. 24, with the Bravais paper occupying pp 601-604 in the weekly issue of pp (593)-616, offered as an extract (without the original wrappers) of the weekly issue from a larger bound volume.
“In geometry and crystallography, a Bravais lattice, studied by Auguste Bravais (1850), is an infinite array of discrete points in three dimensional space generated by a set of discrete translation operations.”--”Bravais Lattice” from Wiki
“August Bravais...begins examination of the rotations and translations of crystals into themselves, in the process advancing the studies both of crystalline structure and group theory”-- Claire Parkinson, Breakthroughs (1848)
“In an exhaustive study of the properties of lattices (1848), Bravais derived the fourteen possible arrangements of points in space. The Bravais lattices effectively combined earlier concepts of periodicity with Haüy’s law of rational intercepts.”--Dictionary of Scientific Biography
