XVI, 751 pp. First English translation of Lenin's work from 1899 written whilst he was in exile in Siberia. The present translation is made from Lenin's Works, Vol. 3, 4th Russian edition.It was published in 1899 under the pseudonym of "Vladimir Ilyin" it established his reputation as a major Marxist theorist. In it Lenin attacked the Populist claim that Russia could avoid the stage of capitalism, and that the rural commune could serve as the basis for communism. Instead Lenin argued that the rural communes had already been wiped out by capitalism and statistics showed the degree to which feudalism was already dying in Russia.

(London, Bulwer and Co., 1803). 4to. Without wrappers as extracted from "Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London." Year 1803 - Part I. Pp. 1-11, one textillustr. First printing of an importent paper in optical physics in which he investigates refraction phenomena over surfaces of water and in the atmosphere (mirage phenomena)., relating it to temperatures of air and land. He also announced his invention of the dip sector (modified sexton) that was used by Ross and Perry while exploring the arctic region.William Hyde Wollaston, (b. Aug. 6, 1766, d. Dec. 22, 1828), was an English chemist and physicist who discovered the elements palladium and rhodium and first reported the dark lines in the spectrum of the Sun. His consideration of geometrical arrangements of atoms led him into crystallography and the invention of the reflecting goniometer to measure angles of crystal faces. He also proved the elementary nature of niobium and titanium, developed a method of making platinum malleable, proved the identity of voltaic and frictional electricity, and invented the camera lucida to aid microscopists. The mineral Wollastonite was named in his honor. (Adventures in Cybersound).Another paper attached: James Smithson, "A chemical Analysis of some Calamines". Pp. 12-28.

[Entire volume: Pp. 97-192, (2)]. First printing of Minding's important paper in which he presents his theorem representing the first (implicit) appearance of the BKK bound and some of its extensions in the amthematical literature. "Minding's most important discoveries were in the dilierential geometry of surfaces; in these works he brilliantly continued the researches of Gauss, which had been published in 1828. In his first paper (1830), which dealt with the isoperimetric problem of determining on a given surface the shortest closed curve surrounding a given area (on the plane it is the circumference of a circle), he introduced the concept of geodesic curvature. It was independently discovered in 1848 by O. Bonnet, and it was he who named it geodesic curvature. Minding soon proved, as did Bonnet after him, the invariance of the geodesic curvature under bending of the surface. Neither of them knew that the same results had been presented in an earlier, unpublished paper of Gauss's (1825)." (DSB).

Light miscolouring to spine. A fine fine and clean copy. Pp. 109-157. [Entire issue: Pp. 1-181.]. First printings of Rice's final paper (the last out of three) on the Rice Distribution, or Rician distribution. The present papers is considered a classic within the field of statistics and probability theory. The Rice distribution is an extension of the Rayleigh distribution that adds a coherent signal to the backscattered signal that underlies the Rayleigh distribution.The model is named after Stephen O. Rice who worked at Bell Labs for nearly forty years. His most famous and influential publication is the present article; in 1983 he was awarded the IEEE Alexander Graham Bell Medal.
