hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. Publication: London, John Murray, 1879 Formatting: 8vo, pp. [viii], 320. Condition Report: Very Good. The half-leather binding remains remarkably tight and structurally sound, presenting a highly attractive profile on the shelf. The leather spine showcases bright, unoxidised gilt floral tooling across its six compartments, though there is some expected mild rubbing to the raised bands and extremities. The cloth boards are clean, with the gilt coat of arms of the Archbishopric of York stamped crisply on the upper board, retaining its original lustre. Internally, the text block is firm; the endpapers exhibit some mild foxing and age-toning, but the interior leaves are otherwise generally clean and bright. The rough-cut text block edges show typical but minor shelf-wear. Overall, it stands as a sturdy, well-preserved volume that has clearly been treated with respect. Catalogue Note: This volume represents the first edition of Thomsonâs collected theological and philosophical papers. The defining feature of this copy is the prominent gilt coat of arms of the Archbishopric of York stamped on the upper board. Given that the author, William Thomson, served as the Archbishop of York during this period, this distinctive binding strongly suggests the volume originates directly from his personal or official library. Such a provenance elevates this copy from a standard theological text to a notable piece of ecclesiastical history. While standard cloth editions of Thomson's works occasionally surface on the open market, copies bound in half-leather bearing the Archbishop's own arms are decidedly scarce, making this a unique acquisition for collectors of Anglican history or fine nineteenth-century bindings. Word, Work, and Will is a compelling compilation of papers by William Thomson, the eminent nineteenth-century Archbishop of York. Known for his progressive stances and robust theological intellect, Thomson addresses a wide array of profound subjects in this volume, ranging from the Synoptic Gospels and the death of Christ to the philosophical limits of inquiry and the design in nature. It serves as a fascinating window into the ecclesiastical and philosophical debates of Victorian England, delivered by one of the era's leading churchmen. N/A (illustrator). …

Clean and fine. First appearance of Lord kelvin's large account of his thermo-electric researches in which he found, that the Peltier-effect must be directly proportional to the absolute temperature in a circuit formed of two metals. "This result, however, as Thomson well knew, was contradicted by the observations of Cumming, who had shown that when the temperature of the hot junction is gradually increased, the electromotive force rises to a maximum value and then decreases. The contradiction led Thomson to PREDICT THE EXISTANCE OF A HITHERTO UNRECOGNIZED THERMO-ELECTRIC PHENOMENON - namely, a reversible absorption of heat at places in the circuit other than the junctions.(Whittaker "A History of the Theories of Aether & Electricity", pp. 237-38).…

For the most part they remained healthy for the first month until reaching Iddah after which many of here crew were struck down with fever until matters were so grave that even the determined Capt. Trotter was forced to order  Capt Allen retreat to the coast while he pushed on in the hopes of reaching a healthier climate upstream.  But fever  continued too ravage the crew and by the 8th August any further progress was clearly impossible. The expedition was considered a disastrous  failure though Commander Allen cites the three  treaties signed with the most influential potentates on the river to have constituted partial success.…

First appearance of all the 6 founding papers around the invention of the "Harmonic Analyzer" and with the mathematical theory for the differential analyzor, containing both the mathematical theories and the practical descriptions of the analyzer and further also having the paper by Lord Kelvin's brother (the first paper offered) in which the machinery is shown for the first time."A ball and disk integrator was the vital invention needed to build the FIRST AUTOMATIC ANALOG COMPUTING MACHINES. Lord kelvin used this integrator -devised for a planimeter in the 1860s by his brother, James Thomson - on two new kinds of analog computers: a harmonic analyzer and a tide predictor. he later specified a more general machine - a differential analyzer."(Eames in "A Computer Perspective")."The harmonic analyzer was used in conjunction with Thomson's tide predictor.The present paper ("Harmonic Analyzer") contains the first full description of the harmoniz analyzer, which was "designed rudimentally" (p. 371) in Thomson's "On an integrating machine having a new kinematic principle"(also offered here),James Thomson's integrator - "one of the first really workable integrating devices" (Williams 1985, 207) - served as the basis for other analog machines designed by William Thomson for solving simultaneous linear equations and integrating differential equations. Thomson first described such a machine, composed of several Thomson integrators connedted together, in his paper on "Mechanical integration of the linear differentialequations of the decond order." (also offred here)" however the "idea could then hardly be carried out, forone reason because an integrator, which is simply a variable- speed drive, could not then be buitl both accurate and capable of carrying sufficient load to move numerous mechanical parts" (Bush 193, 450). The full realization of Thomson's idea did not come until fifty years later, when Vannevar Bush invented the torque amplifier for use in his differential analyzer."(Hook and Norman). …
