(Berlin, G. Reimer, 1835) 4to. No wrappers as extracted from"Journal für die reine und angewandte Mathematik. Hrsg. von A.L. Crelle", Bd. 13. Jacobi's paper: pp. 55-78. First appearance of an importent paper on the functions of a complex variable.In an importent paper of 1835 (the item offered) Jacobi showed that a single-valued function of a single variable which for every finite value of the argument has the character of a rational function (that is, is a meromorphic function) cannot have more than two periods, the ratio of the periodics is necessarily a nonreal number. This discovery opened up a new direction of work, namely, the problem of finding all double periodic functions." (Morris Kline). …

First appearance of du Verneys rather famous description and dissection of two children linked together by the lower abdomen and lacking an anus.Jacques du Verney was "medicin ordinaire du roi". During a conference open to the public he exhibited a "monstre double" to a crowd of Parisians and provincials in order to refute the fortuitous and haphazard accidentalist theories.According to Verney, the very form of this monster leaves little doubt as to God'øs agency in nature.the monstrous fetus are read as a sign of celestial "Telos".

Paris, Freres Guerin, 1753. Small 8vo. Cont. full mottled calf. Top of spine with wear. Raised bands, richly gilt spine. Some wear to titlelabels. Small tear to hinges at upper compartment (hinges not loosening). Spine a little rubbed. Small loss of leather at at lower right corner of frontcover. XXIII,444 pp. and 8 large folded engraved plates (showing apparatus and experiments with electricity). Internally clean, printed on good paper. From the library of le Comte de Caumia Baillenx, "en son Chateau d'Andrain" and with his mongram, blindtooled on both covers. In this work Nollet, the discoverer of the theory of double flux, describes, among other experiments, the famous experiments with the Leyden jar. "The author lay down a theory, according to which the cause of electrical phenomena is the effluence and affluence of a subtile fluid which is everywhere present. Some interesting experiments are described with vacuum tubes also on the influence of electric charges on the growth of plants." (Wheeler, 355, but not listing this edition). - Poggendorff II:296."Nollet's system (effluence and affluence) was much superior to earlier theories of double flux. such as Moliere's or Hauksbee's. A cheif difficulty with them (as with the theory of pulsating atmospheres) had been to explain why attraction occurs first.follwed by contact and then repulsion. Nollet answered that the effluent and affluent flows differ not only in direction, but in velocity and spatial distribution as well.The effluent stream consists of many jets, each of which spreads out into a cone with apex at one of the scattered exit pores. The affluent current, being a hodgepodge of differently directed effluent streams, is approximately isotropic."(Heilbron, p. 284). …

Fresnel's paper: pp. 263-279 First appearance of this importent paper - the paper was only published in full in the Mémoires two years later - in which he applies the concept of transverse waves to double refraction and representing the final construction, in the form of an equation of the fourth degree.In the paper Fresnel also explained the fact, that in some cases of quartz the rotation of polarization is from left to right and in other cases from right to left. He proposed the term 'helical' to denote the property of rotating the plane of polarization, exhibited by such bodies as quartz. The term 'natural rotatory polarisation' is however, generally used.The issue contains further J.

Leipzig, Johann Ambrosius Barth, 1809. Without wrappers as issued in "Annalen der Physik und der Physikalischen Chemie. Hrsg. Ludwig Wilhelm Gilbert", Bd. 31, Drittes Stück. Titlepage to vol. 31. Pp. 225-336 a. 1 engraved plate. (Entire issue offered). Malus's papers: pp. 225-234 a. pp. 286-294. Wollaston's papers: pp. 235-251 a. pp. 252-262 a. Erläuterungen von Gilbert pp. 263-273. Laplace's paper: pp. 274-285. First apperance in German of these importent papers on the refraction and double refraction of light. The papers by Malus is his first two papers on the refraction of light and Laplace's paper is the memoir in which he commented Malus' paper and Huygen's refraction law. "In 1788 Haüy found experimentally that Huygen's law was true only in certain special cases, but in 1802 Wollaston found experimental evidence for the Huygenian construction (the second Wollaston paper offered). In "Mémoire sur la mesure du pouvoir réfringent" (the first paper offered) Malus showed that Wollaston's experiments were incomplete, and so the French corpuscularian physicists did not trust Wollaston's results. They thought, moreover, that Wollaston was associated with Tmomas Young and therfore with the new wave hypothesis. In this situation the Institute on January 1808 proposed a prize which required an experimental and theoretical explanation of double refraction. The French "Newtonian" scientists hoped that Malus would find a precise and general law for double refraction within the framework of an emission theory of light. Malus was a skilled mathematician and during 1807 he had carried out experiments on double refraction. By december 1808 Malus had finished his experimental investigations, which verified the Huygenian law. What remained was a theoretical deduction of the law. In January 1809, Laplace published a memoir in which he deduced Huygen's law law within the framework of Newtonian mechanics, using the principle of least action, and Malus considered this an insolence which deprived him of the priority. In 1810 Malus von the prize for his "Théorie sur la double réfraction", published in 1811."(DSB IX, p. 73). …
