The entire issue offered. Fresnel's paper: pp. 57-66. Small stamps on verso of titlepage. First printing of Fresnel's importent memoir on the aberration effect from a moving earth."In the same year in which the memoir on diffraction was submitted Fresnel published an investigation of the influence of the earth's motion on light the paper offered.if we suppose the aether surrounding the earth to be at rest and unaffected by the earth's motion of the telescope which we may suppose directed to the true place of the star and the image of the star will therefore be displaced from the central spider-line at the focus by a distance equal to that which the earth describes while the light is travelling through the telescope. This agrees with what is actually observed."Whittaker "A History of the Theories of Aether and Electricity" I pp. 108-9. unknown
ref. 10582200. Unidentified maker Judean oil lamp circa 2nd century AD documents domestic lighting practices and symbolic uses of light in Roman-period Judea. The object supports research into ancient household economies ceramic production and the cultural significance of illumination within Jewish daily and ritual life. Oil lamps functioned as essential sources of artificial light in pre-industrial societies and in the context of Judea they also intersected with textual and symbolic traditions in which light signified moral guidance wisdom and spiritual presence. Terracotta oil lamp measuring approximately 3 x 2 inches formed in a molded type with a central discus featuring a raised decorative motif possibly depicting an animal figure consistent with regional iconographic styles. The surface bears a dark red to brown slip with visible shaping along the nozzle and reservoir typical of mass-produced Roman-period lamps. The enclosed oil chamber would have held olive oil with a wick extending through the nozzle for illumination. The lamp is presented within a modern plastic display case mounted on a wooden base. The compact form and molded decoration align with widely distributed ceramic lamp types used throughout Judea and the broader eastern Roman provinces. Oil lamps in this period were ubiquitous domestic objects reflecting both the availability of olive oil and the absence of alternative lighting technologies. Households commonly relied on multiple lamps to extend activity beyond daylight hours with additional ambient light occasionally provided by hearths or ovens. Within Jewish textual traditions including references in the Torah and later writings lamps and light carried sustained symbolic meaning associated with righteousness knowledge and divine presence reinforcing their dual role as both utilitarian and culturally resonant objects. Minor surface wear consistent with age; no visible structural damage; overall very good condition. unknown

Original gray softcovers punch sewn at gutter margin w/ gray silk braid yapp edges silver & black lettering on front cover minor edgewear rubbing some soiling to fore-edge front cover still VG- exemplar. First edition of this lavishly produced souvenir album filled with original photographs of the engineering and lighting exhibition retreat held by Sterling at General Electric’s Camp Nela one of the first industrial research parks in the nation. A small plateau above a picturesque ravine this rustic setting would eventually contain a large lamp laboratory and a 72 foot bell tower. The large photos in this souvenir album portray the engineering conferences families playing in the pool lavishly appointed dining hall and the other camp assets. Of special interest are the many lighting displays and product displays prepared by this division of GE for the retreat showing many styles of lighting sconces types of Mazda light bulbs the Arts & Crafts furniture at the time product displays advertising and the available fittings from the Company.The National Electric Lamp Association was founded at the end of the 19th century during a great deal of turmoil in the incandescent lamp industry and a number of small lamp manufacturers needed to pool their resources in order to compete with General Electric. Ironically Franklin Terry Burton & Henry Tremaine John & Robert Crouse founded the Company in 1901 with 75% of the needed capital from GE who was to remain a silent partner. Sterling Electric was one of the original founders of the organization and in 1911 when the U.S. Government brought an anti-trust suit against the N.E.L.A. GE exercised their option to buy the remaining 25% and they officially all divisions became part of General Electric forming the National Quality Lamp Division.
