Lightly Used, No Fraying, Gilt Bright, Hinges Very Tight, Pages Crisp. Presentation Inscription From The Author To The Duke Of Bedford, With An Additional Letter Of 23 April 1883 From Siemens To The Duke, Francis Charles Hastings Russell, 9Th Duke Of Bedford Kg (1819 -1891) (The Dedication Is Dated April 4, 1883), 2 Pp. An Early British Essay On The Dynamics Of Solar Radiation, With Reprinting Of Many Scientific Comments Thereupon. Per Wikipedia, Charles William Siemens (1823- ) Received His Education At The Gymnasium Of Lubeck, The Art School Of Madgeburg, And The University Of Gottingen. In 1843 He Visited England And Again Came To England To Patent An Invention, Becoming Naturalized Subject In 1859. In 1851 Mr. Siemens Introduced His Water-Meter. Between The Years 1856 And 1861, Mr. Siemens, In Conjunction With His Brother Frederick, Worked Out The Regenerative Gas Furnace. Siemens Became Interested In Telegraph Engineering, And In 1858 He Established, With His Brother, Werner Siemens, Mr. Halske, Of Berlin, And His Brother, Carl Siemens, The Firm Siemens, Halske, And Co. With Telegraph Works In London, Laying Cable Throughout The World. Siemens Presented Many Scientific Papers To British Societies. His First Paper Was Presented To The Institution Of Civil Engineers On The 17Th Of May, 1853, And Was Entitled, "On The Conversion Of Heat Into Mechanical Effect." It Was The First Paper Published In Great Britain Which Considered The Subject Of Heat Engines From The Point Of View Of The Mechanical Theory Of Heat, And, Although A Quarter Of A Century Has Nearly Elapsed Since It Was Read, It May Be To-Day Taken As A Guide To The Subjects To Which It Has Reference. Between This Period And 186O He Described His Governor, Steam Engine, And Water-Meters, In Papers To The Institution Of Mechanical Engineers. On The 14Th February, 1867, Was Read His Paper "On The Conversion Of Dynamical Into Electrical Force Without The Aid Of Permanent Magnetism," Which Is Peculiarly Interesting As Being The First Scientific Enunciation In The Uk Of The Dynamo-Electric Principle Upon Which The Most Powerful Light Producing Machines Depended. Another Scientific Paper Presented By Him To The Same Society In 1871, "On Electrical Resistance," Was Made The Bakerian Lecture For That Year. It Treats Of A Method Of Measuring Variation Of Temperature By Variation Of Electrical Resistance; And The New Instruments Described In This Paper, The Electrical Resistance Thermometer And Pyrometer, In Connection With The Differential Voltameter, Became Appreciated As Valuable Auxiliaries In Thermometry, And In Metallurgical Research. The Society Of Arts Presented Him With Its Gold Medal For His Regenerative Condenser In The Year 1850, And The Institution Of Civil Engineers, In The Session 1852-53, With Its Telford Medal For The Paper Already Referred To. In 1851 And 1862, Dr. Siemens Received Prize Medals Of The London Exhibition, And In 1867 Was Awarded A Grand Prix At The Universal Exhibition, Of Paris For His Regenerative Gas Furnace And Steel Process. In 1869 The Degree Of Doctor Of Civil Law, Honoris Causd, Was Conferred Upon Him By The University Of Oxford, And In 1874 He Received The Royal Albert Medal For His Researches On Heat, And For His Metallurgical Processes. In 1875 He Received The Bessemer Medal Of The Iron And Steel Institute "In Recognition Of The Valuable Services He Has Rendered To The Iron And Steel Trades By His Important Inventions And Investigations.".

(London, Harrison and Sons, 1898). 4to. No wrappers as extracted from "Philosophical Transactions" Year 1897, Volume 190 - Series A. - Pp. 205-300, textillustr. Clean and fine. First appearance of an importent paper announcing the first formulation of the complete Lorentz-transformation and with the first prediction of time dilation. "It seems churlish however to deny that Larmor had gained an importent, if limited insight into time dilation, two years before Lorentz's striking similar and independent insight of 1899."(Harvey R. brown in "Physical relativity", p. 61). - The paper also presents the "Larmor formula".It's notable that Larmor was the first who recognized that some sort of time dilation is a consequence of the Loretz transformation as well, because individual electrons describe corresponding parts of their orbits in times shorter for the [rest] system in the ratio 1/y.Parallel to the development of Lorentz ether theory, Larmor published the complete Lorentz transformations in the Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society in 1897 (in the paper offered) some two years before Hendrik Lorentz (1899, 1904) and eight years before Albert Einstein (1905). Larmor predicted the phenomenon of time dilation, at least for orbiting electrons, and verified that the FitzGerald-Lorentz contraction (length contraction) should occur for bodies whose atoms were held together by electromagnetic forces. In his book Aether and Matter (1900), he again presented the Lorentz transformations, time dilation and length contraction (treating these as dynamic rather than kinematic effects). Larmor opposed Albert Einstein's theory of relativity (though he supported it for a short time). Larmor rejected both the curvature of space and the special theory of relativity, to the extent that he claimed that an absolute time was essential to astronomy.Larmor held that matter consisted of particles moving in the aether. Larmor believed the source of electric charge was a "particle" (which as early as 1894 he was referring to as the electron). Thus, in what was apparently the first specific prediction of time dilation, he wrote ". individual electrons describe corresponding parts of their orbits in times shorter for the [rest] system in the ratio (1 - v2/c2)1/2" (in the paper offered).
