Clean and fine. First printing of Lebedew's importent paper which he presented at an international conference 1899 and in which he described his detection of the pressure of light."He was interested in the possibility that light might exert pressures. This had been predicted by Maxwell's equations and it was a handy explanation for instance for the fact that comet's tails always pointed generally away from the sun whether the comet was approaching the sun or receding. In 1901 in the paper offered using very light mirrors in a vacuum Lebedew was actually able to observe and measure the pressure exerted by light again confirmning Maxwell's theories as well as providing a vehicle for Arrhenius' life-spores."Asimov.Parkinson "Breakthroughs" 1899 C. unknown
