Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. 1st Edition. [V], 339 Pp + 3 Pp Ads At Rear. First Edition, Eighth Printing (1912). Clean, No Marks, Some Light Foxing To Edges Of Page Block And To Rear Endpapers. Very Faint Traces Of Dampstaining To Foredges Of Front And Rear Covers. Ellen Karolina Sofia Key (Swedish: [?kej]; 11 December 1849 - 25 April 1926) Was A Swedish Difference Feminist Writer On Many Subjects In The Fields Of Family Life, Ethics And Education And Was An Important Figure In The Modern Breakthrough Movement. She Was An Early Advocate Of A Child-Centered Approach To Education And Parenting, And Was Also A Suffragist. She Is Best Known For Her Book On Education Barnets Århundrade (1900), Which Was Translated Into English In 1909 As The Century Of The Child. Key Grew Up In An Atmosphere Of Liberalism, And Throughout The 1870S Her Political Beliefs Were Radically Liberal. She Was Republican-Minded, With The Idea Of Freedom Holding Vast Importance For Her. As The 1880S Advanced, Her Thinking Became Even More Radical, Affecting First Her Religious Beliefs And Then Her Views On Life In Society In General. This Was The Outcome Of Extensive Reading. During The Latter Part Of The 1880S And Particularly In The 1890S, She Began To Read Socialist Literature And Turned Increasingly Towards Socialism. Key Was Raised In A Rigid Christian Household, But While Growing Up She Started Questioning Her Views. From 1879 She Studied Charles Darwin, Herbert Spencer And T. H. Huxley. In The Autumn Of That Year She Met Both Huxley And Haeckel, The German Biologist And Philosopher, In London. The Principle Of Evolution, In Which Ellen Key Had Come To Believe, Was Also To Have An Influence On Her Educational Views. She Is Quoted As Having Said: "Side By Side With The Class War, The Culture War Must Ceaselessly Be Waged By The Young And Among The Young Upon Whom Rests The Responsibility Of Making The New Society Better For All Than The Old Could Be.".

Hardcover. Zustand: Good. Two parts, thick octavo. VIII, 1096; 328. Old Testament and Apocrypha paginated continuously; collective title page; New Testament with separate full title page. Text in two columns. Contemporary calf (rubbed); spine with raised bands, gilt title. Wear at spine cap, some loss (3/4 inch) at spine tail. Light dampstain at bottom margin; mild foxing throughout (somewhat heavier at final 50 leaves). A good, complete copy. Rare early nineteenth-century edition of the Bible in Luther's German translation published in Pennsylvania. Apart from the 1828 New Testament, very few copies of any of the Luther Bible editions published by Johann Georg Ritter (1772-1840) at Philadelphia between 1826 and 1829 survive. In his 1893 pioneering work, The First Century of German Printing in America, Oswald Seidensticker locates no complete Luther Bibles and only two editions of the New Testament which were published by Ritter in 1826 (304 pages) and 1828 (541 pages). These were of course often bound with the Old Testament (along with their full title-page). The 1828 New Testament is the only portion of Ritter's biblical editions that is widely held in institutional libraries. Expanding upon the work of Seidensticker, the editors of The first Century of German Language Printing in the United States of America (1989) assign only four Luther Bible editions (Old and New Testaments bound together) to Ritter, one in 1827 and three in 1829. OCLC, however, locates Luther Bible editions published by Ritter in all four years between 1826 and 1829. A careful comparison of the paginations reveals that Ritter's Luther Bibles appeared in several variants. The 1827 edition was re-issued in 1829 as a "Zweyte Auflage" with 20 additional pages of preparatory material immediately preceding the Old Testament. Variants of the present edition also appeared in which the Apocrypha (160 pages) was separately paginated. (Some surviving copies lack the Apocrypha and only contain the 936 pages of the Old Testament.) Our careful review of OCLC locates only sixteen surviving copies of Ritter's Luther Bibles containing both the Old and New Testaments published between 1826 and 1829. Twenty-four copies of the separately bound 1828 New Testament have survived, as well. The only two copies of our 1827 edition have been located: the University of Waterloo and the Wurttembergische Landesbibliothek. The results of our census are appended below. Johann Georg Ritter appears to have begun his career in Reading, Pennsylvania, where he printed two German-language works for the firm of William M'Carty (and Davis) in Philadelphia: Geschichte des americanischen Kriegs von 1812 (1817); Hoch-Deutsches reformirtes A B C-und Namen-Büchlein, für Kinder welche anfangen zu lernen (1818). He later moved to Philadelphia and set up his own shop, Der Deutsche-europäischen Buch- und Kunsthandlung. Sammlung religiöser deutscher Gesaenge, which he edited along with J. G. Schmauk, was published in 1824 and has been tentatively attributed to Ritter after his move to Philadelphia; Karl Rudolph Demme's Letzte ehre des Christlichen Predigers in einer Christlichen Gemeine (Philadelphia, 1825) is the earliest work to appear under his imprint. He catered chiefly to the German-speaking Reformed community with religious works, sermons, and elementary school texts. He briefly published in 1825 a periodical edited by Johann Carl Gossler, Philadelphier Magazin für Freunde der deutschen Literatur in Amerika.

First edition of this rigorous revision of Luther's version in the spirit of mystical Pietism, edited by Johann Heinrich Haug (d. 1753) and other scholars, as is reflected in the main title: Welchem allem noch untermängt Eine Erklärung die den inneren Zustand des geistlichen Lebens, oder die Wege und Wirckungen Gottes in der Seelen zu deren Reinigung, Erleuchtung, und Vereinigung mit Ihm, zu erkennen gibt. (Underlying everything is an explanation that reveals the inner state of the spiritual life, or the ways and effects of God in in souls, for their purification, enlightenment, and union with Him). A theologian and orientalist, Haug was expelled from Strasburg for holding an assembly of Philadelphians and other mystic Separatists. He fled to the castle of Casimir Graf von Sayn-Wittgenstein-Berlenburg, which had become a refuge for radical pietiests. Remaining there until his death, Haug directed a Philadelphian organization that extended throughout western Germany. "He is said to have been a man of great piety and charming personality, and was regarded by Count Casimer as a prophet of God" (Schaff-Herzog). "The new spirit of mystical Pietism. was fully revealed in the Marburg Bible (1712). The interpretation of type and prophecy in this follows the federal theology of Cocceius, that of Canticles and Revelation Madame Guyon. It was the forerunner of a larger work in the same spirit, the Berleburg Bible of 1726-42. projected and prepared chiefly by Johann Heinrich Haug. The text is a revision of Luther's with comparison of the English and French versions; the commentary reflects the views of the Philadelphian communities, and quotes the mystical books current among them, especially Madame Guyon's, but its teaching goes back beyond Dippel and Petersen to Jakob Böhme, or even to Origen in some points. It lacks unity of belief and of treatment; it is the work not of a single mystic, giving voice to his inner convictions, but of a propagandist sect with radical tendencies. It is not without value, however, from different points of view; it edifies by its continual application of Scriptural works to the spiritual life, and it prepares the way for historical criticism by an appendix [vol. 8] containing apocrypha (Old and New Testament), pseudepigrapha, and postapostolic writings." (Schaff-Herzog). Christopher Sauer, the agent for the sale of the Berlenburg Bible in the United States, used the text as a model for the first German-American Bible (1743).

Halle, Rengerschen Buchhandlung, 1803. Without wrappers as extracted from "Annalen der Physik. Herausgegeben von Ludwig Wilhelm Gilbert", Bd. 12. Pp. 257-291 a. 1 folded engraved plate showing the experimental apparatus used. First appearance in German of this extremely important paper in which Gay-Lussac first formulated the law, the Gay-Lussac's Law, stating that if the mass and pressure of a gas are held constant, then gas volume increases linearly as the temperature rises. This is sometimes written as V = k T, where k is a constant dependent on the type, mass, and pressure of the gas and T is temperature on an absolute scale. (In terms of the ideal gas law, k = n R / P.)."In 1802 he (Gay-Lussac) showed that different gases all expanded by equal amounts with rise in temperature. Charles had made the same discovery some years earlier but had not published it" the credit therefore belongs to Gay-Lussac at least as much, and probably more. This was an extremely importent discovery, which Avogadro was to use within the decade to formulate hid long-neglected hypothesis that equal volumes of different gases at equal temperatures contained equal numbers of particles."(Asimov).Magie "A Source Book in Physics", p.165-172 - Leicester & Klickstein "A Source Book of Chemistry", p. 374-379. - Parkinson "Breakthroughs" 1802 C.

He missed the credit for the discovery of induction to Faraday, but he had done the key experiment ahead of Faraday, but Faraday was the first to publish. But he is credited for the discovery of self-induction (1832) and Faraday discovered it independently two years later (1834)."In Henry's paper, however, he explained thet the electric current in a coil can induce another current not only in another coil but in itself. The actual current observed in the coil is, then, the combination of the original current and the induced current. This is called self induction."(Isac Asimov).The issue contains further notable papers Michael Faraday's "Vierzehnte Reihe von Experimental-Untersuchungen über Elektricität", § 2o-22. (Nos 1667-1748). Pp. 249-281. First German version. In this paper FARADAYamplifies his theory of electrostatic induction by making further use of the analogy with the induction of magnetism. Whittaker describes the paper as having "THE FUNDAMENTAL EQUATION OF ELECTROSTATICS", as modified in order to take into account the effect of the specific inductive capacity."(Whittaker I, pp.187-89).

First appearance in German - prepared by Faraday himself for publication in Annalen - of 2 historical papers in chemistry and physiscs in which Faraday in the first detects a new recombination-effect in electrolysis and in the second we have the MILESTONE PAPER in which Faraday announces the discoveries of further laws of electrochemistry, stating the general relations of electricity to chemistry and introducing new terms with precise meanings. The first part of the paper introduces his new terminology, giving the words a limited and precise meaning. These words, devised with the assistance of William Whewell, are now familiar to all chemists, electrode, anode, cathode, ion, anion, and cation. He also introduces the "Volta-electrometer", and arrives at the "Law of electro-chemical equivalents". The paper offered is one of Farday's most famous papers."Another section of the paper is devoted to a closer examination of the law of constant electrochemical action with respect to water and to the development of a gas electrometer to measure quantities of electricity. Faraday's "Volta-electrometer" provided the first practical means for the quantitative measurement of electricity." (Source Book in Chemistry p. 280-81).The Sixth series: "In the course of his experimental investigations of a general and importent law of electro-chemical action, which required the accurate measurement of thegases evolved during the decomposition of water and other substances, the author was lead to the detection of a curious effect, which had never been previously noticed, and of which the knowledge, had he before possessed it, would have prevented many of the errors and inconsistencies occurring in the conclusions he at first deduced from his earlier experiments. The phenomena observed was the gradual recombination of elements which had been previously separated from each other by voltaic action. This happened when, after water had been decomposed by voltaic electricity, the mixed gases resulting from such decomposition were left in contact with the platina wires or plates, which had acted as poles" for under these circumstances they gradually diminished in vo.umes, water was reprioduced, and at lust the whole of the gases disappeared."(Abstract) - Faraday explains the causes of this recombination.

Clean and fine. First German editions of the 2 first memoirs of Faradays groundbreaking researches on electricity, constituting the first 2 papers of his "Experimental Researches in Electricity", and containing his fundamental discovery of electromagnetic induction, THE FOUNDATION OF NEARLY ALL THE ELECTRICITY IN USE TODAY. In 1820 Oersted had generated magnetism from electricity, Faraday here finds the opposite effect, generating electricity by magnetism. He also described the first electrical generator (second paper). THESE PAPERS ARE SOME OF THE GREAT CLASSICS OF CHEMISTRY AND PHYSICS."Faraday demonstrated this theory involving the lines of force.by inserting a magnet into a coil of wire attached to a galvanometer. While the magnet was being inserted or removd, current flowed through the wire. If the magnet was held stationary and the coil moved over it one way or the other, there was current in the wire. In either case the magnetic lines of force about the magnet were cut by the wire.If the magnet and coil were both held motionless, whether the magnet was within the coil or not, there was no current.Faraday hd thus discovered electricalinduction.It was to lead to great things, but this was not apparent."(Asimov)."Although his discovery of the electric motor and the dynamo was almost entirely identical to his theoretical discoveries, it laid the foundation of the modern electrical industry - electric light and power, teælephony, wireless telegraphy, televison etc. - by providing for the production of continous mechanical motion from an electrical source, and vice versa."

The papers represents one of the first announcements of Berzelius' discovery of the fixed chemical proportions, determining the weights and valencies of the various constituent elements in inorganic compounds. The papers were published at the same time in German (both here in Annalen and in Schweiger's Journal), and in French. By running many hundreds of analysis of chemical compounds he gave so many examples of the law of definite proportions that the world of chemistry could no longer doubt its validity, and in so doing he gave experimental evidence to the atomic theory. He hereby laid a solid fundation for the further development of chemistry.According to Söderbaum (Jac. Berzelius, 2, p.12) "It was a giant work, one of the most importent in the history of chemistry, which was here presented. One is even more impressed when one remembers that it was a pioneer undertaking in every sense of the term. Analytic and synthetic methods existed before Berzelius' time, to be sure, but there were no precise methods of the sort which he required. They all had to be elaborated at the cost of time and labour."(J. Erik Jorpes "Jac. Berzelius", p.45)."In general Berzelius's efforts were directed toward the consolidation and extension of the atomic theory. He improved chemical analysis and determined the composition of a large number of compounds, thus verifying the laws of constant and multiple proportions and furnishing the most accurate equivalent weights then available. By ingenious methods he arrived at the correct atomic composition of most common substances, and thus was enabled to draw up (in 1826) a table of atomic weights very nearly identical with the modern one."(Leicester & Klicktein "A Source Book in Chemistry", p. 258).Parkinson "Breakthroughs", 1810-20 C.
