KLUGEL GEORG SIMON 1739 1812.
Analytische Dioptrik in zwey Theilen. Der erste enthalt die allgemeine Theorie der optischen Werkzeuge: der zweyte die besondere Theorie und vortheilhafteste Einrichtung aller Gattungen von Fernrohren Spiegelteleskopen und Mikroskopen.
Leipzig:: Johann Friederich Junius 1778. 1778. 2 parts in 1 vol. Sm. 4to. xxiv 303 1 pp. Title vignette 4 folding engraved plates with 32 figs. head and tail-pieces. Original half calf decorative boards; very worn joints splitting extremities well worn. Title page signed by J. G. Kohler; bookplate of Ing. Dr. Edmund Neusser. First edition dedicated to the famous mathematician Leonhard Euler 1707-1783. Klugel based his writings on that of Euler's work on optics. In his parts VII and VIII he deals with the telescope and especially the microscope. / Euler's own work on the theory of the achromatic microscope was written as early as 1762 and 1771 when he dealt with the subject more fully. In 1774 Euler's pupil and friend Nicolas Fuss wrote a little book on how to construct an achromatic microscope. Klugel translated that work in 1778 and then followed that with this more thorough treatment being his Analytische Dioptrik also 1778. Due to the crudeness of design of the objective made in 1791by Francois Beeldsnyder 1755-1808 a colonel in the Amsterdam cavalry Mayall asserts and others uphold this view that he feels the discussion of the dates of origin or this instrument are at best unclear. :: Mayall. See also: S. Bradbury The Evolution of the Microscope pp. 179-180. / Georg Simon Klugel 1739-1812 German mathematician and physicist born in Hamburg studied under Abraham Kastner "the best teacher of mathematics in Germany" :: Vincenzo De Risi Gerolamo Saccheri 1667-1733 Euclid Vindicated from Every Blemish: Edited and Annotated . . . 2014 p.52. at the University of Gottingen. He was appointed professor of mathematics at the University of Helmstedt and then was chair of mathematics and physics at the University of Halle. In this compendious work he corrected some of Euler's results and expanded with his own findings. In 1803-31 he published his famous dictionary of mathematics Mathematisches Worterbuch 5 vols. / Provenance II: I Johann Gottfried Kohler 1745-1801 Germen astronomer known for discovering a number of nebulae start clusters and galaxies. He was a colleague of Johann Elert Bode another German astronomer of importance. In 1785 Kohler was appointed jointly director of the Desden Mathematisch-Physikalischer Salon and the Kunstkammer. His catalogue of nebulae was published in 1780. He wrote a number of astronomical papers in German and the following in the Philosophical Transactions "Observations on the transit of Mercury 1786 May 4 at Dresden" P.T. 1787.

BALLANCHE Pierre Simon 1776 1847.
Antigone. L'Homme Sans Nom.
Paris:: H.-L. Delloye 1841. 1841. 8vo. 442 6 36 4 30 6 44 4 250 54 pp. Occasional scattered foxing not affecting legibility. Quarter gilt-stamped red leather over red marbled paper-backed boards all edges marbled; cover edges and corners gently rubbed. Near fine. According to a pencil note on the free rear endpaper the ink signature and inscription below is that of Alexis Guignard Comte de Saint-Priest 1805-51 a French diplomat and historian of the Academie Francais. This work contains two stories: Antigone and L'Homme Sans Nom. Antigone a re-working of Sophocles' original story achieved popularity in France because it was seen as a reflection of the suffering of Louis XIV's daughter the Duchesse d'Angpuleme but Ballanche's actual muse was Juliette Recamier a beautiful and brilliant Parisian who hosted a rather famous salon. In her Ballanche perceived "a kindred unhappiness." Her "incapacity for happiness he argued is a sign of the awareness of a fallen creature of its divine origin and its nostalgia for a celestial home" McCalla 49. He saw her beauty as a reflection of her moral perfection. L'Homme Sans Nom centers on a "nameless man" who is on the council that votes for the regicide of Louis XIV in 1793; wary of inflaming political public opinion because of the recent assassination of the Duc de Berry by a Bonapartist Ballanche limited the first 1820 edition of the story to a run of 100 copies. He intended his new work "as advice for the King and a small circle of political leaders" rather than the general populace" McCalla 78. Ballanche was a French philosopher who favored a view of history in which mankind achieves "progress through ordeals." Essentially "a past epoch could possess its own rightness and legitimacy even as it had lost the right to continue" which he described in his work Palingenesie Wikipedia. "He is considered by some French critics as a great writer and profound thinker but by others his writings are regarded as mystical and obscure" Thomas 253. McCalla Arthur. A Romantic Historiosophy: the Philosophy of History of Pierre-Simon Ballanche. Leiden The Netherlands: Brill 1998; Thomas J. "Ballanche Pierre-Simon."

OHM Georg Simon 1789 1854.
Vorlaufige Anzeige des Gesetzes nach welchem Metalle die Contakteletricitat leiten.
Leipzig:: Joh. Ambrosius Barth 1825. 1825. Contained in: Annalen der Physik und Chemie Vol. 4. J. C. Poggendorff ed. pp. 79-83. 8vo. 12 476 pp. 4 folding charts 6 engraved plates 2 folding. Modern brown marbled boards printed paper spine label; extremities rubbed. Bookplate of Andras Gedeon institutional exlib stamps. Very good. FIRST EDITION. THE PRELIMINARY ANNOUNCEMENT OF OHM'S LAW; HIS FIRST PUBLICATION. This short article in Annalen der Physik und Chemie preceded Ohm's book Die Galvanische Kette Mathematische Bearbeitet 1827 and is his first published scientific paper May 1825. Ohm began publishing his electricity researches in 1825 with his Vorlaufige Anzeige des Gesetzes nach welchem Metalle die Contakteletricitat leiten a paper in which he sought to find a functional relationship between the decrease in the electromagnetic force exerted by a current-carrying wire and the length of the wire. Although this paper contained some fundamental errors it was remarkable for its direct foundation on experiment a characteristic of all Ohm's early papers. In February and April of the following year Ohm published two important papers dealing separately with the two major aspects of his theory of galvanic electricity which he would later unify in his landmark Die galvanische Kette. DSB. "From the zinc and copper poles of a voltaic pile he ran two wires A and B the free ends of which terminated in small mercury-filled cups M. and N; between M and another cup O he ran a third wire C. Together A B and C formed what he called the 'invariable conductor' to distinguish it from one of the seven wires of different lengths that when placed in the circuit between O and N constituted the 'variable conductor'. . . over wire C Ohm hung the magnetic needle of a Coulomb torsion balance which served to measure the electromagnetic force exerted when one of the variable conductors completed the circuit. . . Tabulating these values against the lengths of the wires he found that his data were well represented by the formula v = 0.41 log 1x where v is the loss in force and x is the length of the wire in feet." DSB. In modern application the formula is simplified to v = i r; voltage being equal to current and resistance. Reference: DSB Vol. X p. 187. Joh. Ambrosius Barth, 1825. hardcover books

Milton John. Illustrated by Richard Westall. Plates engraved by F. P. Simon.
The Poetical Works of John Milton. With a Life of the Author by William Hayley 3 Volumes
London: Printed by W. Bulmer & Co. Shakspeare Printing-Office for John & Josiah Boydell and George Nicol. From the Types of W. Martin. 1794 1795 1797. First Edition. Full Gilt and Blindstamped Morocco. Near Fine. Folio 32 by 26 cm. cxxxiii 3 213 286 300 pp. 32 hand-colored mezzotint plates within the 3 volumes one plate folding. Among them are three reproductions of Milton portraits including Milton as an infant as a boy and the famous Romney painting of the blind Milton dictating to his daughters this plate being the folding one. To our knowledge this copy of the Boydell Milton is an uniquely hand-colored copy. All the plates other than the Milton portraits are the artwork of Westall. These have an unmistakable affinity to the heroic style of Blake his contemporary. The men and even the women can have exaggerated bulging muscles as found most famously in Michelangelo. As invited by Milton's epic light contends with dark and the illustrations serve up a phantasmagoria of imagery with swirling shadows and specters. The hand-coloring is of a very high caliber and we think greatly enriches the mezzotints. The three volumes contain all the major poetry of Milton -- "Paradise Lost" "Paradise Regained" "Samson Agonistes" "Comus" etc. etc. Note all half-titles are present. Binding of a rich russet/crimson straight-grained morocco with bands of blindstamping and gilt-stamping decoration on the boards and gilt decoration within and on the raised bands. Decoration consists of ruling Greek palmettos and more floral rinceaux bands. Conditiion: morocco binding with minor abrasions and wear. One leaf with repaired tear Vol. II pp. 103/4. Pages generally clean plates bright. All volumes tight. Printed by W. Bulmer & Co., Shakspeare Printing-Office, for John & Josiah Boydell, and George Nicol. From the Types of W. Marti books

Simon Yates is probably best known much to his chagrin as "the guy who cut the rope" on Joe Simpson during their descent of a new route on the West Face of the Siula Grande in the Peruvian Andes. In Flame of Adventure Yates touches on this famous story and shares his perspective on climbing styles; he also shares tales of personal embarrassment childhood experiences and the different cultures he has encountered in his travels. He looks at himself through the eyes of "civilization" talking about using his climbing skills while working on a construction site and the terror his apparent risks triggers in other workers. He in turn is amazed by their perspective. The Mountaineers Books paperback books

Big Bang: The Origin of the Universe
Fourth Estate / Harper Collins 2004. 2nd Printing. Hard Cover. Very Good/Very Good. 2nd printing. Jacket lightly toned 1/2 inch tear on jacket corner. 2004 Hard Cover. 532 pp. 8vo. "We've all heard of the Big Bang and yet few of us truly know what it is. Renowned for making difficult ideas much less difficult than they might first appear Simon Singh is our perfect guide to explaining why cosmologists believe that the Big Bang is an accurate description of the origin and evolution of the universe. This highly readable and entertaining book tells the story of the many brilliant often eccentric scientists who fought against the establishment idea of an eternal and unchanging cosmos. From such early Greek cosmologists as Anaximander to recent satellite measurements taken deep in space Big Bang is a narrative full of anecdotes and personal histories. With characteristic clarity Simon Singh tells the centuries-long story of mankind's attempt to understand how the universe came to be a story which itself begins some 14 billion years ago give or take a billion years. Simon Singh shows us that it is within the capability of all of us -- in his expert hands -- to understand the Big Bang: the fundamental theory in all of science and a high point -- perhaps the high point -- of human achievement.
