First appearance of this importent paper by Adams - famous for his co-discovery with Le Verrier of Neptune in 1846 - in which he introduces new mathematical methods in dealing with the pertubations of the Moon raising a sharp scientific controversy and correcting Laplace's great memoir of 1788."He Adams was elected a fellow of Pembroke College in 1853 and shortly afterward he presented to the Royal Society a remarkable paper on the secular acceleration of the moon’s mean motion. This quantity was thought to have been definitively investigated by Pierre Simon de Laplace in 1788 but Adams showed that Laplace’s solution was incorrect. In particular Laplace had ignored a variation in solar eccentricity that introduces into the differential equations for the moon’s motion a series of additional terms. Adams calculated the second term of the series on which the secular acceleration depends as 3771/64m4 the value computed from Laplace’s work was 2187/128 m4. The effect of the correction was to reduce the figure for the moon’s secular acceleration by about half from 10.58 to 5.70.This paper caused a sharp scientific controversy marked by angry chauvinism on the part of several French astronomers. Their attacks stimulated a number of independent investigations of the subject all of which confirmed Adams’ result. The matter was definitely settled in his favor by 1861 but not without hard feelings."DSB. unknown

First printing of this importent paper the seciond of C's papers in the working out of the Kinetic Theory of Gases. In the paper he states that he found an error in Maxwell's theory of gases an error Maxwell was to admit as far more serious. "In his initial approach to the conduction of heat in gases Maxwell drew a brilliant analogy between diffusion a transfer of mass and conduction a transfer of kinetic energy thereby making it possible to use the form of his diffusion equation to represent conduction simply replacing the mass of a molecule with its kinetic energy. Clausius critized this adoption of the diffusion equation because given the assumptions mass transfer would accompany the heat conduction and the process would not be one of energy transfer alone. He then offered a revised theory of conduction. "DSB III p. 308."Clausius was one of the founders of the kinetic theory of gases and of the science of thermodynamics. He and Lord Kelvin at about the same time and independently announced the Second Law of thermodynamics. Clausius particularly developed the theory of thermodynamics by applying it to the study of gases and vapors."Magie in "A Source Book in Physics" p. 228. unknown

Some scattered brownspots. This paper which was published at the same year in "Comptes Rendues" 3 Fevrier is the most importent on the theory of structural types and the nomenclature of organic compounds refuting the electrochemical theory of Berzelius. "The development of this idea type organique into what is sometimes called the "Older Type Theory" as distinguished from Gerhardt's Type heory is contained in Dumas' importent memoir on the substitution and the theory of types presented on 3 febriary 1840."Partington IV p. 365. In the second paper Stas and Dumas record the first use of 'potash-lime' the precursor of soda-lime an invaluable reagent in organic chemistry."Jean Baptiste Dumas advances a theory that the chemical properties of an organic compound are determined by its structure and not as seems to be the case with inorganic compounds by its electrical properties. he illustrates the concept with the example that the basic qualitative properties of acetic acid are retained even after replacing three fourths of the hydrogen by chlorine. As a consequence he calls for a revision of chemical nomenclature for organic compounds basing terms on common features not on elemental composition."Parkinson "Breakthroughs" 1840 C. unknown
