K., 1837. Orig. bogtrykt kartonnage. Ryg rep. Med dedikation på forsatsen: "Til/Fru Johanne Louise Heiberg/med hengivenhed/fra/Forfatteren/d.16.Juni 1837.". Paludan-Müller og Johanne Louise Heiberg havde et særligt og meget varmt venskab, således skriver Johanne Louise heiberg i "Et Liv genoplevet i Erindringen" om Paludan-Müller: "denne noble digtergenius, som vi havde den glæde at have i vor omgangskreds." (5. rev. udg., 1973, p. 258). P.-M. skriver til hende, efter at have set hende optræde som Nina, en sonnet af samme navn, og afslutter med: "Ovenstående sonnet, der kun svagt udtrykker hvad jeg har følt ved Deres dejlige Nina, beder jeg Dem ikke forkaste; idetmindste lad den tjene Dem til Bevis på, med hvor megen deltagelse jeg har fulgt Deres fremstilling." ("Et Liv..." 5. rev. udg., 1973, p. 259).Dedikationer fra Paludan=Muller er yderst sjældne.

Hotchkiss's naval guns originated in the 1880s and were mostly 3 pounders and 6 pounders, and originally were widely used (by Britain, Russia, and the United States amongst others) for close-up defence of major warships against small craft armed with the newly invented locomotive torpedo. When improvements in torpedo range made them obsolete in this role, they continued to be used as small-craft armament up to and including World War II.

Biblical interpretation forms both the central theme of Cocceius’ many writings and the starting point of his systematic theology.” (Encyclopedia Britannica)

(Paris, Mallet-Bachelier), 1863 a. 1864. 4to. No wrappers. In: "Comptes Rendus Hebdomadaires des Séances de L'Academie des Sciences", Tome 57, No 23 a. Tome 58, No 3. Pp. (925-) 964 a. pp. (141- 180. (2 entire issues offered). Pasteur's paper: pp. 936-942 a. 142-150 and 1 engraved plate (Maladies des Vins - leurs Fermets..). First appearance of these famous papers initiating Pasteur's renowned studies on wine and its "diseases", being his most importent papers on wine."In December 1863 Pasteur published the first of the papers that culminated in his Études sur le vin (1866; 2nd ed. 1873). In that first paper, dealing with the role of atmospheric oxygen in vinification, he sought to establish that the aging of wine resulted from the slow penetration of atmospheric oxygen through the porous wook casks into which new wine was decanted. By virtue of this slow oxidation, he claimed, new wine grows less harsh and acid to the taste as it becomes clearer and lighter from the to the taste as it becomes clearer and lighter from the precipation of dark coloring matters. In his second paper (January 1864) Pasteur examined the "alterations" or "diseases of wine, especially wine from the Jura, his native department. Reviewing the familiar disease of "turned," "acid" "ropy" or "oily " wine, he associated each with a microscopic organism. He summarized the results of his first two papers by nothing that "wine, which is proudced by a cellular vegetation acting as a ferment [namely, yeast], is altered only by the influence of other vegetations of the same order; and once removed from the effects of their parasitism, it is made or matured principally by the action of atmospheric oxygen penetrating slowly through the staves of the casks."(DSB).

London, Printed by Taylor and Francis - Published by the Author, (1862-) 73. Folio. Papersize 54,5x36,5 cm. Lithographed and fully handcoloured. Adult with open wings on a branch. J. Gould & H.C. Richter, del. et lith. - Walter & Cohn, 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.

A few scratches and light discolouration to spine, otherwise a very fine and clean copy. 196 pp. + 11 plates. First appearance of Hansen’s et al’s famous work on kitchen middens (Køkkenmøddinger) which concluded the work of ‘The Second køkkenmøddingkommission’ 1893-1895. It was the large shell pile at Ertebølle In the Limfjord, which was the main site of the commission's work. These kitchen middens provided completely new insights into prehistory, on a national as well as international level. Through the finds, it was possible to study the earliest organization of prehistoric societies. The commission's interdisciplinary work as well as the results of the First Kitchen Mødding Commission in the 1840s and 1850s have had an enormous influence on archaeologists' work with chronology in Danish prehistory and our knowledge of the Stone Age in general. In the study it is concluded that they are not a unique type of coastal settlement but represent coastal, homebase settlements characterized by a dominance of shellfish in the cultural deposits. This is the only aspect by which they differ from the rest of the coastal habitation system. Shell midden sites seem to flourish in periods characterized by a rich marine biotope and coastal habitation can be seen as a direct reflection of variations/changes in the marine biotope. The kitchen middens were a hot issue in the international debate in the later 19th century, palynology was developed there, and the registration of human impact in the primeval forests in the pollen record discovered and explained. Denmark is regarded as being one of the core regions of Stone Age discoveries and hence also being a center for the development of ideas about Mesolithic and Neolithic societies. Later Scandinavian models for Mesolithic societies and their transition to farming were seen as representative for a far wider region, if not for the whole of Europe. Due to the extensive and important Danish research on kitchen middens, the Danish word ‘Køkkenmødding’ (also spelled ‘Kokkenmodding’) is often used in international archaeological literature.

(London, Richard Taylor and William Francis, 1853) 4to. No wrappers as extracted from "Philosophical Transactions" 1853, Vol. 143 - Part III. Pp. 357-365. Textillustrations. Clean and fine. First appearance of this highly importent paper in the development of thermodynamics, describing the experiments leading to the discovery of the cooling effect when a gas is allowed to expand freely. This is the founding theory, later used in refrigeration."The only substantial contribution to thermodynamics to which the joint names of Joule and Thomson are attached belongs to an idea conceived by Thomson, who saw the possibility of analyzing the deviations of gas properties from the ideal behavior. In particular a non-ideal gas, made to expand slowly through a porous plug so as to approximate a specified mathematical condition - constant enthalpy), would in general undergo cooling (essentially a transformation of atomic motion into work spent against the interatomic attractions)....But the appliocation of the Joule-Thomson effect to technology of refrigeration belongs to a later stage in the development of thermodynamics."(DSB VII, p. 182).The Joule-Thomson effect or Joule-Kelvin effect describes the increase or decrease in the temperature of a real gas (as differentiated from an ideal gas) or a liquid when allowed to expand freely through a valve or other throttling device while kept insulated so that no heat is transferred to or from the fluid, and no external mechanical work is extracted from the fluid. The Joule-Thomson effect is an isenthalpic process, meaning that the enthalpy of the fluid is constant (i.e., does not change) during the process. It is named for James Prescott Joule and William Thomson, 1st Baron Kelvin who established the effect in 1852, following earlier work by Joule on Joule expansion in which a gas expands at constant internal energy. The Joule-Thomson effect is sometimes referred to as the Joule-Kelvin effect. Engineers often refer to it as simply the J-T effect.

(Paris, Gauthier-Villars), 1875. 4to. No wrappers. In: "Comptes Rendus Hebdomadaires des Séances de L'Academie des Sciences", Tome 81, No 12 and No 23. Pp. (485-) 508 a. (1065-) 1148. (2 entire issues offered). Boisbaudran's papers: pp. 493-495 a. pp. 1100-1105. First printing of the paper in which Boisbaudran announced his discovery of Gallium, together with the first printing of the paper in which he, by a series of experiments proved that Gallium, the metal that he had discovered amd named in honour of France, is a true element. A larger paper on the discovery was published in 1877 in "Annales de Chimie et Physique". In 1879 Bausbaudran was awarded the Davy Medal for his discovery of Gallium. "In 1875 Boisbaudran spectroscopically discovered a new element, gallium, which he found in zinc blende from a mine in Hautes-Pyrénées. Continuing his work in Wurtz’s laboratory in Paris, he was a able to obtain the free metal by electrolysis of a solution of the hydroxide in potassium hydroxide. Gallium, Boisbaudran realized, was the "eka-aluminum" predicted by Mendeleev, and was the first of Mendeleev’s predicted elements to be isolated. Boisbaudran’s finding thus provided valuable evidence for the validity of Mendeleev’s periodic classification of the elements."(DSB)."Lecoq de Boisbaudran announced his discovery (by spectroscopic analysis) of the new element gallium. Mendeleev had first predicted its existence and had named it eka-aluminium. The discovery was made in the author's private laboratory, in a specimen of zinc blende from the Pierrefitte mine in the Angelès Valley in the Hautes Pyrénées. He describes how on the evening of 27 August 1875 he detected the existence of this new element, which he named "gallium" in honor of France (Gallia)... A month later he "performed in Wurtz's laboratory in Paris....a series of experiments to prove that gallium...is a true element"(Weeks). he discusses how he eventually isloated small amounts of pure metallic gallium and determined its physical and chemical properties. The paper (the paper offered) first describes gallium compounds (e.g., ammonium gallium alum,, chloride, oxide, and sulphate)."(Roy G. Neville II, p. 29).
