Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. 1st Edition. Printed self-wrappers bound into later tan cloth. 4to. 58pp. Folding chart. First edition of this work by the Irish physicist. Hennessy was remarkable for his versatile interests and scientific ingenuity. In his earliest paper, published when he was nineteen, he proposed using photography for the registration of barometric and thermometric readings. In other papers he wrote about the fluid origins of the earth and planets, laws regulating the distribution of temperature in islands, the Gulf Stream, a decimal system of weighs and measures founded on the length of the polar axis of the earth and much more. The chart at the end of this work shows Synthermal Lines of the Earth". A very good copy with some light creasing to the text. There is a small paper repair to the verso of the title and the left margin of the last page of text and a small ink number at the top of the first page. The folding chart is lightly creased. The cloth binding is very good with light wear. The front blank has the ownership signature of Yale professor and climate science pioneer, Barry Saltzman. Scarce.…

Txt: On the 19thof last month I took the liberty of sending to you a paper on tidal estauaries and my object in writing to you at present is to request that you will informme whether that paper has met you approval. Under any circumstances I trust you will oblige me a far as to mention what you think is best to do with it. Your opinion on this subject and on what corrections should be necessary for the paper would be deemed a favour by [.]". Brayley has added a note as follows: "Answered March 15, acknowledging the receipt of the packet of Feb.19th promising to examine the paper in a short time."Note: "In Hennessy's first paper from 1845, in the Philosophical Magazine, he proposed to use photography for the registration of barometric and thermometric readings. In Researches in Terrestrial Physics (Philosophical Transactions, 1851) he argued from the figure and structure of the Earth and planets, that they were of fluid origin, and that a fluid nucleus at a high temperature was enclosed within their crust. He also wrote on meteorology and on climatology, deducing laws which regulate the distribution of temperature in islands. 'On the Influence of the Gulf Stream led to a request to report on the temperature of the seas surrounding the British Isles for the Committee on Irish Fisheries in 1870." [Wikipedia}.…
