Erstausgabe
Zustand: UNSPECIFIED. 4 parts in 5 volumes. 8vo. xiv, 544; [4], [xv]-xvii, [1], [545]-801, [1]; xxvii, [1], 1189, [1]; xiv, 923, [1]; xii, 622, [1] pp. 22 plates (some folding, some in color), 838, 915, 499, 531 figs. Modern half brown morocco, paste-paper boards, blind- and gilt-stamped spine labels, raised bands. Fine. FIRST EDITION in German, complete. This is the most advanced textbook on Cosmic Physics and Meteorology of its time. "His acclaimed textbook on physics and meteorology, Elements de physique experimentale et de meteorologie, was published in four parts.[6] Also, it was translated into German by Johann Heinrich Jakob Muller, and published with the title, Lehrbuch der Physik und Meteorologie." âÂÂ" Wikip. "Pouillet's lectures âÂÂ" which were partially collected in his Elements de physique experimentale et de meteorologie (1927) and in the Lecons de physique de la Faculte des sciences (1828) âÂÂ" were widely read. (Pouillet published a popular account of Elements in 1850.) Although offering no spectacular novelties, they presented, in clear language, a survey of the state of the various branches of physics and of recent developments in them." âÂÂ" DSB XI, p. 111. / A much revised and expanded version of what was originally Pouillet's Elements de Physique Experimentale et de Meteorologie (1827), which Muller translated into Lehrbuch der Physik und Meteorologie (1842) and then expanded with the supplement Lehrbuch der Kosmischen Physik (1856). It was eventually taken to a ninth edition by Pfaundler (1886-98) and finally revised and expanded yet again by Pfaundler into this final edition including an additional volume, Magnetismus und Elektrizitat (1909), written by Walter Kaufmann (1871-1947) and Alfred Coehn (1863-1938). The final version unifies almost a century's worth of effort in various disciplines into a single textbook.

Contemporary calf, paste-paper marbled boards, gilt-stamped raised bands and spine black & red leather labels. Rubberstamps of the Royal Society of Edinburgh. Near fine. RARE WITH ATLAS VOLUME. Fourth edition, enlarged (the first to include Kosmichen Physik), of the famous physics textbook of Mathias Pouillet [Elements de physique experimentale et de meteorologie, 1827-30], translated and substantially enlarged and revised by Johann Muller, a physics and technology professor at the University of Freiburg. Muller's version in turn became a standard physics textbook in the German-speaking world, and went through a number of editions, remaining in use through the early 20th century. "Muller's most significant textbook, the Lehrbuch, first appeared as Pouillet's Lehrbuch der Physik und Meteorologie, a 'free adaptation' of the 1837 edition of C.S. Pouillet's Elements de Physique experimentale et de Meteorologie. Muller'sinnovations included numerous woodcuts inserted directly into the text. . .The illustrations of the apparatus were particularly useful for the mechanician. The book was initially styled for the nonphysics major. He supplied the derivations of mathematical formulas and stressed mechanical theorems. Muller incorporated Gauss's works on magnetism for the first time and recast the chapters on galvanism, light, and meteorology. Each of the seven editions that were published during his lifetime underwent considerable emendation. A third volume, Lehrbuch der Kosmicschen Physik, based upon Muller's own observations was added in 1856." âÂÂ"D.S.B. IX, p. 566.
