(London, Harrison and Sons, 1895). 4to. No wrappers as extracted from "Philosophical Transactions" 1895 - Vol. 186 - Series A, Part I. Pp. 243-251 and 1 plate (The Spectra of Argon). Clean and fine. First appearance of a classic paper in which Crookes by his spectrographic methods confirms the discovery of argon by Ramsey and Rayleigh in 1895. The plate is the first to show the spectra of argon, the first of the inert gases to be discovered.The paper first describes the spectra obtained by passing an electric discharge through argon at very low pressures,. Several specimens of argon (some containing traces of nitrogen) were invested. Crookes distinguished between the spectral lines attributable to argon and those of nitrogen and verified that the argon isolated by Lord rayleigh and William Ramsay was truly a new chemically inert element. (Neville I:p. 313).Sir William Crookes (1832-1919) studied at the Royal College of Chemistry , London, and served there as an assistant to Hoffmann. In 1859 he founded the Chemical News and remained its proprietor and editor until his death. he early attracted attentuion by his discovery of the element thallium by spectroscopic methods. he was an active investigator in many fields of physics and contributed greatly to the advance of knowledge by his study of the radiometer and of the electric discharge in rarefied gases. -(PMM: 386 describing J.J.

Berlin, G. Reimer, 1830. 4to. In "Journal für die reine und angewandte Mathematik, 6. Band, 1 Heft, 1830". In the original printed wrappers, without backstrip. Fine and clean. [Gudermann:] Pp. 1-39. [Entire issue: Pp. 106 pp. + 1 folded plate. ]. First printing of Gudermann extensive and important paper on hyperbolic functions. During 1830ies Gudermann focused his work on these functions and published extensive on the subject, the present paper being the first. It was later coined the Gudermannian function.The function was introduced by Johann Heinrich Lambert in the 1760s at the same time as the hyperbolic functions. He called it the "transcendent angle," and it went by various names until 1862 when Cayley suggested it be given its current name as a tribute to Gudermann's work in the 1830ies on the theory of special functions. The present paper together with two later published papers were collected in Theorie der potenzial- oder cyklisch-hyperbolischen functionen (1833), a book which expounded sinh and cosh to a wide audience.The issue also contain a paper by the famous Norwegian mathematician Niels Henrik Abel."Gudermann devoted much more attention to the theory of special functions. After the earlier works of Leonhard Euler, John Landen, and A. M. Legendre (Gauss's results were still in manuscript), Niels Abel's studies on elliptical functions, published mostly in A. L. Crelle's Journal für reine und angewandte Mathematik, represented an important divide in treating this area. In 1829 Carl Jacobi's book Fundamenta nova theoriae functionum ellipticarum was published. At the time Gudermann was one of the first mathematicians to expand on these results. Beginning with volume 6 (1830) of Crelle's Journal, he published a series of papers which he later summarized in two books: Theorie der Potenzialoder cyklisch-hyperbolischen Functionen (1833) and Theorie der Modular-Functionen und der Modular-Integrale (1844), which were to have had a sequel which was never written." (DSB).Gudermann is known today for being the teacher of Karl Weierstrass, who took Gudermann's course in elliptic functions in 1839, the first to be taught in any institute. Weierstrass was greatly influenced by this course, which marked the direction of his own research.

Illustrationerne viser personerne i en historisk scene med detailleret baggrund: Ansgar, C. Cornelisen, F. Bruun, H. Madsen, A. Colbiörnsen og Tordenskjold. - Scenen med Tordenskjold synes at være en af Pauelsen viderearbejdet udgave af et blad som Krohn (Krohn 769) beskriver således "Tordenskiold undviger de Svenske" Man ser Tordenskjold med Kaarden styrte sig i Havet, forfulgt af Svenske Dragoner" og han kalder raderingen ufulendt da den ikke har baggrund.
