‎First publication of the influential paper in which the Brans-Dicke theory of gravitation, a theoretical framework to explain gravitation, is presented for the first time.

‎First printing of pioneer paper in which Brewster laid the foundations of new fields of investigations. by showing that in a large class of crystals there are two axes along which there is no double refraction. Such crystals he calls BIAXAL, the simpler type to which Iceland spar belongs being called UNIAXAL.""Brewster created new fields of optical mineralogy and photoelasticity. In 1813, while studying the ""depolarising"" action of Topaz, he observed two sets of elliptical rings (interference patterns) centered on axes in the Topaz that were apparently inclined at 65 degr.. He interpreted this to mean that Topaz must have two axes, not one, of double refraction, an entirely unexpected result. After many laborious experiments he was able in 1819 to group all but a few of hundreds of minerals and crystals into mutually consistent optical and mineralogical categories: the primitive form determined the number of axes of double refraction.""(DSB).‎

‎First printing of an importent paper in the history of optics describing the photoeleasticity of glass.In the paper Brewster describes numerous investigations of birefringent glass. While Seebeck related birefringence of glass to its internal structure, Brewster considered heat as the cause of birefringence. The paper is a very thorough investigation of refringence in glass with numerous examples. To illustrate, Fig. 3 shows photoelastic patterns of a thick quadratic plate. Brewster actually comes close to the real reason of birefringence in glass: ""I have discovered that glass, and all other substances that have not the property of double refraction, are capable of receiving it from mechanical pressure, and that a compressing force always produces the structure which givesthe exterior fringes in crystallized glass, while a dilating force produces the structure which develops the interior fringes."" Brewster suggests that glass should be carefully examined by polarized lightbefore it is purchased.Together with the Brewster-paper comes a paper by John Frederick W. Herschel: ""On the development of exponential functions"" together with several new theorems relating to finite differences."" Pp. 25-45.‎

This new photographic drum method ensured continuous recording of geomagnetic elements, and rapidly gained use all over the world.The instrumental developments by Ronalds and Brooke establishedthe standard technique employed for magnetic observatory recording for more than a century.In 1845 Charles Brooke devised a self-recording photographic magnetometer with a light-source, a mirror for amplifying the magnet’s movement, and a drum of photographic paper. This system gradually replaced the older manual method of taking eye-observations through vertical microscope which scanned the ends of a magnetic needle" the magnetic needle itself was suspended by a bunch of silk fibersWheeler Gift No 2858..‎
