The papers by Dalton Gough Henry: pp. 377-436. And pp. 458-461. First German editions of these importent papers on Dalton's theory of gases. The year "1804 was notable chiefly for controversy over the mixed gases theory and particularly over its denial of weak chemical affinity forces. Continuing criticism of the theory - and the failure of particle weight studies to provide the hoped-for clinching evidence - caused Dalton to revise his ideas on mixed gases during the course of 1805."

First appearance of one of the founding papers in "The mathematical Theory of Elasticity" and Poisson's first on the subject. "The theory of elasticity based on the idea of a molecular structure attracted Poisson's interest and he did much to lay the foundations of that science."Timoshenko p. 111 ff."In the preface to the long "Mémoire sur I’équilibre et le movement des corps élastiques" 14 April 1828 the hints yield to explicit declaration. In applying mathematics to physics Poisson stated it was necessary at first to employ abstraction and "in this regard Lagrange has gone as far as possible in replacing physical ties by equations between coordinates." Now however "along with this admirable conception" it is necessary to "construct physical mechanics the principle of which is to reduce everything to molecular actions." In other words the death of Laplace the previous year enabled Poisson to move boldly ahead with his long range plans and to present himself as Laplace’s successor."DSBThe issue offered contains notable papers by Berzelius Gay-Lussac and others. unknown

First printing of these contoversial papers where Herapath revived the kinetic theory of gases. His theory was more or less neglected by the scientific community at his time. The kinetic theory remained dormant and forgotten after Euler's and Bernouilli's work "until 1816 when Herapath proposed a theory which is essential Bernoulli's. Unfortunately he chose to define temperature as being proportional to the momentum rather than the kinetic energy of molecules. Herapath was the first to show more or less that kinetic theory can provide simple explanations for the changes of state diffusion and the propagation of sound."Trousdell "Essayas in the History of Mechanics" pp. 283 ff.Euler Bernoulli Herapath and Waterston may be considered the principal scientists who prior to 1850 attempted a more or less complete mathematical treatment of gases based on a set of molecular postulates. Jamie Wisniak."Having published a preliminary notice of his theory in the Annals of Philosophy in 1816 Herapath submitted a detailed account to the Royal Society in 1820. Davy who was elected to the presidency of the Society in November of that year was primarily responsible for the fate of the paper. Although Davy was already known as an advocate of the qualitative idea that heat is molecular motion he found Herapath’s quantitative development too speculative and complicated; he rejected the hypothesis of an absolute temperature implying an "absolute zero" of cold. Having been told that his paper would not be accepted for publication in the Philosophical Transactions Herapath withdrew it and published it instead in the Annals of Philosophy in 1821. Five years later he launched an attack on Davy in the Times of London accusing him of circulating unfounded criticisms of his experimental work which prevented its publication. Although Davy ignored a series of letters and challenges published in the Times Herapath later claimed Davy’s resignation from the presidency of the Royal Society 1827 as a victory for himself."DSB. hardcover
1854réf. 49410London Richard Taylor and William Francis 1854. 4to. No wrappers as extracted from "Philosophical Transactions" 1854 Vol. 144 - Part I. Pp. 245-258. First printing of the first paper in Cayley's famous memoirs on 'quantics' a term he coined for algebraic forms. In this paper Cayley throughout remodelled the whole basis for Invariant Theory."In addition to his part in founding the theory of abstract groups Cayley has a number of important theorems to his credit: perhaps the best known is that every finite group whatsoever is isomorphic with a suitable group of permutations see the first paper of 1854. This is often reckoned to be one of the three most important theorems of the subject the others being the theorems of Lagrange and Sylow. But perhaps still more significant was his early appreciation of the way in which the theory of groups was capable of drawing together many different domains of mathematics: his own illustrations for instance were drawn from the theories of elliptic functions matrices quantics quaternions homographic transformations and the theory of equations. If Cayley failed to pursue his abstract approach this fact is perhaps best explained in terms of the enormous progress he was making in these subjects taken individually."DSB unknown

Pp. 249-268 a. 1 lithographed plate. A few brownspots to the plate. Having the titlepage to vol. 156 - Part I. A few brownspots to lower margins. First appearance of a major paper in the kinetic theory of gases in which Maxwell proved that the viscosity was independent of pressure as predicted and nearly a linear function of the absolute temperature T.One of Maxwell's major investigations was on the kinetic theory of gases. Originating with Daniel Bernoulli this theory was advanced by the successive labours of John Herapath John James Waterston James Joule and particularly Rudolf Clausius to such an extent as to put its general accuracy beyond a doubt; but it received enormous development from Maxwell who in this field appeared as an experimenter on the laws of gaseous friction as well as a mathematician."James Clerk Maxwell published a famous paper in 1866 the paper offered using the kinetic theory of gases to study gaseous viscosity. The internal friction the viscosity of the gas is determined by the probability a particle of layer A enters layer B with a corresponding transfer of momentum. Maxwell's calculations showed him that the viscosity coefficient is proportional to both the density the mean free path and the mean velocity of the atoms. On the other hand the mean free path is inversely proportional to the density. So an increase of pressure doesn't result in any change of the viscosity. unknown

First printing of these 4 fundamental papers on the perturbations of the moon as Euler was the first to use of the Calculus on the motion of the moon in relation to the attractive powers of the Moon the Earth and the Sun. The theories laid down here is also called Euler's second theory and it is the most interesting. It was of the greatest importtence as a basis for later developments."He applied his mathematics to astronomy working out the nature of some perturbations being in this respect the precursor of Lagrange and Laplace. He began to replace the geometric methods of proof used by Galileo and Newton with the algebraic a tendency carried to its conclusion by Lagrange. In particular he worked on lunar theory that is on the analysis of the exact motion of the moon the complications of which have been the despair of astronomers and mathematicians since the time of Kepler. - Eneström: 398 399 400 a. 401. unknown
