First apperance of these two groundbreaking papers constituting the famous "Franck-Hertz Experiments" giving the first experimental determination of Planck's constant not using blackbody radiation."Thus, the experiments by Franck and hertz were later considered as a new and independent support not only of Planck's quantum theory and Einstein's light-quantum hypothesis, but also of Bohr's theory of the atom with sationary states of discrete energies. In 1926 Franck and Hertz were awardedthe Nobel prize for 1925."(Siegmund Brandt "The Harvest of a century", Episode 25, p. 102).The Nobel Prize were given "for their discovery of the laws governing the impact of an electron upon an atom". …

Oblong-small-8vo (133 : 78 mm). Signature and inscription on album page F. S. Eliot". - Thomas Stearns Eliot (18881965) was an American-born British poet, playwright, and literary critic, widely regarded as one of the defining figures of twentieth-century literature. A leading voice of literary Modernism, he revolutionized English-language poetry with works such as The Waste Land (1922) and Four Quartets (1943). In 1948, he was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature "for his outstanding, pioneer contribution to present-day poetry." He also served for many years as director at the London publishing house Faber & Faber, where he exerted a lasting influence on modern literature.…

3pp, 12mo. Bifolium. In good condition, lightly aged. Each page numbered by Fry. An Unsigned document from the Christopher Fry archive. Warm personal recollections, entertaining and evocative. Unpublished. The conclusion of the document makes clear that it was written as to be spoken as part of an event celebrating Eliot at St Stephen's Church, Gloucester Road, London: 'It's good to be here, in the place where he was churchwarden for so many years, to read and listen to his words, which meant so much to me when I was young, and which stayed with me, unageing, [sic] while I grew old beside them. [Added here: 'It's like coming in to the railway station at the town you were brought up in.'] | Here is Keith Michell to read you "Mungojerrie and Rumpelteazer."' The commencement dates the document to 1995: 'Let me take you back 65 years, when I first turned the pages of T. S. Eliot's poem The Waste Land belatedly it had been published eight years earlier and as I read I remember feeling like John Keats after reading Chapman's Homer: "like some watcher of the skies / When a new planet swims into his ken." - Two years before this, in 1928, when I was a prep. School master, I found that the boys, even quite young ones, had listened with evident pleasure, while I read to them The Hollow Men; [in margin: 'Penny for the Old Guy'] [inserted here: 'for the sound of it Here we go round the prickly pear!'] and in that same year the School Matron had taken me to see Sweeney Agonistes acted in a bare upstairs room somewhere in Soho.' He continues by describing his first meeting with Eliot, eight or nine years later, 'introduced, I think, by E. Martin Browne, who directed all Eliot's plays, and in the summer of 1939 was going to direct a pageant-play I had written for Tewkesbury Abbey.' Eliot having read 'something of the script, a Chorus or two', had 'written very helpfully and hopefully about it', and attended a performance. Fry explains how over time Eliot's 'gentle encouragement' turned to friendship, and recalls 'one difficult transition which came quite early on, when instead of starting his letter "Dear Mr. Fry" he began "Dear Fry." What was I to do? I felt I couldn't address him as "Dear Eliot" - it would seem as impudent as the modern habit of calling God "you" instead of "Thou." I think I may have compromised with "Dear T. S. Eliot," or perhaps "Dear T. S. E." if I was feeling particularly daring. But in the course of time we came to the mutual trust of Christian names.' Fry next tells an anecdote which only features in his Oxford DNB entry as from 'personal knowledge'. He recounts that, after 'the Hitler War' had broken out, he went to see Eliot in his office at Faber & Faber, and told him that he was 'thinking of volunteering for the London Firebrigade. [sic] "The trouble is," I told him, "I've a very bad head for heights." "You must specialise," he said, "in basements."' He adds that Eliot had 'a kind of gravity of laughter which was wonderful to be with'. The address ends, before the conclusion quoted above, with an anecdote previously told by the 'artist Clive Bell', regarding a birthday party at which Lady Diana Cooper 'collected all the riddles that had been in the crackers and challenged everyone to see who would be the quickest at solving them'. The two who 'gave the answers almost as fast as she could read' were Eliot and John Maynard Keynes, with Eliot having the advantage as a result of Keynes's stammer.…

(Leipzig, Johann Ambrosius Barth, 1906). No wrappers. Extracted from "Annalen der Physik" Vierte Folge. Bd. 20. Pp. 199-206. Clean and fine. First printing of one of the papers for which Einstein was awarded the Nobel Prize in 1921. It was for the papers "Ueber einen die Erzeugung und Verwandlung des Lichtes betreffenden heuristischen Gesichtspunkt" of 1905 and "Zur Theorie der Lichterzeugung.( Theory of light emission and absorption), the offered item, that Einstein received the prize: "for his services to theoretical physics and especially for his discoveryof the law of the photoelectrical effect" - his reward was not based on relativity."The quantum theory has affected virtually every branch of physics. Its earliest and one of its most significant developments was Einstein's application of the theory to what is known as the 'photo-electrical effect'.Einstein explained this effext by suggesting that the classical view that light is emitted in the form of continous waves must be abandoned. The photo-electrical effect could be explained only as an example of quantum action where the waves of light or X-rays are emitted in minute particles or bullets. It is he size of the bullet (the wave-lenght of the radiation) which determines the number of electrons ejected. It was for this, and not for the theory of relativity, that Einstein was awarded the Nobel Prize in 1921. Einstein's two fundamental papers on this subject are "Ueber einem Erzeugung." 1905 and Zur Theorie der Lichterzeugung (the paper offered here)" (PMM the note to 391).Weil: 12 (with an asterix, denoting a major paper) - Boni:12.…

4to. 10 pp. Auf gedr. Briefkopf Faber and Faber Limited". Interessante Korrespondenz zu den Werken von Ronald Duncan und Ezra Pound. Der Dichter und Dramatiker Duncan (1914-1982) wurde in seinen Anfängen von Ezra Pound zum Schreiben ermutigt. T.S. Eliot war sein Redakteur bei Faber and Faber: [] I have talked over The Catalyst again with Charles Monteith and candidly we don't think it is up to your standard. Indeed I did not find it very interesting or the writing of your best. As for the novel I did not know what had happened about that but I have made enquiries. It seems that Higham offered us your volume of short stories which my fellow directors did not think strong enough to justify our committing ourselves to any degree about the novel, particularly in view of the fact that there were no previous novels to give us any hint of your abilities with this form; so that is the position and I can only express the hope that The Catalyst may find another publisher []" (Brief vom 7.8.1958). - II. I've now been through the revised SOLITUDES and here are my views as to how the volume might be presented. I think that the volume itself should be called THE SOLITUDES (which is the original title) with a sub-title ,And Other Poems'. THE SOLITUDES would actually be the first section, followed immediately by ,The Postcards'. I would like to include in THE SOLITUDES section all the poems which seem to me to spring from the same inspiration, including ,Lettera Amorosa', ,The Warning', and ,The Plea'. After ,Postcards' I should put ,The Need'. ,Canzone' seems to me to belong to ,The Solitudes', as do ,Song' and ,Lute Song'. Then come the other poems: ,Strope and Anti-Strophie', ,Impromptu for a Child', Solitude No. 15 which doesn't seem to me to be a Solitude at all, and possibly ,Amo Ergo Sum'; ,The Crone's Lament' certainly, and ,Air Raid' is a good poem. You might, if you like, end up with ,The Calendar'. I am returning the poems for you to run over again, and you will find one separate section of the poems which I should advise omitting. Some of these seem to me just not good enough; others seem to me more fitting for another volume, and I have also in mind that we don't want a book like this to be too long. I think that with the poems which I have mentioned to be included, we shall find that the book is as long as is desirable. []" (Brief vom 27.8.1959).Beiliegt: 7 Briefe und eine Postkarte mit eigenh. Unterschrift seiner Witwe Valerie Eliot an R. Duncan über ihren Mann, seine Arbeit und seine Korrespondenz bei, sowie diverse Dokumente.…
