ref. 3735479New Haven: Printed by B. L. Hamlen 1837. Octavo. Pp. vi 2 217–404. Illustrated. Original printed wrappers with some creases. Light wear to spine ends mild toning a well-preserved copy. Provenance: “C. J. Wister Esq.” First American journal appearance of Robert Hare’s significant paper on voltaic battery construction in which he combined the structural advantages of Cruickshank’s trough with his own deflagrator. Hare’s article placed his American research into direct conversation with Michael Faraday’s electrical investigations addressing questions of current intensity duration and apparatus design. By proposing improved arrangements for galvanic pairs and acid distribution Hare advanced both the efficiency and reproducibility of electrochemical experiments. His work is a notable contribution to early electrochemistry and a scarce instance of American innovation being recognized within the transatlantic development of electrical science in the 1830s. Robert Hare 1781–1858 professor of chemistry at the University of Pennsylvania was one of the foremost American chemists of the early nineteenth century. Best known for inventing the oxy-hydrogen blowpipe he also made enduring contributions to electrical instrumentation and chemical education. His extensive writings in the American Journal of Science and Arts helped disseminate scientific methods and apparatus design at a time when American chemistry was still striving for international stature. Very scarce in its original printed wrappers with other important contributions including two additional articles by Hare: “Description of an Electrical Machine … and some Observations on the Causes of the Diversity in the Length of the Sparks erroneously distinguished by the terms Positive and Negative” pp. 272–280 and “Of an Improved Barometer Gage Eudiometer” pp. 280–285.

The very scarce first edition of John Stuart Mill and Thomas Hare's discussion of the nature of democratic government and the need for electoral reform. First published in the newspaper The National Era this is the very scarce first separate edition of this work.This essay builds from Hare's earlier work on the single transferable vote 'The Election of Representatives Parliamentary and Municipal' a work which Mill said was 'the greatest improvement of which the system of representative government is susceptible; an improvement which exactly meets and cures the grand and what before seemed inherent defect of the representative system'.Mill and Hare collaborate on this brief article to discuss recent publications on the subject of electoral reform and distinguish between 'representation of all' which ensures that all voices including minorities have a say in governance and 'representation of the majority only' where the majority suppress the rights and interests of smaller groups.American Imprints 48988An informative critique first-past-the-post voting for its tendency to marginalise minority viewpoints.
