‎Seaborg chemistry ATOM BOMB‎

‎Seaborg 3 page handwritten scientific manuscript on a Scholarly piece on Analytical Chemistry of the Elements and Transplutonium Elements with Atomic Numbers 95 to 104‎

‎Glenn Seaborg Nobel Prize scientist who discovered plutonium. Section head in the Manhattan Project. In Los Alamos Seaborg discovered isotope plutonium-239 and showed that it was fissionable with slow neutrons and hence plutonium-239 became the explosive material in the atomic bomb. This led to the plutonium part of the Manhattan Project. However in June 1945 he signed the Franck Report opposing the use of the bomb against a large city before the demonstration of its destructive power to the enemy. But President Truman ignored its suggestions and ordered the Bombing of Hiroshima. Seaborg later also discovered radioisotopes used to treat millions of cancer patients. Scientific Autograph Manuscript Unsigned3 pages in pencil on lined paper. Unsigned but entirely in his hand and with Seaborg's personal stamp at the top and the original envelope. <br/>The manuscript is a review of a piece of scientific scholarly writing monograph. Seaborg writes: ".a part of a series on Analytical Chemistry of the Elements prepared by the Vernadski Institute of Geochemistry and Analytical Chemistry.it deals with the transplutonium elements with atomic numbers 95 to 104 inclusive and covers the literature through 1969.The title is misleading in that the monograph covers much more than analytical chemistry to the pleasant surprise of the reviewer. The first chapter includes a brief account of the discovery of these elements . Included is a discussion of the radioactive proportions .of the most important about 25 isotopes of the methods of production. Included also is a discussion of the solid compounds and their methods of formation. Chapter III is devoted to the methods of analytical determination-radiometric chemical separation by ion exchange and solvent extractions. reactions with organic reagents. This monograph.would be a worthwhile addition to the library of.inorganic chemists." . In excellent condition. unknown books‎

‎Marcet Jane The author of Conversations on Chemistry Political Economy &c‎

‎John Hopkins' Notions on Political Economy Presentation Copy‎

‎London: Longman Rees Orme Brown Greene & Longman 1833. First edition. Near Fine. Publisher's cloth binding retaining the delicate paper label to front board. Some bumping to corners and faint spotting to boards but a pleasing square copy in all. Internally a clean with just a bit of scattered foxing to endpapers and preliminaries. Scarce on the market this book documents Marcet's efforts to expand knowledge access to the working classes in order to make political self-advocacy possible. Presented by Marcet to Professor Pierre Prevost the philosopher and physicist best known for his experiment on the body's radiation of heat this copy bears his ownership signature on the front endpaper and an inscription from Marcet at the header of the title: "Prof. Prevost from the Author." <br/><br/>A peer of such feminist thinkers as Maria Edgeworth Marcet is considered one of the most important figures in the history of women's education in science and economics. Her "Conversations" books which include texts on politics economics and science were ranked among the best-known educational texts of the nineteenth century. In addition to making these rigorous fields accessible to women who might otherwise be denied such training they also welcomed in young boys whose access to quality education might be hindered by class. Among her most famous readers was Michael Faraday who encountered her books while serving as a bookbinder's apprentice and was inspired to delve more deeply into the sciences Science History Institute. The present work seeks to popularize economic theory and put forward an argument for decreasing wage gaps among rich and poor; and in line with her overall project Marcet seeks to make her argument accessible to readers of all education levels. Wrapped in allegory in order to welcome in labor-class readers who may not have complex economic vocabularies Marcet's tale posits the need for new economic policy into a series of nine allegorical essays told "through the eyes of honest John Hopkins a laborer on low wages" Liberty. Scholars have increasingly viewed John Hopkins as an important and previously undervalued piece of Marcet's oeuvre; and her desire to bring the working class into dialogue about their own economic state signals an important cultural change. "Marcet was engaged in the work of the knowledge broker -- creating and maintaining networks between and among scientists and the larger public. Knowledge sharing was based upon the personal and social connections she facilitated by bringing together bankers scientists and professional economists such as Malthus Ricardo Mill and others. It was extended to the popular culture through the many editions of her Conversations addressed to the middle classes and enlarged to include the working classes with her John Hopkins's Notions on Political Economy" L. Forget. Lesser known but nonetheless one of Marcet's culturally important contributions this volume contains important lessons on how to expand a class's knowledge base and provide the tools for political and economic self-advocacy. Notably this copy reveals the influential scientific communities she participated in connecting her to men in the hard sciences who knew of and read her work.<br/><br/>Feminist Companion 713.

‎London:: printed for Dan. Brown at the Black Swan without Temple-Bar; Tho. Bennet at the Half-Moon D. Midwinter and Tho. Leigh at the Rose and Crown and R. Wilkin at the King’s-Head in St. Paul’s Church-yard 1699. FIRST ENGLISH EDITION of Jean Haudicquer de Blancourt's "De l’art de la verrerie". Octavo:. 18.3 x 11.5 cm. 16 355 13 p. Collation: A-Z8 Aa8. With 9 engraved plates. Bound in contemporary English paneled calf rebacked. Very fine condition. Two plates lightly browned marginal foxing to a few leaves. Illustrated with 9 engraved plates of glass-making furnaces tools crucibles and other apparatus. The core of Blancourt's text is Christopher Merret's annotated Latin edition 1668 of Antonio Neri's "L'Arte Vetraria"1612. Merret had produced his own English unillustrated translation of Neri's work in 1662. Among Blancourt's notable contributions to the text are a chapter on crystal glass and metal mirrors; and an appendix on a secret technique for making glass eyes look "Very Natural". "Antonio Neri’s 'L'Arte Vetraria' as the first printed book solely devoted to the art of glass formulation. It is a work committed to the subject of refining raw materials and combining them into a range of glasses and a rainbow of colors. The book divides into seven parts each devoted to a different aspect of the glassmaker’s art. He starts with the basics: preparing the fundamental ingredients of glass. Next he combines those materials into “cristallo.†Named after its mineral cousin rock crystal cristallo was a sophisticated Venetian specialty renowned for its delicate clarity. Neri details its traditional composition as brought to the Medici court by Venetian masters and then innovates with variations of his own. "At the other end of the spectrum is his “common†glass used for daily utilitarian purposes. He shows the standard formulas used in shops throughout the region and then proceeds to improve upon them. He presents a gamut of colors as well as advice for the glass “to emerge in full beauty and perfection." He shows the way to decolorize glass to take away even a slight tinge of hue that may be present and bring the melt to perfect crystal clarity. He walks us through numerous recipes in preparation for making an iconic Renaissance glass including the exquisite chalcedony—engineered to replicate the swirling colors of its namesake mineral. Beautiful to behold and thought by many to engender mystical properties Neri describes it as “adorned with so many graceful and beautiful areas of undulations and enhanced with the play of diverse lively flaming colors.†He goes on to describe leaded glasses artificial gems enamels and glass paints. Each time he innovates each time he guides us with encouragement admonition and painstaking clarity. "That Neri’s book was the first of its kind in print is a notable distinction but one that his deeper accomplishment easily surpasses; 'L'Arte Vetraria' preserves a rare glimpse of skilled practical knowledge. In his era prized techniques were frequently lost to subsequent generations lost because artisans so often spared the pen. Their precious knowledge went purposely unrecorded passing in strict confidence from master to apprentice working side by side. In 1612 Neri published his expertise to the world preserving the techniques and science of glass practices but also its art. Just as a great painter relies on the quality of pigments at hand so must a master glass artisan depend upon the materials of the melt. For the glassblowers and furnace workers who shaped hot glass a superior batch was crucial to superior results. A great piece of glasswork owes its form to the talent of the artist but its substance is the province of the craftsmen who make the glass. "Neri wrote 'L’Arte Vetraria' shortly before his death at the age of thirty-eight. Soon after Galileo sent it to a friend in Rome who was anxious for a copy."Paul Engle "Antonio Neri Alchemist Glassmaker Priest" Corning Museum of Glass ESTC R16918; Wing CD-ROM 1996 H1150.

This was Campbell's first original work, and purports to be an account of travels made in about 1670. In fact it is a compilation of facts relating to the topography, natural products, political conditions, and manners and customs of the countries supposed to be visited, which are held together by a thread of fictitious autobiography. It was of Dr. Campbell, LL.D., that Johnson said "I am afraid he has not been in the inside of a church for many years; but never passes a church without pulling off his hat. This shews that he has good principles", and on another occasion to Joseph Warton "[he is] the richest author that ever grazed the common of literature".
