1837réf. 47418London Richard and John E. Taylor 1837. No wrappers. Extracted fron "Scientific Memoirs selected from The Transactions of Foreign Academies of Science and Learned Societies. Edited by Richard Taylor." Vol. I. Pp. 540-547. Henry's milestone paper announcing his discovery of electrical self-induction. "Henry independently discovered electro-magnetic induction and in this paper announced his discovery of electric self-induction one of the prime properies of an electro-magnetic circuit. Henry was an eminent experimenter but was casual in publishing his findings with resulting lack of recognition of his contributions."Bern Dibner.Dibner "Heralds of Sciece" No.63.It was also printed the same year in "Transactions of the American Philosophical Society New Series Vol. 5". The paper was later printed in "Philosophical Magazine" 1840."The direction of Henry’s thought became somewhat apparent in his 1835 paper refers to the papers reading before the American Phil. Soc. febr. 6th 1835 on the action of a spiral conductor in increasing the intensity of galvanic currents. The paper started out as an affirmation of Henry’s priority in the discovery of self-induction. He then combined induction proper using Faraday’s findings and his own with selfinduction to show how these produce a pattern of repulsions yielding an increased effect in spirals. He specifically linked these “magneto-electrical” results to the principles of static induction developed by Cavendish and Poisson. This explanation was then applied to Savary’s report of changes of polarity when magnetic needles were placed at varying distances from a wire in which a current was being transmitted "Mémoire sur l’aimantation" in Annales de chimie et de physique 34 1827. That is currents appeared periodically in the air surrounding a current-bearing straight wire as a result of the actions of induction and self-induction." DSB.Wheeler Gift: 2724-2725a. unknown

First appearance of a pioneer-paper in the history of early photography in which Herschel announced some of his importent discoveries of the photographic printing processes the process of photographic contact-printing in Prussian blue brought to light just three years after Louis Daguerre and Henry Talbot had announced their independent inventions of photography in silver using metal and paper substrates respectively. and the photographic properties of red ferro sesquicyanuret of potassium."This is the first recorded observation of Prussian blue being formed for a photographic purpose by the action of light on potassium ferricyanide so it represents the moment of discovery of the first cyanotype process although this name still lay in the future. The significance of this observation impressed Herschel sufficiently to mention it also in his general diary entry for 23 April 1842."Mike Ware in "John Herschel's Cyanotype. Invention or discovery ". unknown

First appearance of this remarkable paper in which Faraday announces his discovery of Benzene. Berzelius described this research as "without doubt one of the most importent which has enriched chemistry during 1825.""The first public announcement of the discovery of benzene the greatest chemical discovery made by Faraday. Originally named by him "bicaburet of hydrogen" benzene is the parent substance of all aromatic compounds. It constitutes the basis of thousands of organic compounds dyes perfumes and medicinal products as well as many polymers and structural materials. The discovery of benzene led to the creation of numerous chemical companies and the manufacture of materials previously unknown. This paper is a thourough study of the physical and chemical properties of benzene."Neville I p. 443. - Parkinson "Breakthrough" 1825 C. unknown

First appearance of the paper in which Wollaston announced his discovery of the metallic element Rhodium."Dr. Wollaston dissolved a portion of crude platinum in qgua regia and neutralized the excess acid with caustic soda. He then added salammoniac to precipitate the platinum as ammonium chloroplatinate and mercurous cyanide to precipitate the palladium as palladium cyanide. After filteringoff the precipitate he decomposed the excess mercurous cyanide inthe filtarate by adding hydrochloric acid and evaporating to dryness. When he washed the residue with alcohol everything dissolved except a beautiful dark red powder which proved to be a double chloride of sodium and a new metal which because of the rose color of its salts Dr. Wollaston named 'Rhodium'. He found that the sodium rhodium chloride could be easely reduced by heating it in a current of hydrogen and that after the sodium chloride had been washed out the rhodium remained as a metallic powder. he also succeeded in obtaining a rhodium button."Weeks: Discovery of the Elements. p. 104-05. unknown

Ransay & Travers' paper: pp. 405-408. First appearance of the paper in which Ramsay and Travers announced their discovery of a new element which they named "krypton" meaning hidden."Dr. William Hampson presented them Ransay & Travers with about a liter of liquid air which they used not for liquefying the argon but for obstaining sufficient skill in manipulation so that they would not risk loosing their precious fifteen liter of argon.The residue left after most of the liquid air had boliled away consisted largly of oxygen and nitrogen which Ramsay and Travers temoved with red-hot copper and magnesium. .they then examined the twenty-five cibic centimeters of residual gas and when they found it to be inerst they immediately placedit in a Pl'ucker tube connected to and induction coil and observed its spectrum. There was a bright yelælow line with a greener tint than that of the helium line and a brilliant green line that did nor coincide with any line of argon helium mercury or hydrogen. They discoverede this gas on 30 May 1898 and named it 'krypton'.they found that it belonged between bromine and rubidium in the periodic table and so great was their excitement that the younger chemist almost forgot about his examination for doctor of sciwence which had been schedules for the next day."Weeks p. 267.Parkinson "Breakthroughs" 1898 C. unknown

First printing of both papers in which Ramsay and Cleve - independently - announced their discovery of Helium on the Earth. Although Ramsay announced the discovery of Helium before Cleve had completed his research the Swedish chemist was independent discoverer of the element.Helium was discovered in the sun already in 1868 by Jules Janssen and independently by Lockyer the same year. Janssen discovered helium in the sun when he observed a total eclipse in India by studying the spectra of the suns chromosphere and Lockyer also by spectroscopy found that the new line in the spectrum did not belong to any element then known and he named it Helium for the sun.In the same volume as Ramsays paper there are 5 papers by NORMAN LOCKYER dealing with the discovery of Helium on the earth examining Ramsay's and Cleve's findings.Parkinson "Breakthroughs" 1895. hardcover
