Sir William Crookes fue uno de los pioneros en la investigación de fenómenos psíquicos, específicamente en las áreas de materialización y de mediumnidad. En 1870, William Crookes es parte de lo que se conoce como la Metapsíquica (pionera de la Parapsicología) con sus investigaciones sobre el espiritismo y los fenómenos mediúmnicos. Estudia en profundidad y con rigor a los grandes médiums físicos de la época, como Daniel Dunglas Home, Eusapia Palladino y Florence Cook, reconociendo la realidad de sus extraordinarias facultades. Uno de sus artículos más leídos sobre el tema es: Spiritualism Viewed by the Light of Modern Science . Escritos suyos sobre este tema es el libro titulado Nuevos Experimentos sobre la Fuerza Psíquica.Sir William Crookes (17 de junio de 1832- 4 de abril de 1919) fue un químico inglés, uno de los científicos más importantes en Europa del siglo XIX, tanto en el campo de la física como en el de la química. Estudió en el Colegio Real de Química de Londres. Fundó la revista de divulgación Chemical News, y fue editor del Quarterly Journal for Science. En 1863 entró a la Royal Society recibiendo la prestigiosa medalla para 1875. En 1888 recibe la Medalla Davy, fue nombrado caballero en 1897, la Medalla Copley en 1904 y en 1910 fue nombrado sir recibiendo la Orden del Mérito. Crookes también fue uno de los más importantes y destacados investigadores, y luego defensor, de lo que hoy día se conoce como Espiritismo Científico.1° DE ESTA EDITORIAL.RARO, ESCASO M. V. COMP. …

304 x 242 mm. 4to. Pages 891-918. [Entire volume: iv, [8], (1)-271, [1 blank]; iv, [2], 459-549, [1 blank], 583-638, 645, 691, [1 blank]; 717-721, [1 blank], 817-863, [1 blank], 891-988 pp.] 1 fig., tables. Early green cloth (ca. 1909), printed paper spine label; lightly rubbed. Ex library bookplate of the Plainfield Public Library, Plainfield, New Jersey, rubber stamps on edges. Very good. Beginning in the 1880s, Crookes occupied himself with the examination of the phosphorescent spectra produced by bombarding minerals with radiant matter, an effort which led him to speculate on the origin of the elements. Most substances gave continuous phosphorescent spectra, but the beautiful discontinuous spectra produced by rare earth minerals led him to suspect in 1881 that these ores contained many unknown elements. Crookes found that yttria could be separated by fractionation into five or more parts that were differentiated only by their slightly different solubilities in ammonia and by the different prominent lines in their phosphorescent spectra. It turned out later that Crookes had been totally misled by impurities in his samples. DNB, 1912-1921, pp. 136-137; DSB, III, pp. 474-482.…

8vo bifolium (159 x 102 mm), pp. [2]; paper embossed '7, Kensington Park Gardens, London. W.' and with Crookes's crest and rebus; sometime folded, in excellent condition.The scientist Sir William Crookes writes to congratulate the archaeologist and geologist John Evans on his imminent knighthood: 'I must take this opportunity the last perhaps in which I can call you "Mr" to offer you my sincere congratulations on the honour which I see is to be conferred upon you . . . . Science obtains so little recognition in this country that all men of science must rejoice at this signal exception to the rule. My wife wishes to add her congratulations to my own'. Sir John Evans (18231908) was treasurer of the Royal Society from 1878 to 1898.Sir William Crookes is credited with the discovery of the element thallium and was a pioneer of vacuum tubes. He was also president of the Society for Psychical Research. 'Crookeswas a great experimentalist. His material discoveries were of lasting and fundamental value. His ventures into psychical research were strongly criticized by contemporaries and certainly led him into some curious company, but they demonstrate that he thought all natural phenomena worthy of investigation, and that he refused to be bound by tradition and convention. AlthoughLord KelvinbelievedCrookesstarted more hares than any other scientific contemporary, he was a man of science in the broadest sense, an influential personality, and a doyen of his profession' (ODNB).Crookes's home at 7 Kensington Gardens, whence this letter was written, is thought to have been the first house in England to be lit by electricity.

"In a tedious and exacting series of measurements made between 1877 and 1881, Crookes showed how the radiometer confirmed Maxwell's prediction that the viscosity of a gas was independent of its pressure except at the highest exhaustions."

Two pages, 18vo, battered with closed tears and some grubbiness, but text clear and complete, as follows: "The authorities of the Royal Institution having kindly permitted me to report their lectures in full in the 'Chemical News'. I write to ask if you will allow me to send a reporter to the course which you are about to deliver 'On the Devonian Age of the World'. | Should you be kind enough to grant me this favour I shall be happy to submit the proofs to you for correction & will myself undertake to correct them from the unavoidable errors of reporting ." Note: Crookes founded "The Chemical News" in 1859. Pengelly's work on Kents Cavern (Devonian limestone) may well have figured in this course.…

Despite the fact that Reynolds and Crookes's X-ray apparatus is now in the Science Museum at South Kensington, Reynolds has no entry in the Oxford DNB, although Crookes's entry can be consulted. The two items are in good condition, lightly aged and worn. Both folded several times. Both 1p, 4to, and both signed 'Russell J. Reynolds'. ONE: Addressed to G. K. Menzies of the Royal Society of Arts. With recipient's red pencil tick. Having received his letter 'enclosing a copy of the list of Fellows of the Royal Society of Arts', he undertakes to send a copy of the 'revised list of the Members of the Rontgen Society', which will soon be published. 'I am sure the Members will appreciate any invitations you may send for meetings.' TWO: Addressed to the Secretary, Royal Society of Arts. With date stamp of receipt, and short shorthand note in pencil. He is grateful to 'the Council of the Society for nominating me to the Fellowship of the Royal Society of Arts. It will give me great pleasure to become a Fellow. Of course, I well know of its activities, but it is many years since I attended a meeting.' He thanks him for sending a copy of the programme of lectures, and asks for a 'specimen copy of the Journal'. He is returning the completed 'form of Fellowship'.…
