1873ref. 17254St. Louis: np 1873. Frontispiece plate showing the apparatus. 1 vols. 8vo. Plain salmon wrappers some fading and marginal tears 7 pages of text. From the library of William H. Brewer the chemist who has signed his name on the upper wrapper and marked a few places in the text. Frontispiece plate showing the apparatus. 1 vols. 8vo. Casselberry's discovery was a less expensive method of decomposing liquids. He used electricity and during his experiments found that two decomposing cells attached to a galvanic battery or magneto-electric machine will generate twice the gas as a single cell. Prior to Casselberry's experiment it had been assumed that the resulting gas would be half as much as the electricity would be split into the two cells. This small pamphlet has no imprint information it was likely a small run probably for private distribution among colleagues. Decomposing liquids with Electricity. np unknown

The entire issue offered = Stück 4. Titlepage to vol. 10. Pp. 389-512 a. 1 engraved plate. Extract from Ergänzungsheft zum Jahre 1802. =Zweite Abhandlung. Volta's papers: pp. 421-449 a. pp. 497-520. Very light browning to 2. Abhandlung. First appearance in German of Volta's importent paper in which he describes the electrical forces that acts between the metal-plates in the Voltaic Pile. The German publication was printed in the same year as the Italian original "Sull' identita del Fluido Elettrico col Fluide Galvanico" 1802."A long memoir by Volta in two parts.reports that by measuring the electrometer deflections with different pairs of metals he found that the forces which drive the electric fluid.from the first metal to the second are: silver/copper 1 copper/iron 2 iron/thin 3 lead/tin 1 lead/zinc 5. Then the force for silver/zinc in immidiate contact is 12 12315 copper/tin 5 = 32 iron/zinc 9 513 etc. Thus 'the force or impulsion with which two metals act on the electric fluid is equal to the sum of the forces of the series of metals which stands between them and.the electric force is the same as that which arises when the two extreme metals have no effect on the force of the latter'. This is the first statement of what Maxwell called 'Volta'slaw of contact electricity'."Partington IV p.15. unknown
1851ref. 43324Leipzig Johann Ambrosius Barth 1851. Without wrappers as issued in "Annalen der Physik und Chemie. Hrsg.von Poggendorff" Bd. 83 Viertes Stück.= Heft No. 8 of 1851. The entire issue offered Heft 2 of vol. 83 with titlepage to vol. 83. Pp.469-600 a. 2 engraved plates. Helmholtz's paper: pp. 505-540. Clean and fine. First appearance of this paper in which Helmholtz for the first time measures and gives the mathematical formula for the duration of induced electrical currents and thus distinguished with mathematical accuracy from those due to nerve-action."In the offered paper he begins by stating a mathematical law which he had verified by a long and difficult series of experiments. By means of this law F. neumann was enabled to solve the problem he had previously laid aside as to the distribution of current in a copper disk rotating below the two poles of a magnet.After Helmholtz had extended this exponiential law mathematically to divided circuits he tested it experimentally by means of a new type of galvanic contact-key which madeit possible to vary the interval between the opening and closing of any current as required."Koenigsberger "Hermann von helmholtz" pp. 79-80. unknown
