(Paris, L'Imprimerie Royale, 1732). 4to. Without wrappers. Extracted from "Mémoires de l'Academie des Sciences. Année 1730". Pp. 524-535. First appearance of Dufay's importent work on phosphorescence."Chemists had long been acquainted with a fes minerals like the Bologna stone (BaS) and Balduin's hermetic phosphor (plain CaS) that glowed after exposure to light. Greatmystery surrunded those expensive and supposedly rare substances. Dufay detested mysteries and held as a guiding principle that a given physical property, however bizarre, must be assumed characteristic of a large class of bodies, not of isolated species. He found that almost everything except metals and very hard gems could be made phosphorescent: he depressed the phosphor market by describing his procedure: and he became sensitive to the endless small variations in the physical properties of bodies. 'How many things behave that seemed similar, and how many varieties there are in effects that seemed identical." (Heilbron "Electricity in the 17 & 18 Centuries", p. 251).Another paper attached to Dufay's paper is Charles Pitot "Reflexions sur le Mouvement des Eaux". Pp. 536-544 a. 1 folded engraved plate.

Old owner's name to front free end-paper, ex-libris to inside of front board. (6), 129 pp. First edition of Ryle's second main work, in which he sets out to discuss true issues and dilemmas of the actual life of man. With the aid of the tools of the practicing philosopher, he solves a number of puzzles for everyday man and makes him understand the meaning and use of philosophy in general.Gilbert Ryle (1900-1976) was an immensely influential British philosopher, who represented the ordinary language philosophers so strongly influenced by Wittgenstein. He was also greatly influenced by Bertrand Russell and his theory of descriptions and the conception of analysis embodied in that. Influenced by the idea of misleading expressions, which can be sorted out only with the help of logic, Ryle establishes his view of philosophy as cartography. Just like the inhabitants of a space on earth can talk about that space to the cartographer, so the ordinary user of a language can talk to the philosopher. However, in both cases the practical knowledge of the ordinary user must be transformed into the universal terms of the expert in order for him to say anything meaningful.
