‎These papers represents the first full exposition of Laue's and his co-worker's discovery of the nature of X-Rays. The first two papers were printed the year before in ""Münchener Sitzungsberichte"", but finds their final form here and with the experimental confirmation by Laue and Tank. He showed that the regular spacing of the atoms in a crystal can serve as a grating of the desired precision, and he measures the wave-lenght of the X-rays.That crystals might be the appropriate grating for the X-rays proved to be well founded when Knipping, Friedrich and Tank found experimental confirmation of the theory.""It was in 1895 that Röntgen discovered a new form of radiation, to which, as its nature was so uncertain, he gave the name of the X-ray.....It was not until 1912, when von Laue showed it could be diffracted like ordinary light, that it was recognized with certainty as an ether wave of extremely short wave-lenght.Laue used a crystal for his diffraction grating...The X-ray is therefore identical with with light in respect to its nature, but differs greatly in quality: a state of things which is very favourable to an extension of our general knowledge of such radiations.""(William Bragg in ""The Universe of Light"", pp. 228 ff.).""It was the work of Laue and the experiments done by Friedrich and Knipping on his suggestion that cleared up the nature of X rays once and for all and that, moreover, beautifully demonstrated that crystals are composed of atoms arranged in a regular lattice......As in the case of Röntgen's original discovery, the photographs were extremely convincing. Other researchers immediately were attracted by the new field of X-ray spectroscopy and the discoveries by the Braggs and Mosely soon followed.""(Siegmund Brandt ""The harvest of a Century"", Episode 20, p. 80 ff.).""The awarding of the Nobel Prize in physics for 1914 to Laue indicated the significance of the discovery that Albert Einstein called ""ONE OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL IN PHYSICS"". Subsequently it was possible to investigate X radiation itself by means of wavelenght determinations as well as to study the structure of the irradiated material. In the truest sense of the word scientists began to cast light on the structure of matter.""(DSB VIII, p. 51).PMM: 406 (the first 2 papers in Münchener Sitzungsberichte).The offered issue of ""Annalen"" contains also an importent paper by P.

Gay-Lussac was annoyed at Davy's introsion. His work, however, is considered as a model of experimental research. (Leicester & Klickstein ""A Source Book of Chemistry"", p. 293).""Gay-Lussac's major publication on iodine was not ready to be read to the Institute until August 1814, by which time not only Davy but Vaquelin had explored the subject fairly extensively. Gay-Lussac, however, deserves full credit for his detailled study of hydrogen iodide, which he found to have a 50 percent hydrogen content by volume. He contrasted its thermal decomposition with the stability of hydrogen chloride. By the action of chlorine and iodine, he pepared, independently of Davy and at about the same time, iodine monochloride and trichloride. After further carefull study of the properties of iodine, he prepared and examined a number of iodides and iodates. He prepared for the first time ethyl iodide by distilling together concentrated hydriodic acid with absolute alcohol. The close analogy that he emphasized between chlorine and iodine led him to further investigation of the former, and he discovered chloric acid by the action of sulfuric acid on a solution of barium chlorate.""(DSB V, pp. 322-23). - Parkinson ""Breakthroughs"", 1814 C. - Duveen p. 237.The volume contains other importent chemical papers, A.

‎First appearance of Gerhardt's first papers on the new concept of ""homology"", perhaps his most notable contribution to organic chemistry.""Gerhardt’s most conspicuous contribution to the developemfent of organic chemistry was his homologous series. His earliest publications were characterized by attempts to arrange organic compounds in series of increasing complexity: his ""ladder of combustion,"" rising from water and carbon dioxide at the foot to albumin and fibrin at the summit, was analogue of the biologists’ ladder of nature, another biological analogy was to underlie the application of his homologous series when they were refined in 1843: Gerhardt presupposed a principle of plenitude in organic chemistry which dictated that hitherto undocumented members of any series must exist. In addition, the concept of homology itself was of biological origin, deriving from Cuvier. For Gerhardt, however, it did not carry that structural connotation which it had for Cuvier. On this subject Gerhardt, simply asserted: ""We call substances homologues when they exhibit the same chemical properties and when there are analogies in the relative proportions of their elements.""

By 1900 he had developed an improved method of fractional crystallization, producing a greater concentration of radium salts in a shorter time, by using bromide instead of chloride. One direct result of his highly influential efforts, by which pure radium bromide became commercially available for research, was the 1903 verification by William Ramsay and Frederick Soddy of the production of helium from radium. Giesel was the first to observe the decomposition of water by radium salts.""(DSB).When his close friends and nearby colleagues Julius Elster and Hans Geitel obtained inconclusive results regarding magnetic influence upon Becquerel rays, Giesel provided a key to these rays’ non-X-ray character by his decisive proof of their magnetic deflectability in October 1899.‎

Spine a bit rubbed. XVI,XXII,253 pp. and 3 large folded engraved plates with many figs. showing crystal forms and Nicholson's hydrometer. Some scattered brownspots, mainly at margins. A wide-margined copy.‎

‎Scarce first edition of Haüys landmark work on the crystallography of gemstones. Haüy had already in 1784 demonstrated the constancy of aspects of the geometric form of the individual crystals and hereby he laid the foundation stones of the science of Crystallography in general. In the offered work he applies his crystal-discoveries of the constancy of angles to the cutting of gems, thus providing us with the first handbook to show how to determine different kinds of gemstones, and he thereby also founded the science of Gemology. ""He hypothesized that each crystal was built up of successive additions of what we now call a ""unit cell"" to form - in the absence of external inteference - a simple geometric shape with constant angles and with sides trhat could be related by simple integral ratios. he maintained that an identity of difference in crystalline form implied an identity or difference in chemical composition. This was the beginning of the science of crystallograpy, which was to attain maturity over a century later with the development of X-ray techniques by Laue and Bragg.""(Asimov).‎

‎First printing of Heisenberg's importent paper on the complex spectra of many-electron atoms, - the third paper Heisenberg submitted from Copenhagen on the Quantum Theory.""The paper on multiplet structure and anomalous Zeeman effects..., contained a complete discussion of the problem at that time. This paper had the blessing of Niels Bohr"" also Pauli, who was in Copenhagen when the paper was completed, agreed with its overall content. The central goal of the paper was to formulate what Bohr called 'the stress (constraint), which is not analogous to the action of external forces' and to derive quantitative conclusions from it.""

‎First appearance of this founding paper in the modern theory of colour, in which Helmholtz proved the surprising fact that there are only two among the colours of the spectrum, yellow and indigo-blue, which together yields pure white, that is, are complementary to each other, whereas their combination had always been supposed to produce green.""Helmholtz turned to the intricate problems of color vision in 1852 with an attack on Sir David Brewster's new theory of light. Brewster had maintained the objective reality of three primary colors by supposing, in opposition to Newton, that there exist three distinct kinds of light, each of which excites in the eye one of the sensations red, yellow, or blue. Helmholtz regarded the theory as still another confusion of physical stimulus and subjective responce....He also revived Young's theory of color visoin...only to refute it. He had discovered that spectral colors, when mixed, always yield a duller color of less-than-spectral saturation. Therefore the whole idea that all colors may be obtained from mixtures of three primary colors must be incorrect, he concluded, for the spectral colorss, at least, can never be obtained in their full saturation by mixing any three of their number....Although Helmholtz dismissed Young's theory in 1852, by 1858 he had changed his mind and become its formost advocate. In order to save Ypoung's theory....Helmholtz asumed that Young's physiological primaries are not spectral colors att all, but colors of far greater-than-spectral saturation...""(DSB VI, pp. 246-247).

‎First appearance of this paper in which Helmholtz for the first time measures and gives the mathematical formula for the duration of induced electrical currents and thus distinguished with mathematical accuracy from those due to nerve-action.""In (the offered paper) he begins by stating a mathematical law, which he had verified by a long and difficult series of experiments. By means of this law F. neumann was enabled to solve the problem he had previously laid aside, as to the distribution of current in a copper disk rotating below the two poles of a magnet......After Helmholtz had extended this exponiential law mathematically to divided circuits, he tested it experimentally by means of a new type of galvanic contact-key, which madeit possible to vary the interval between the opening and closing of any current, as required.""(Koenigsberger ""Hermann von helmholtz"", pp. 79-80).‎
