First edition of this important paper, in which Jenkin (1833-1885) "analysed fully the determination of market price using diagrams to present the supply and demand functions in the form of intersecting curves" (New Palgrave II, 1007). "Jenkin specifically noted that in the long run cost of production chiefly determines the price of manufactured goods, but stressed 'how much the value of all things depends on simple mental phenomena, and not on laws having mere quantity of materials for their subject'" (ibid.). Fisher, p. 180; Mattioli 2972. Octavo. Original brown cloth, front cover with black rule border, spine lettered in gilt, black coated endpapers. Gift inscription to half-title, ownership inscription in pencil to title, modern bookplate to front pastedown. Spine ends and corners lightly rubbed, short closed tear to one leaf professionally repaired; a very good copy.…

Zustand: Very Good. Jenkin, Henry Charles Fleeming (1833-85). A.L.s. (carbon copy) to Charles Tilston Bright. [London], January 9, 1862. 2pp. 254 x 202 mm. Small holes punched in left margin, traces of mounting present. Provenance: Latimer Clark. Jenkin, a British engineer, served as secretary of the British Association's Electric Standards Committee (formed in 1861), which was responsible for setting and naming the standard units of electrical quantity and resistance. His correspondent, Charles Bright, was co-author with Latimer Clark of "On the formation of standards of electrical quantity and resistance" (1861), which led directly to the formation of the committee. Jenkin here informs Bright that "the Committee of the British Association on Standards of Electrical Resistance are anxious to have the benefit of your valuable advice and propose from time to time to take the liberty of consulting you. "What the National Standard should be and of what metal it should be made are questions which will be brought before you at a later date when the Committee are able to acquaint you with the results of experiments now in progress. Meanwhile, the Committe would be glad tolearn what formof Standar Resistance you could reoommend. The committee wish to compare coils of copper wire wound in various ways, in order to determine the merits of each plan and would be happy to send you a length of copper wire to be wound under your care if you feel disposed to to the trouble and expense of preparing a coil. The Committe are anxious to obtain a coil which shall combine good insulation, convenience of form and permanence of electrical conditions, with the property of rapidity [?], assuming the temperature of the surrounding medium. Copper has been chosen because it is a metal which will bring out clear the possible defects of any of the prosed forms. . . ." Origins of Cyberspace 166. .…

Zustand: Very Good. Jenkin, Henry Charles Fleeming (1833-85). A.L.s. to Latimer Clark. St. Adelphi, January[?] 23, 1866. 2pp. 204 x 127 mm. Holes punched in upper margin. Provenance: Latimer Clark. Jenkin, a British engineer, served as secretary of the British Association's Electric Standards Committee (formed in 1861), which was responsible for setting and naming the standard units of electrical quantity and resistance. Between 1858 and 1872 Jenkin worked in the design and manufacture of submarine cables, performing the first accurate measurements of the specific inductive capacity of gutta-percha (used in submarine cable insulation) in 1862. His letter requests information on the comparative qualities of two different types of submarine cable: "Can you give me the exact gain which you derived in the Persian Gulf cable in the use of the segmented wire, i.e. what the discharge was with the common strand and 225 [illeg.] 275 S.P. and what the discharge with the segmented wire same weights? If not with those exact weights can you give me the exact ratio of the discharges in any two cases where the same weights of materials were used-of the exact weights of materials required to produce the same discharge?"
