Clean and fine. First appearance of a classic paper in which Crookes by his spectrographic methods confirms the discovery of argon by Ramsey and Ra…yleigh in 1895. The plate is the first to show the spectra of argon, the first of the inert gases to be discovered.The paper first describes the spectra obtained by passing an electric discharge through argon at very low pressures, Several specimens of argon (some containing traces of nitrogen) were invested. Crookes distinguished between the spectral lines attributable to argon and those of nitrogen and verified that the argon isolated by Lord rayleigh and William Ramsay was truly a new chemically inert element. (Neville I:p. 313).Sir William Crookes (1832-1919) studied at the Royal College of Chemistry , London, and served there as an assistant to Hoffmann. In 1859 he founded the Chemical News and remained its proprietor and editor until his death. he early attracted attentuion by his discovery of the element thallium by spectroscopic methods. he was an active investigator in many fields of physics and contributed greatly to the advance of knowledge by his study of the radiometer and of the electric discharge in rarefied gases. -(PMM: 386 describing J.J.

Pp. 1-16 a. pp. 17-21 and 1 lithographed plate First appearance of an importent paper in which Grove describes and depicts his invention - from 1839 - of the first FUEL CELL, which he named "The Gas Voltaic…Battery", and where he applied his anticipation of the principle of "Conservation of Energy" to the decomposition of water. and to the ignition of the released gases.In 1846, Grove published "On The Correlation of Physical Forces" in which he anticipated the general theory of the conservation of energy that was more famously put forward in Hermann von Helmholtz' Über die Erhaltung der Kraft (On the Conservation of Force) published the following year.His 1846 Bakerian lecture relied heavily on his theory.(The paper offered).During the early 1960s, General Electric produced the fuel-cell-based electrical power system for NASA's Gemini and Apollo space capsules. General Electric used the principles found in the "Bacon Cell" as the basis of its design. Today, the Space Shuttle's electricity is provided by fuel cells, and the same fuel cells provide drinking water for the crew.NASA decided that using nuclear reactors was too high a risk, and using batteries or solar power was too bulky to use in space vehicles. NASA has funded more than 200 research contracts exploring fuel-cell technology, bringing the technology to a level now viable for the private sector.

The lens was designed to improve the image projected by the camera obscura. By changing the shape of the lens, Wollaston was able to project a flatter image, eliminating much of the distortion that was a problem with many of that day's biconvex lenses" (DSB).

This was later renamed cystine, the first of the amino acids to be discovered. Fourcroy and Vauquelin reported similar investigations, but unaccountably gave no recognition to Wollaston.

First German edition of Nicholson's famous paper in which he, together with his friend Anthony Carlisle, succeeded in breaking up molecules into the constituent atoms of hydrogen and oxygen. They thus established the usefulness of the converse of the voltaic cell, by using electricity to produce chemical actions."On March 20 of that year (1820) Volta wrote to Banks, president ofthe Royal Society, informing him of his construction of an electric battery. Nicholson heard of this and with the aid of a friend built his own Voltaic pile by May 2. It was the first in England. Nicholson's great contribution was to place wires attached to the two ends of the pile in water. He found that with the current flowing, bubbles of gaz (hydrogen and oxygen) ere given off. He had "electolyzed" water, breaking up the molecules into the individual elements. He thus reversed the demonstration of Cavendish, that hydrogen and oxygen could unite to form water. This was the first demonstration that an electric current could bring about a chemical reaction - the reverse of olta's demonstration that a chemical action could bring about an electrical current."(Asimov).

Pp. 147-236, a few textillustr.,1 engraved plate and 2 large folded engraved maps (a general, representing the greater part of the world (42x93 cm) and Chart of the British Isles, drawn and engraved by J.& C. Walker.).…A small tear to world map. Clean and fine. First appearance of this classic, pioneering paper on the investigation of tidal phenomena. It is the first in a series of 16 papers Whewell made for the Royal Society. It contains the first printed cotidal world-map."Whewell took over the subject of mapping cotidal lines from Lubbock with entusiasm.He exercised the pioneer's privilege of coining new words and phrases appropriate to his subject. Many failed to stick, some phrases of Whewell's origin still occasionally used are: 'age of the tides', 'luni-tidal interval', 'semi-menstrual inequality' etc, etc.Whewell's initial cotidal map for the world ocean was presented in his first paper of 1833 (the paper offered). By his own admission, it was entirely preliminary and tentative, what nowadays might be called a "strawman", to stimulate discussionm. He later (1836) suggested smll modifications, especially near the coast of North America" these were incorporated in an 'improved' world map by G.B. Airy in his celebrated tratise on "Tides and wave", (Cartwright in "Tides. A Scientific History", pp.110-112.).

Entire volume offered. VIII,552 pp. Draper'spaper: pp. 217-225. First printing of the famous paper in which Draper relates how he was able to made the first photographic portrait on a daguerreotype plate, giving an ennormously long exposure. The subject of the portrait, Draper's assistant, powdered his face with flour and sat in front of the camera for a half hour facing the sunlight.Draper stated that it is possible to make portraits in full sunlight, using mirrors as light reflectors. "But in the reflected sunshine, the eye cannot support the effulgence of the rays. It is therefore necessary to pass them through some blue medium, which shall abstract from them their heat and take away their offensive brilliancy. Ihave used for this purpose blue glass, and also ammoniaco-sulphate of copper, contained in a large trough of plate glass, the interstice being about an inch thick." (p. 217 in the paper offerd)."Draper first achieved wide celebrity for his pioneering work in photography. As early as 1837, while still in Virginia, he had followed the example of Wedgwood and Davy in making temporary copies of objects by the action of light on sensitized surfaces. When the details of Daguerre?s process for fixing camera images were published in various New York newspapers on 20 September 1839, Draper was ready for the greatest remaining challenge, to take a photographic portrait. A New York mechanic, Alexander S. Wolcott, apparently won the race by 7 October. But if Draper knew of this, he persisted in his own experiments and succeeded in taking a portrait not later than December 1839. His communication to the Philosophical Magazine, dated 31 March 1840, was the first report received in Europe of any photographer?s success in portraiture. The superb likeness of his sister Dorothy Catharine, taken not later than July 1840, with an exposure of sixty-five seconds, seems to be the oldest surviving photographic portrait."(DSB).The volume contains also Michael Faraday's importent letter to Gay-Lussac on induction in the first English version.

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).

First appearence of this milestone paper, announcing the very first determination of the movement and velocity of a star. (Sirius). This discovery of the m…otion in the line of sight, the radial velocity, is of exceeding importence in astronomy, for it can be determined by shifts in the position of the spectral lines, without regard tothe distance of the star.In this paper Huggins applied to spectroscopic astronomy the principle enunciated by Doppler in 1841 that the positions of spectrum lines change as the object moves to or from the spectator. After consulting,in 1867 with James Clerk Maxwell, but wholly independent of him, Huggins presented to the Ropyal Society early in 1868, this paper with the observation on the spectrum of Sirius, from which a motion from the earth could be deduced of ab. 25 miles pr. second."William Huggins (1824-1910), English astronomer, a pioneer in spectroscopy and photography. He examined spectroscopically the chemical constitution of stars and comets, and the gaseous nature of planetary and diffuse nebulae" he applied the Doppler Principle to the measurement of the radial velocities of stars, and published an atlas of representative stellar spectra" (Ripley: Source Book in Astronomy).
