First printing of Quine and Goodman's important paper in which they set themself the ambitious task of rephrasing all scientific theories in a language with an ontology consisting of objects in space-time. They state that: "We do not believe in abstract entities. No one supposes that abstract entities - classes, relations, properties, etc. - exists in space-time; but we mean more than this. We renounce them altogether. We cannot use variables that call for abstract objects as value". (From the introduction to the present paper).

First edition and first printing of Hilbert's importent proof of the possibility of the non-euclidean parallel-construction, in which he showes that only with the aid of ruler and compass it is possible to draw with the samer instruments, the common perpendicular to two lines which are not parallel and do not meet each other (the non-intersecting lines), the common parallel to the two lines which bound an angle; and the line which is perpendicular to one of the bounding lines of an acute angle and parallel to the other, and how these constructions can be carried out.

(Paris, Crochard, 1820). No wrappers as extracted fron 'Annales de Chimie et de Physique', Volume 15 (2e Series). Pp. 93-102. First appearance of this importent paper in which Arago gives an account of his discovery of how iron and steel could be magnetized by the action of the voltaic current, THE FIRST STEP TOWARDS THE ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH. "Arago .... made several important contributions to electromagnetism on his own. On 20 September 1820 he announced the discovery of the temporary magnetization of soft iron by an electric current, which suggested to Ampère a theory about the nature of magnetic "currents" and provided the technological key to the electric telegraph. Ampère calculated that the magnetic power could be multiplied by twisting the current-carrying wire into a helix, and with Arago he carried out the first experiments on primitive solenoids. In his historical articles Arago was always careful to credit Ampère with the major share of this discovery, which ultimately depended upon Ampère’s mathematical theory."(DSB).Arago formed a close freinship with Fresnel,whose views on the nature of light he ardently supported. He assisted Fresnel in some of his most importent work and made original discoveries in the same field.Magie "A Source Book in Physics", p. 443 ff.
