First printing of three paper's by Jacobi on differential mathematics and Abelian functions."Most of Jacobi's fundamental research articles in the theory of elliptic functions, mathematical analysis, number theory, geometry, and me-chanics were published in Crelle's Journal fue die reine and angewandte Mathematik. With an average of three articles per volume, Jacobi was one of its most active contributors and quickly helped to establish its international famenone of his gifted students could escape his spell: they were drawn into his sphere of thought, worked along the manifold lines he sug-gested, and soon represented a "school". C. W. Borchardt, E. Heine, L. O. Hesse, F. J. Richelot, J. Rosenhain, and P. L. von Seidel belonged to this circle; they contributed much to the dissemination not only of Jacobi’s mathematical creations but also of the new research-oriented attitude in university instruction. The triad of Bessel, Jacobi, and Neumann thus became the nucleus of a revival of mathematics at German universities.." (DSB)

Weil, by different methods, obtained simultaneously the uniqueness in the case of of locally compact groups, A. Weil indicating at the same time how the procedure of Haar could be extended to general locally compact groups. It is also A. Weil (in the paper offered) who obtained the condition for the existence of a relatively invariant measure on a homogenous space, and showed finally that the existence of a "measure" (endowed with reasonable properties) on a separated topological group, implies ipse facto that the group is locally precompact."(Bourbaki "Elements of the istory of Mathematics", p. 233).
