Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Druck auf Anfrage Neuware - Printed after ordering - By the early nineteenth century, meteorologists were equipped with plenty of useful devices: barometers, thermometers, hygrometers, and any number of variations thereon. But the nature of these instruments was not wholly understood. While it was possible to take accurate measurements with a barometer, what physical process made the mercury move What exactly is atmospheric pressure And how can one measure sunlight Ranging from wild theories of gravity-resistant air particles to the latest experiments in altitude, chemist and physicist John Frederic Daniell (1790-1845) presents his answers in this collection of essays. First published in 1823, this enlarged second edition of 1827 includes his work on the climate of London, the effect of atmospheric conditions on human health, and suggested improvements for the design of a new hygrometer. Daniell later became the first professor of chemistry at King's College, London, and foreign secretary of the Royal Society.

Hardcover. Zustand: Good. A rare 1827 edition of the second edition of this work, bound and printed for the University of Edinburgh and awarded as a prize in 1833, with an inscription on first page.Meteorological Essays and Observations is a foundational scientific work by the English chemist and physicist John Frederic Daniell (1790a?1845). First published in 1823, the book significantly advanced the field of meteorology from a collection of observations into a more rigorous physical science. In this work, Daniell sought to explain the physical processes behind weather phenomena rather than just recording them. The book remains in print today.The cream boards, altho.

(London, Richard and John E. Taylor, 1839). 4to. No wrappers as extracted from "Philosophical Transactions" 1839 - Part I. Pp. 89-95. Clean and fine. First printing of an importent paper in which Daniell further records his experiments with his invention the "Daniell Cell" from 1836. "The use of such cells, often coupled together in long chains to give a large electromotive force, gave great impetus to research in all branches of current electricity and also lead to commercial applications in gilding, electroplating, and glyphography."(DSB III, p. 557)In 1831 Daniell was appointed proffesor of Chemistry at King's College London. He invented several scientific instruments, including a hygrometer for measuring humidity he is best known for his work in electrochemistry, his interests having been aroused by the work of his good friend faraday. Volta's battery had the defect of rapid diminution in current. What was needed, however, was a battery yielding a constant current over a considerable lenght of time. In 1836 Daniell succeeded, producing the Daniell cell, of copper and zinc. his was the first reliable source of electric current.

(London, Richard and John E. Taylor, 1837). 4to. No wrappers as extracted from "Philosophical Transactions" 1837 - Part I. Pp. 141-160 and 1 engraved plate. First appearance of Daniell's second paper on the construction of the famous "Daniell-Cell". In 1836 (in a paper in the Transactions, also addressed to Faraday with the title "On Voltaic Combinations"), he announced his invention of the battery. In his second paper, the paper offered here, he further develops his invention. In the new invention by Charles Wheatstone of the electric telegraph in 1837, the Daniell cell was used as the electric source.In 1831 Daniell was appointed proffesor of Chemistry at King's College London.
