Berlin, Springer, 1939. 8vo. In contemporary halv cloth with gilt lettering to spine. In "Zeitschrift für Physik", Bd. 114, 1939. Entire volume offered. Stamp to front free end-paper. Fine and clean. Pp. 368-78. [Entire volume: VIII, 749 pp.]. First printing of Wallner's important paper on microscopic lines - Wallner Lines - in various materials. Wallner lines are microscopic fractures that propagate on a rigid surface. Using the Wallner lines, it is possible to determine the speed at which a surface is cracked. The method works for example on glass, epoxy, tungsten and carbon-filled rubber. The measurement of Wallner lines are a standard method of modern forensic science.

(Stockholm, F.& G. Beier), 1885. 4to. Orig. printed wrappers (to Acta Mathematica 4:3). Extracted from "Acta Mathematica", Vol. 4. Pp. 201-312. Clean and fine. First appearance of a major paper on differential equations of the first order"...the whole theory of automorphic functions was from the start guided by the idea of integrating linear differential equations with algebraic coefficients. Poincaré simultaneously investigated the local problem of linear differential equation in the neighborhood of an "irregular" singular point, showing for the first time how asymptotic developments could be obtained for the integrals. A little later (1884, the paper offered) he took up the question, also started by I.L. Fuchs, of the determination of all differential equations of the first order (in the complex domain) algebraic in y and y' and having fixed singular points; his rechearches was to be extended by Picard for equations of the second order, and to lead to the spectacular results of Painlevé and his school at the beginning of the tweentieth century."(DSB).

Uden år, ca. 1920-30. 4to. (26x24 cm.). Leporello i originalt helshirt. På forpermen i guld "Frøbelsk "Skole" ved Frølen Mary". Med 29 plancher i kartonneret leporello-form hvorpå originale mønstre i papirklip, syning, fletning, tegning etc. De to sidste kartonblade ser ud til at mangle nogle tegninger. Original mønsterbog som forlæg til de arbejder i syning, fletning etc. som skulle beskæftige børnene i de frøbelske asyler, hvor den pædagogiske hovedvægt blev lagt på børnenes egen-beskæftigelse. Mønsterbogen er udført i de originale materialer.I 1910 er der seks "skolebørnsasyler" beregnet for skolebørn i København. Her bliver børn efter skoletid beskæftiget med lektielæsning, leg, sang, håndgerning - for pigernes vedkommende: Strikning, syning og arbejde med papir eller pap - for drengene: Kurvefletning, børstenbinderi og arbejde med træ og linoleum. Grunden til fritidshjemmene er lagt.Manden bag var Friedrich Fröbel (1782-1852), der både havde ulejliget sig med at finde på navnet og et pædagogisk indhold. Fröbel: Tyskeren, der opfinder børnehaverne og udvikler den første selvstændige førskolepædagogik. Er discipel af Pestalozzi, men modsat denne lægger han afgørende vægt på elevernes egen-virksomhed.Fröbels tanker inspirerede, og 1. maj 1871 oprettede cand.jur. Niels Juel-Hansen og hans hustru Erna Juel-Hansen en rigtig Fröbel-børnehave i Kvæsthusgade 7 i København. Ni år senere åbner fru Hedevig Bagger den tredje børnehave i København. Samme fru Bagger bliver senere den første rektor for Fröbelseminariet. (Se "Børn og Unge", 2003 nr. 51)
