Entire issue offered with titlepage to volume 16. Berzelius's paper: pp. 387-415. Clean and fine. First German printing - printed simultaneously with the English and Swedish version - of the paper in which Berzelius described his discovery of Thorium the first element after Uranium to be identified as such. In 1829 Jöns Jakob Berzelius of the Royal Karolinska Institute Stockholm extracted thorium from a rock specimen sent to him by an amateur mineralogist who had discovered it near Brevig and realised that it had not previously been reported. The mineral turned out to be thorium silicate and it is now known as thorite. Berzelius even produced a sample of metallic thorium by heating thorium fluoride with potassium and confirmed it as a new metal. He called the black mineral thorite in honor of the Scandinavian god Thor.Parkinson "Breakthroughs" 1829 C. unknown

Some brownspots. First printing of Faraday's famous letter to Gay-Lussac in which he claim to be the discoverer of electro-magnetic induction analysed the results of the Italian philosophers pointing out their errors and defending himself from what he regarded as imputations on his character. The style of this letter is unexceptionable for Faraday could not write otherwise than as a gentleman; but the letter shows that had he willed it he could have hit hard. The letter was later translated into English and published in "Philosophical Magazine" in 1840 under the title "On Magneto-electric Induction"."In 1831 seemingly out of nowhere came the discovery of electromagnetic induction and the beginning of the experimental researches in electricity which were to lead Faraday to the discovery of the laws of electrochemistry specific inductive capacity the Faraday effect and the foundations of classical field theory."

First apperarance of this paper constituting the first reliable account of colour blindness.Usually Goethe or John Dalton - Huddart's case was cited in Dalton's paper of 1794 - is supposed to have discovered colourblindness. However the English oculist Joseph Huddart was the discoverer of this phenomenon. The first physiological explanation of it does come from Goethe.Garrison & Morton: 5832. unknown

Boisbaudran's paper: pp. 322-324. First apperance of the paper in which Boisbaudran revealed his discovery of a new earth that precipitated had a unique spectrum. De Boisbaudran named it samaria after the mineral from which it was derived. The mineral samarskite is named for a Russian mining engineer and Chief of Staff - Corps of Mining Engineers Colonel Vasili Evgrafovich Samarsky-Bykhovets."Samarium was discovered by French chemist Paul Émile Lecoq de Boisbaudran in 1879. He noticed in his research that impure didymium praseodymium and neodymium with other impurities seemed to contain more than just didymium based on spectroscopic work on various rare-earth minerals. When Lecoq de Boisbaudran added ammonium hydroxide to a concentrate prepared from the mineral samarskite he observed a precipitate that formed before the didymium Weeks and Leicester 1968 p. 685.

Marignac's paper: pp. 578-581. First apperance of the paper relating Marignac's discovery of the rare earth Ytterbium Ytterbia."He began his study of the rare earths in 1840 when he was barely twenty-three years old. According to P.T. Cleve "Marignac's work on the rare earths is undoubtedly the most importent in this particular department of chemistry". In 1878 marignac heated some erbium nitrate obtained from gadolinite until it decomposed. When he extracted the resulting mass with water he obtained two oxides: a red one for which he retained the name Erbia and a colorless one which he named Ytterbia."

The entire issue offered =Heft 2. Pp. 137-264 a. 2 folded engraved plates. Herschels papers: pp. 137-156. The plate depicts Herschel's experimental arrangements. First appearance in German of Herschel's epochal announcement of his discovery of infrared light in 1800. This was the first time that a form of light beyond visible light had been detected. The paper offered is the German translation of the main parts of Herschel's paper "An Investigation of the Powers of Prismatic Colours to Heat and Illuminate Objects"."In 1800 he tested various portions of the sun's spectrum by thermometer to see if he could find interesting differences in the amount of heat the different colors delivered. He did but in a rather unexpected way for he found that the temperature rise was highest in no color at all at a spot beyond the red end of the spectrum. He concluded that the sunlight contained invisible light beyond the red. This is now called infrared radiation. The following year Ritter was to extend the visible spectrum in the other direction."Asimov.Parkinson "Breakthroughs" 1800 P. unknown

First apperance of the papers in which Nilson describes his discovery of a new element and its properties and naming it Scandium. It was the second new element found after Mendeleev's prediction of its existence as "Eka-Boron"."Mendeléeff had predicted that another element which he called eka-boron and which he said would have an atomic weight between 40 calcium and 48 titanium would some day be revealed. It was discovered in 1879 by Lars Fredrik Nilson. Nilson extracted 63 grams of the rare earth erbia from gadolinite and euxenite and converted it into the nitrate. Upon decomposing this salt by heat as Marignac had done he obtained some very pure ytterbia and to his great surprise an earth that was unknown to him.Upon thoroughly investigating this new earth he found that it contained an element whose properties concided almost exactly with those Mendeléef had predicted for ekaboron. Nilson called it scandium in honour of his fatherland."Weeks "Discovery of the Elements" pp. 219-20.Parkinson "Breakthroughs" 1879 C. unknown
1793rif. 373234J. Dodsley London 1793. 5th Edition. Hardcover. Very Good Condition. 21 pages. This 1765 article published in The Annual Register provides a detailed account of John Harrison's groundbreaking work in solving the longitude problem at sea through the use of artificial time-keepers. Harrison an English clockmaker developed the marine chronometer a device that allowed sailors to accurately determine their longitude while at sea. His invention was crucial for safe navigation reducing the risk of ships becoming lost or wrecked due to miscalculations. The article outlines the proceedings and debates surrounding Harrison's work including his struggles with the Longitude Board which was reluctant to grant him the full 20000 prize promised under the 1714 Longitude Act. Despite proving the accuracy of his time-keepers Harrison faced political opposition and bureaucratic delays before finally receiving recognition for his achievements. Published at around the same time that Harrison's book of a similar title was published this contemporary 21 page account quotes Harrison extensively and represents the opinions and ideas regarding navigation from the perspective of the time. The whole volume extends to around 600 pages. Bound in modern but not recent brown buckram with a contrasting black leather lettering piece gilt title. Library label to the endpapers stamp on first blank and label to reverse of the title page. The first blank has a hand note stating "Given by Lt.Col. A.R. Hurst". Hurst has served with the Royal Field Artillery in the First World War. The whole volume is very clean with bright pages very firmly bound and in attractive condition. Size: 13.5 x 21 cms.
