Very good. FIRST EDITION. THE DISCOVERY OF NEON LIGHTING. By 1705, Hauksbee had discovered that if he placed a small amount of mercury in the glass of his modified version of Otto von Guericke's generator and evacuated the air from it, and then he caused a charge to be built up on the ball, a glow was visible if he placed his hand on the outside of the ball. This glow was bright enough to read by. This effect later became the basis of Neon lighting and mercury vapor lights. "Hauksbee's important experiments on electroluminescence, static electricity, and capillarity, described in the present work, mark the beginning of sustained experimentation in the field of electricity. He was the first to demonstrate the optical effects produced by the passage of electricity through rarified air. His demonstration of the efficacy of glass in producing frictional electricity opened the way from the work of Gray, Dufay and Franklin, and his discoveries in capillarity (he was the first adequately to explore the subject) influenced Laplace nearly one hundred years later. Hauksbee performed many of his experiments at the suggestion of Isaac Newton, from whom Hauksbee learned the theoretical import of some of his discoveries; in turn, Hauksbee's results influenced Newton's revisions and additions in the new editions of his Principia and Optiks."

"One of the most important early works on electricity, containing a description of the electrical machine with a glass cylinder (invented by Hauksbee), descriptions and illustrations of an improved air-pump of his invention, founded on his discovery of the lateral communication of motion in air and important for first showing the optical effects produced by the passage of electricity through rarefied air, which formed the starting point of modern researches, X-rays and the constitution of the atom ." (Duveen). The original English edition was published in 1709; this Italian translation is the first to be published on the Continent of Europe, the French version appearing only in 1754. The famous plates are well engraved - see the 3 reproductions in Dibner (I) Early Electrical Machines, pp16-19.Collation: *8 A-K8 [L]. This edition, the second published after that of London in 1709. was "the version chiefly read in France [and] used by the pioneer electrician C.

Première édition française "prefaced by a valuable Discours historique et raisonné sur les expériences de M. Hauksbee by Nicolas Desmarest who points out the mutual influence fo Hauksbee and Newton". (DSB VI p. 175). "Hauksbee is remembered for his experiments on electroluminescence, static electricity, and capillarity. His discoveries were first published in a series of papers in the Society's Philosophical Transactions and finally brought together in his Physico-Mechanical Exeperiments on various subsjects. Translated into Italian, Dutch, and French, Hausbee's book was widely read in the eighteenth century. His desmonstration that glass is a convenient and malleable material for producing frictional electricity opened the way for the work of Stephen Gray, Charles de Cisternay Dufay and Benjamin Franklin. His discoveries had a marked influence on the later speculatons of Isaac Newton and a century later Laplace turned to Hauskbees book when he embarked on his study of capillarity."

Woodcut decorative initials, head- and tail-pieces. Contemporary mottled calf, gilt spine with lettering piece, sprinkled edges (worn and rubbed). Light marginal stain at the beginning and at the end of the volume, first plate browned, all in all a good copy. FIRST ITALIAN EDITION, the second of this work after the original English edition of 1709. This was the first translation of it to appear as the French version was published only in 1754. This Italian edition was ?the version chiefly read in France [and] used by the pioneer electrician, C. F. de Cisternay Dufay? (DSB, VI, p. 175). ?Hauksbee's important experiments on electroluminescence, static electricity, and capillarity, described in the present work, mark the beginning of sustained experimentation in the field of electricity.

FIRST EDITION of the scientific experiments demonstrated publicly by Francis Hauksbee (1688?1763), nephew of the instrument maker of the same name who was giving similar lectures in about 1705. George Wilson was lecturing on chemistry around the turn of the century, and John Harris began lecturing on mathematics in about 1698, and these were the earliest scientific lectures in London, but the present lectures by Hauksbee appear to be the earliest to be published. ?Hauksbee?became very active in the lecturing world, advertising courses given with Whiston at Crane Court. His co-operation with Whiston, who like Hauksbee failed to obtain the distinction of FRS, continued for many years? At least until 1727 Hauksbee was still giving ?A Course of Mechanical and Experimental Philosophy? with Whiston, in which Newton's improvements to the reflecting telescope were demonstrated, along with magnetical experiments and entertainments? (ODNB). There are four issues listed in ESTC, of which the present is the rarest (2 copies); leaves 12?14 are misnumbered 21?23, the catchword on p. 1 is ?An?, and the last page is numbered 24.
