Title-page with a faint rubberstamp. The Michelson-paper: pp. 120-129. Two leaves with small tear to the margin. � The seminal first edition of the first description of the first version of a series of experiments with the Interferometer which was built by Michelson and with which he planned to measure the relative speeds of light-waves moving at right angles to each other - an experiment that would ultimately lead to the special theory of relativity. The series of experiments ended with the so-called "Michelson-Morley experiment" the results of which were published 6 years after Michelson's first experiment the item offered here. <br><br>The 1887 paper written together with Morley constituted an improved attempt of the 1881- version of the experiment. The experiments were designed to calculate the effect of the earth's motion on the passage of light rays through the "luminous ether" which was believed to surround the earth. The experiments were negative and as such led to the introduction of relativity.<br><br>"Michelson tried to determinate the relation of ether drift and the velocity of light effect of extremely minute values.no drift could be found and the "negative result held revolutionary implications which led directly through Lorentz and Einstein to the acceptance of new standards of reference of time and space from geometry an cosmometry."Dibner.<br><br>In 1919 Einstein met Michelson in California. At a dinner given in honor of them both Einstein said in a speech "You Michelson uncovered an insidious defect in the ether theory of light as it existed and stimulated the ideas of H.A. Lorentz and Fitzgerald out of which the Special Theory of Relativity developed. Without your work this theory would today be scarcely more than an interesting speculation." In an interview in 1842 Einstein said: "It is no doubt that Michelson's experiment was of considerably influence upon my work insofar as it strengthened my conviction concerning the validity of the Principle of relativity.On the other side I was pretty much convinced of the validity of the principle before I did know this experiment and its result. In any case Michelson's experiment removed practically any doubt about the validity of the principle in optics and showed that a profound change of the basic concepts of physics was inevitable."<br><br>Michelson was awarded the 1907 Nobel Prize "for his optical precision instrument the inteferometer and the spectroscopic and metrological investigations he has carried on."<br>Dibner: Heralds of Science: 161 the 1887-experiment - Vide PMM: 378410408. unknown

This work functioned as an official response to the Lutheran Historia Ecclesiae Christi History of the Church of Christ. In that work the Magdeburg theologians surveyed the history of the Christian church in order to demonstrate how the Catholic Church represented the Antichrist and had deviated from the beliefs and practices of the early church. In turn the Annales fully supported the claims of the papacy to lead the unique true church.<br><br>"Before Baronius was appointed Librarian of the Vatican in 1597 he had access to material and sources in its archives that were previously unpublished or unused. He used these in the development of his work. Accordingly the documentation in Annales Ecclesiastici is considered by most as extremely useful and complete. Lord Acton called it "the greatest history of the Church ever written.""<br><br>Graesse I 296. - Brunet I 662-631. hardcover

Amsterdam North-Holland 1966. 8vo. Publishers full cloth with dust jacket. Both in fine condition. Previous owners signature to front free end paper.Otherwise completely clean throughout. A fine copy. � First edition of this foundational work in mathematics. In this book Robinson gave the first rigorous formulation of Analysis using infinitesimals. Both Leibniz and Newton had used the notion of infinitesimals when they developed the Differentail and Integral Calculus in the 17th century. As Leibniz argued the theory of infinitesimals implies the introduction of ideal numbers which might be infinitely small or large compared to the real numbers. However neither he nor his disciples and succesors were able to give a rational development leading up to a system of this sort. As a result the theory of infinitesimals gradually fell into disrepute and was replaced by eventually by the classical theory of limits. Robinson was the first to show that Leibniz's ideas in fact can be fully vindicated and that they lead to a fruitful approach to classical Analysis. He coined his model "Non-Standard Anlysis". hardcover
