Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - â??A Short Account of Experiments and Instrumentsâ? by John Leslie offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of early 19th-century scientific inquiry. This work details various experiments and the instruments used to conduct them, providing insight into the methodologies and technologies employed by scientists of the period. Leslie's account serves as a valuable resource for understanding the evolution of scientific thought and the practical challenges of conducting experiments during this era. The book's clear and concise descriptions make it accessible to both scholars and enthusiasts interested in the history of science and technology.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.

2 books bound in 1 volume. Thick 8vo. xv, [1], 562; iv, 178, [2] pp. 9 engraved folding plates (incl. frontis.), engraved 2nd frontis., errata slip; occasional minor dampstaining at top edge, minor foxing. Contemporary half calf, marbled boards, gilt spine, gilt -stamped black leather spine label; extremities rubbed. Very good. Rare. FIRST EDITION of Leslie's two most important works, bound as one. "Leslie's Experimental Inquiry (1804) established several fundamental laws of heat radiation: that the emissivity and absorptivity for any surface are equal, that the emissivity of a surface increases with the decrease of reflectivity, and that the intensity of heat radiated from a surface is proportional to the sine of the angle of the rays to the surface. The book also played a major role in the early nineteenth-century argument about whether heat was a form of matter or a mode of motion." â" DSB, VII, p. 261. / A Short Account of Experiments and Instruments. . . (1813) describes, among other things, Leslie's achievement of artificial congelation using sulfuric acidâ"the first time anyone ever artificially froze water. / Sir John Leslie (1766-1832), mathematician and natural philosopher, studied at St. Andrews and Edinburgh, he began teaching, including members of the Wedgwood family, even taking a year in Virginia, then to London and Holland. He was a frequent traveler throughout his life. During his tours through northern Germany and Switzerland he found value in studying glaciers. "The result of his researches appeared in 1804 in his 'Experimental Inquiry into the Nature and Properties of Heat,' dedicated to his friend Thomas Wedgwood. It is an important contribution to the scientific study of the subject; the experimental methods and results were sound and fruitful, and at the same time attractively simple; and his hypotheses based thereon, though proved inadequate by later discoveries, were nevertheless a substantial advance on those current at the time. It is by his discoveries in relation to the radiation of heat, first announced in this volume, that the name of Leslie is now most widely known. His work obtained speedy recognition from the Royal Society of London, which awarded him the Rumford medal in 1805." [DNB].

8vo., First Edition, with engraved plate of instruments; strongly bound in twentieth-century navy cloth, backstrip with printed paper label, patterned endpapers, a remarkably bright, clean, crisp copy. With the bookplate of Dr. Sydney Ross (Rensselaer Polytechnic, NY) on front paste-down. The plate (by Grant) depicts 10 views of Leslie's instruments used in the various experiments. Sir John Leslie (1766-1832), mathematician and physicist, gave the first modern account of capillary action (1802), and succeeded in freezing water using an air-pump in 1810 - the first artificial production of ice. Professor Sydney Ross (1915-2013), chemist and bibliophile, was Emeritus Professor of Colloid Chemistry at Rensselauer, and author of Nineteenth-Century Attitudes: Men of Science. VERY SCARCE.…

8vo, pp. iv, 178, 1 leaf (description of the plate), 1 engraved plate with 10 figures of Leslie?s apparatus. Contemporary calf, flat spine gilt and with red morocco label. Armorial bookplate of William Brodie of Brodie. Plate a little foxed, bookplate offset onto front free endpaper, but a nice copy. FIRST EDITION. This book embodies the continuation of Leslie?s important work on heat, and is ?full of important and original work? (DNB). In it he describes how he successfully applied the absorbent powers of sulphuric acid to freeze water in an evacuated receiver. This is the first recorded achievement of artificial congelation, and in 1817 he developed a method for making artificial ice. The principle was exploited by Ferdinand Carré in 1860, who created the first laboratory ice machines. The way was then open for its commercial use for the long-term transportation and storage of foodstuffs, the preservation of cadavers, and numerous other applications, including, of course, cold beer.…
