1867ref. 55371København 1867. Contemp. marbled clothbacked boards. Titlelabel with gilt lettering on upper cover. Pp. 26-45. Extracted from "Oversigt over det Kgl. danskeVidenskabernes Selskabs Forhandlinger 1867 Nr. 1". Extremely scarce first edition of the paper in which Lorenz independent of Maxwell stated that light is electromechanical in nature probably inspired by his former teacher H. C. Oersted the discoverer of electromagnetism and professor at the Polytechnic College he aimed at unifying the forces of nature without introducing new physical hypotheses. "The idea that the various forces in nature are merely different manifestations of the one and same force has proved itself more fertile than all physical theories".Most impressive of all Lorenz’ achievements in optics is his electromagnetic theory of light developed in a relatively unknown paper of 1867 two years after Maxwell’s famous paper on the same subject. At that time Lorenz did not know Maxwell’s theory and his own approach was quite different. Lorenz’ electromagnetic theory of light can be described briefly as an interpretation of the light vector as the current density vector in a medium obeying Ohm’s law. This paper contains the fundamental equations for the vector potential and the scalar potential or - for the first time - the corresponding retarded potentials expressed in terms of the current density vector and the electrical charge density. The concept of retarded potentials had already been introduced in an earlier paper by Lorenz in connection with research on the theory of elasticity. He found that the differential equation for the current density vector was the same as his fundamental wave equation for the light vector completed with a term which explains the absorption of light in conducting media and that his theory led to the correct value for the velocity of light."

Scarce first edition of Lorenz' landmark paper which contains his important studies on the electromagnetic theory of light in which he - less than two years after but independently of Maxwell - found that LIGHT MIGHT BE INTERPRETED AS ELECTROMAGNETIC WAVES and that his equations lead to the CORRECT VALUE FOR THE VELOCITY OF LIGHT. "The procedure which Lorenz followed was that of which Riemann had suggested in 1858 namely to modify the accepted formula of electrodynamics by introducing terms which though too small to be appreciable in ordinary laboratory experiments would be capable of accounting for the propagation of electrical effects through space with a finite velocity.The Lorenz- equations are however the fundamental equations of Maxwell's theory; and therefore the theory of L. Lorenz is practically equivalent to that of Maxwell so far as concerns the propagation of electromagnetic disturbances through free aether.he suggested that ALL LUMINOUS VIBRATIONS MIGHT BE CONSTITUTED BY ELECTRIC CURRENTS and hence that there was 'no longer any reason for maintaining the hypothesis of an aether since we can admit that space contains sufficient ponderable matter to enable the disturbance to be propagated" Edmund Whittaker in "A History of the Theories of Aether and Electricity I" p. 267-70. unknown

1869ref. 42029London Taylor & Francis 1869 Large 4to. Without wrappers. Extracted from "Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London." Vol. 158. Maxwell's paper: pp. 643-657. Clean and fine wide margins. First appearance of this major paper on electromagnetic dynamics in which Maxwell improves the groundbreaking equations he had set forth in his famous paper of 1865 the "A dynamical Theory of Electro-Magnetic Fields". In the paper offered here he for the first time proposed to base the electromagnetic theory of light solely on 2 equations. The paper is one of Maxwell's 5 most importent contributions to electromagnetism."Formulas for the forces between moving charged bodies may indeed de derived from Maxwell's equations but the action is not along the line joining them and can be reconciled with a dynamical principle only by taking into account the exchange of momentum with the field. Maxwell remarked that the equations might be condensed but "to eliminate a quantity which expresses a useful idea would be rather a loss than a gain in this stage of our enquiry." he had in fact simplified the equations in his fifth major paper the short but importent "Note on the Electromagnetic Theory of Light." 1868 writing them in an integral form without the function A based on four postulates derived from electrical experiments. This may be called the electrical formulation of the theory in contrast with the original dynamical formulation." C.W.F. Everitt in DSB. unknown

1826ref. 46535London W.Nicol 1826. 4to. No wrappers as extracted from "Philosophical Transactions" 1826 - Part III. Pp. 324-337 and 1 engraved plate. A faint dampstain to top of plate. First appearance of Drummond's paper in which he described his and Goldsworthy Gurney's invention and coined the word 'limelight'. His apparatus demonstrated on the plate was originally used for surveying as the title of the paper shows. Drummond claimed the light to be 83 times brighter than any previous artificial light.The Scottish engineer Thomas Drummond 1797-1840 saw a demonstration of the effect by Michael Faraday and realized that the light would be useful for surveying. Drummond built a working version in 1826 and the device is sometimes called the Drummond Light after him. Limelight was first used in public in the Covent Garden Theatre in London in 1837 and enjoyed widespread use in theatres around the world in the 1860s and 1870s. Limelights were employed to highlight solo performers in the same manner as modern followspots spotlights. Limelight was replaced by electric arc lighting in the late 19th century. Wikipedia."John Hersehel describes the impression produced when the light was first exhibited in the Tower: "The common Argand burner and parabolic reflector of a British lighthouse were first exhibited the room being darkened and with considerable effect. Fresnel’s superb lamp was next disclosed at whose superior effect the other seemed to dwindle and showed in a manner quite subordinate. But when the gas began to play the lime being brought now to its full ignition and the screen suddenly removed a glare shone forth overpowering and as it were annihilating both its predecessors which appeared by its side the one as a feeble gleam which it required attention to see the other like a mere plate of heated metal. A shout of triumph and of admiration burst from all present."’ DNB.Parkinson "Breakthroughs" 1825 C unknown
