(London, Bulwer and Co., 1803). 4to. Without wrappers as extracted from "Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London." Year 1803 - Part I. Pp. 1-11, one textillustr. First printing of an importent paper in optical physics in which he investigates refraction phenomena over surfaces of water and in the atmosphere (mirage phenomena)., relating it to temperatures of air and land. He also announced his invention of the dip sector (modified sexton) that was used by Ross and Perry while exploring the arctic region.William Hyde Wollaston, (b. Aug. 6, 1766, d. Dec. 22, 1828), was an English chemist and physicist who discovered the elements palladium and rhodium and first reported the dark lines in the spectrum of the Sun. His consideration of geometrical arrangements of atoms led him into crystallography and the invention of the reflecting goniometer to measure angles of crystal faces. He also proved the elementary nature of niobium and titanium, developed a method of making platinum malleable, proved the identity of voltaic and frictional electricity, and invented the camera lucida to aid microscopists. The mineral Wollastonite was named in his honor. (Adventures in Cybersound).Another paper attached: James Smithson, "A chemical Analysis of some Calamines". Pp. 12-28.…

(London, W. Bulmer and Co., 1809). 4to. No wrappers as extracted from "Philosophical Transactions" 1809 - Part I. Pp. 253-258 and 1 engraved plate showing the Goniometer. Clean and fine. First appearance of this paper describing Wollaston's invention of the Goniometer."Nor was it only in chemistry that he (Wollaston) left his mark. He invented a goniometer, a device to measure the angles between crystal faces, which greatly advance mineralogical research. A calcium silicate mineral is named wollastonite in his honor." (Asimow)."When a surface is so small as one fiftieth of an inch in breadth, it becomes axtremely difficult to apply the short radius of a goniometer to it with correctness. But since a surface of that magnitude may reflect a very brilliant light, the reflected ray may be employed as radius, and may at pleasure be taken of such a lenght that the angles of small crystals can be known with as much precision as those of the largest surfaces."(Abstract).…

Allg. Journ. Chemie, 4/22. - Leipzig, Breitkopf & Härtel, 189, 8°, pp.329-434, orig. Broschur; unbeschnittenes Exemplar, in der sehr seltenen orig. Broschur. First German Edition! William Hyde Wollaston (1766-1828) "showed that, in addition to stones consisting of uric acid, renal calculi might also consist of calcium phosphate, magnesium, ammonium phosphate, and calcium oxalte, or a mixture of these" -cf. Garrison & Morton.…

(London, Bulwer and Co., 1804). 4to. Without wrappers as extracted from "Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London." Year 1804-Part II. Pp. 419-430. Clean and fine. First appearance of the paper in which Wollaston announced his discovery of the metallic element Rhodium."Dr. Wollaston dissolved a portion of crude platinum in qgua regia, and neutralized the excess acid with caustic soda. He then added salammoniac to precipitate the platinum as ammonium chloroplatinate, and mercurous cyanide to precipitate the palladium as palladium cyanide. After filteringoff the precipitate, he decomposed the excess mercurous cyanide inthe filtarate by adding hydrochloric acid and evaporating to dryness. When he washed the residue with alcohol, everything dissolved except a beautiful dark red powder, which proved to be a double chloride of sodium and a new metal, which because of the rose color of its salts, Dr. Wollaston named 'Rhodium'. He found that the sodium rhodium chloride could be easely reduced by heating it in a current of hydrogen, and that after the sodium chloride had been washed out, the rhodium remained as a metallic powder. he also succeeded in obtaining a rhodium button."(Weeks: Discovery of the Elements. p. 104-05.).…

London, W. Bulmer and Co., 1812. 4to. No wrappers as extracted from "Philosophical Transactions" 1812. With titlepage to the year 1812 - Part I. Pp. 370-377. Light yellowing to titlepage. First appearance of the paper in which Wollaston explains his invention and function of photography's first lens, the Wollaston Meniscus, invented more than 25 years before the first photography appeared."Wollaston developed the first lens specifically for camera lens called Wollaston's meniscus lens, or just meniscus lens, in 1812. 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).…

(London, W. Bulmer and Co., 1810). 4to. No wrappers as extracted from "Philosophical Transactions" 1810 - Part I. Pp. 223-230. Light browning to first leaf. Wide-margined. First appearance of this fundamental paper in the history of organic chemistry in which Wollaston announced his discovery of "Cystine", the very first of the amino acids, the building blocks of protein, to be discovered.Wollaston "in 1812 (correct 1810) identified a new and rare type of stone, which he called "cystic oxide" since it occurred in the bladder. 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. This led Alexander Marcet, a physician, to set matters right in a popular work dedicated to Wollaston."(DSB XIV, p. 492).Garrison & Morton: 668.1.…
