(Paris, Gauthier-Villars), 1877. 4to. No wrappers. In: "Comptes Rendus Hebdomadaires des Séances de L'Academie des Sciences", Tome 84, No 18. Pp. (895-) 970. (Entire issue offered). Pasteur & Joubert's paper: pp. 900-906. First appearance of the paper in which Pasteur and Jouber persuasively established that Anthrax is caused by a living organism, beeing Pasteur's first paper on Anthrax and of fundamental importence for bacteriology."By greatly increasing the number of cultures (Koch had stopped at eight) and by using a much larger volume of cultural liquid each time, Pasteur diluted an initial drop of anthrax blood to the point of virtual disappearance. Nonetheless, each successive culture retained the original virulence. In his view this result persuasively established the dependence of anthrax on a living microorganism, for no other agent could have retained its power through so drastic a dilution. Only an agent which reproduced itself in each successive culture—almost certainly a living organism-could be responsible for the continued virulence of the original drop of blood."(DSB).Garrison & Morton: 5168.

(4), pp. 337-508. Clean and fine. First appearance of Kater's great paper, a report of his results as member of "The Survey of Great Britain", using his invention, "Kater's Pendulum"."On the basis of the principle enunciated by Huygens that the centers of suspension and oscillation are interchangeable, Kater devised a reversible pendulum (which became known as "Kater’s pendulum") with knife edges accurately adjusted to lie at the conjugate points. By using the distance between these points as the "length" in the formula for a simple pendulum, he was able to determine with great accuracy the length of a pendulum beating seconds under specified conditions. He thereby obtained accurate values for g, the acceleration due to gravity, at several stations of the Trigonometrical Survey of Great Britain and estimated the ellipticity of the earth. Kater performed these experiments as a member of a committee appointed by the Royal Society in response to a request by the governmnet for assistance in standardizing weights and measures."(DSB).
