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.…

(Leipzig, Johann Ambrosius Barth, 1831). Without wrappers as issued in "Annalen der Physik und Chemie. Hrsg. von J.C. Poggendorff", Bd. 22 (98) Fünftes Stück. Pp. 1-160. (The entire issue offered). Fresnel's papers: pp. 68-89 and pp. 90-125. Clean and fine. First appearance in German of two importent memoirs on polarized light, refraction and reflexion of light.The first paper unites two of his earlier papers on polarization as an introduction to the second paper. Having mastered the wave theory, Fresnel tackled the phenomena of polarization and of double refraction, and he obtained results which amazed the scientific world. These results survived the criticism of his contemporaries and of his succcessors, and are still accepted today.The second paper offered contains the first German edition of the importent paper in which Fresnel formulates a theory of reflection and refraction referring them to the dynamical properties of the luminiferous media and stating the two laws that bears his name, the "Sine-law" and the "Tangent-law".This memoir was for some time considered lost, it was presented to the Academy in 1823, but found later in the papers of Fourier. "Diese Abhandlung ist bereits am 7. Jan. 1823 in der Pariser Academie vorgelesen, nach der Zeit aber abhanden gekommen, und erst kürzlich unter den Papieren des verwigten Fourier wieder aufgefunden"(Editors footnote).In the memoir "He adopts Young's principle, that reflection and refraction are due to differences in the inertia of the aether in different material bodies, and supposes (as in the memoir on aberration) that the inertia is proportional to the inverse square of the velocity of propagation of light in the medium. The conditions which he proposes to satisfy at the interface between two media are that the displacements of the aadjacent molecules, resolved parallell to this interface, shall be equal in the two media" and that the energy of the reflwected and refracted waves together shall be equal to that of the incident wave."(Whittaker "A History of the Theories of Aether and Electricity" I, p.123).…

Leipzig, Barth, 1834. Contemp. hcalf., raised bands, spine gilt. Spine with light wear. in. "Annalen der Physik und Chemie. J.C. Poggendorff", Zweite reine, 3. bd.VIII,558,(4) pp. and 5 plates. (Entire volume offerd). Faradays papers: pp. 149-189 (Sixth series) + pp. 301-331 a. 481-520 (Seventh series). Internally clean and fine, printed on good paper. 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.…

(Slesvig, Nicolai Wegener), 1593. 4to. Helpergamentsbind fra 1600-taller. Ved ombindingen er bagerst indsat ca. 100 blanke blade. Forgyldt titeletiket i skind på ryg. Etiketten med lidt tab. Gl. ejernavn Bille Brahe (Hvedholm). 129 blade. På titelbladet er 2 linier, som var trykt med rødt overskrevet med sort. Blad 1b med stort træsnit af Danmarks våben. Blad 2a med helsides træsnit, Christian IV's portræt. Gl. ejernavn på titelbladet. Rent eksemplar trykt på kraftigt skrivepapir og med talrige samtidige tilskrifter i en net hånd. Yderst sjældent forekommende anden udgave (den første trykt af Brandis 1486) af den plattyske oversættelse af Jyske Lov ved Blasius Eckenberger. Der eksisterer kun en lille håndfuld bevarede eksemplarer i privat ejerskab. Det foreliggende eksemplar er en af varianteksemplarerne som er beskrevet af Lauritz Nielsen (Dansk Bibliografi, p.348, no.1072) og som gør sig bemærket ved flere udeladelser. Således er udeladt oversætterens eneretsprivilegium, dedikationen fra oversætteren, Chr. IV's autorisation m.v. (= læg 2 og 3). I dette eksemplar starter teksten med "Vörrede" som har arksignatur D og slutter med blad 139 b, som er et helsides træsnit af oversætterens bomærke. Repertoriet, som Eckenberger udgav 1594 sammen med loven er heller ikke tilstede.Lauritz Nielsen, 1072. - Thesaurus I, 167.…
