‎Sur les Porte-Lumieres appliques a la Lampe. (And same author:) Observations sur l'Encre & le Papier.‎

‎(Berlin, C.F. Voss, 1772). 4to. Without wrappers, extracted from ""Nouveau Mémoires de l'Academie Royale des Sciences et belles-Lettres"", Année 1770, pp. 51-57 and pp. 58-67.‎

‎Both papers first edition. In the first paper the design of a new lamp is presented, modelled after Lambert's previous studies on the ""porte-voix"". The second deals with ink and paperdegeneration. Because a lot of Lambert's manuscripts became unreadable through water damage during the time they were stored in Switzerland before being transported to Berlin, Lambert goes into the causes of ink and paper degeneration. Through experimentation he arrives at the kind of ink and paper that withstand humidity best.‎

‎First appearance of Langevin landmark paper in which ""Langevin successfully applied Newtonian dynamics to a Brownian particle and so invented an analytical approach to random processes which has remained useful to this day."" (Lemonsa, Paul Langevin’s 1908 paper, P. 1079). In 1908, three years after Albert Einstein initiated the modern study of random processes with his ground breaking paper on Brownian motion, Paul Langevin devised a very different but likewise successful description of Brownian motion. Both descriptions have since been generalizedinto mathematically distinct but physically equivalent tools for studying an important class of continuous random processes. Langevin's work, like Einstein's, remains current and is widely referenced and discussed.""Langevin's approach to Brownian motion is, in his own words, ''in?nitely more simple'' than Einstein's. Indeed, his paper is apparently more simple and for this reason is attractive as an introduction to the subject. While Einstein, starting from reasonable hypotheses, derived and solved a partial differential equation (i.e., a Fokker-Planck equation) Governing the time evolution of the probability density of a Brownian particle, Langevin applied Newton's second law to a representative Brownian particle. In this way Langevin invented the ''F=ma'' of stochastic physics now called the ''Langevin equation.'' Today it is clear that the apparent simplicity of Langevin's approach was purchased at the cost of forcing into existence new mathematical objects with unusual properties. While Langevin manipulated these objects (Gaussian white noise and the stochastic differential equation) cautiously and intuitively, their formal properties have now been developed and widely applied. Thus Langevin's 1908 paper inspired new mathematics as well as new physics."" (Lemonsa, Paul Langevin’s 1908 paper, P. 1082).""In 1908, Langevin, whose skill in kinetic theory had first been developed when he worked on ionic transport, turned briefly to the theory of Brownian motion developed by Einstein in 1905 and, via a more direct route, by Smoluchowski in 1906. The result was simplified, still-standard treatment which, unlike Smoluchowski’s, produced precisely Einstein’s formula for the mean-square displacement."" (DSB) ,‎

‎First German edition of Laplace's groundbreeking papers on the ""Short-range Forces"" i.e. capillary action, cohesion of solids, chemical reactions etc., where Laplace makes a major contribution to the mathematization of the subject. The papers are his first contributions to mathematical physics, and appeared as supplements to Book X of the fourth volume of his ""Traité de mécanique céleste"".""The importence, for Laplace's theory, of the shortrange character of the molecular forces cannot be overstressed. Small terms involving the square of the distance were repeatedly ignored, and it is no coincidence that in his concluding remarks to the second supplement Laplace reiterated his belief in the idntity of the forces at work in optical refraction, capillary action, and chemical reactions. In accordance with his belief that capillarity is a consequence of intermolecular action at a distance (albeit a very small distance), he tried to determine the relativemagnitude of the attractive force between the particles composing the liquid (F1) and the force between the particles of liquid and those of the tube (F2).... experiments, performed at Laplace's request, by Gay-Lussac, Haüy, and Jean-Lois Trémary...gave the theory added plausibility, as Laplace himself was always ready to observe"" and they certainly helped it to survive the criticism of Laplace's only contemporary rival in the treatment of capillarity, Thomas Young.""(DSB XV, Suppl. I, pp. 358 ff.).‎

‎First printing of Lanczos exceelingly important paper in which he discovered an exact solution of the Einstein field equation which represents a cylindrically symmetric rigidly rotating configuration of dust particles. This was later rediscovered by Willem Jacob van Stockum and is known today as the van Stockum dust. It is one of the simplest known exact solutions in general relativity and regarded as an important example, in part because it exhibits closed timelike curves. Lanczos served as assistant to Albert Einstein during the period of 1928-29.‎
