The Arnauld family became its patrons and the abbey's subsequent history was directed by a number of the members of that family. In 1625 most of the nuns moved to a new Port-Royal in Paris, which subsequently became Port-Royal de Paris (or, more commonly, Port-Royal) while the older one was known as Port-Royal des Champs ("Port-Royal of the fields").

Buys-Ballot's paper: pp. 765-768. First appearance of this pioneering paper in meteorology in which Buys-Ballot noted that on his synoptic charts of the Netherlands the wind blew at right angles to the pressure gradient, and he later stated this fact in the form of a law: "When you place yourself in the direction of the wind,.... you will have at your left the least atmospheric pressure". The direction of the winds are such as to balance the pressure gradient and the Cariolis forces.The application of the principles of Buys Ballot's Law had an importent impact on navigation and shipping as it helped to establish the probability of the existence of a storm and the best course to steer to try avoid the worst of it - with the best chance of survival.Parkinson "Breakthroughs" 1857 M.

.London, Printed by Taylor and Francis - Published by the Author, (1862-) 73. Folio. Papersize 54,5x36,5 cm. Lithographed and fully handcoloured. Two birds, female and male outside the nest in a tree with a baby bird. Tree with fruits. J. Gould & H.C. Richter, del. et lith. - Walter, Imp. Fine and clean. The plate is accompanied with the original textleaf. (2) pp. This is an original plate from Goulds great work "The Birds of Great Britain", issued between 1862 and 1873. The plates in this work were executed by Gould himself, and a few by J. Wolf, H.C. Richer and Hart. Together with Audubon's plates, the Gould-plates are considered the best bird-art ever produced, AND THE PLATES IN HIS "BIRDS OF GREAT BRITAIN" ARE THE PEAK OF GOULD'S ARTISTIC LIFE. In the foreword Gould stresses the difference from his "Birds of Europe" in the treatment of the illustrations, the inclusion here of the figures of the baby birds and nests, and he comments "Many of the public are quite unaware how the colouring of these large plates is accomplished; and not a few believe that they are produced by some mechanical process or by chromo-lithography. This, however is not the case; every sky with its varied tints and every feather of each bird were coloured by hand; and when it is considered that nearly two hundred and eighty thousand illustrations in the present work have been so treated, it will most likely cause some astonishment to those who give the subject a thought.". Elsewhere he remarked upon employing "almost all colourists in London." - Wood p. 364. - Nissen No. 372. - Sitwell 102. - Zimmer pp. 261-62. - Not in Jean Anker.

(Berlin, J.A. Barth, 1902). No wrappers. In "Annalen der Physik", Vierte Folge. Band 8, No 5. Pp. 1-232 a. 1 folded plate. (Entire issue offered, No. 5). Lenard's paper: pp. 149-198. The block is punched in inner margins after cords. Punching does not affects the text. Fine and clean. First printing of Lenard's famous paper in which he made the crucial discovery that the electron energy showed not the slightest dependence on the light intensity', a fact to be explained in 1905 by the existence of light-quanta by Einstein."In 1902 Lenard succeeded in discovering importent properties of the photoelectric effect. He found that as the intensity of the light increases the number of electrons set free rises, but their velocity remains unaffected: the velocity depends solely on the wavelenght. The interpretation of this relationship was provided in 1905 by Albert Einstein's hypothesis of light quanta. In 1905 Lenard received the Nobel Prize in physics for his cathode ray experiments; and in 1907 he succeede Quincke as professor and director of the physics and radiology laboratory at the University of Heidelberg...(The Laboratory was renamed the Philipp Lenard Laboratory in 1935)."(DSB VIII, p. 181). - Parkinson "Breakthroughs" 1902 P.
