(London, Richard Taylor, 1833). 4to. No wrappers as extracted from "Philosophical Transactions" 1833 - Part II. Pp. 507-522. and 1 textillustration. Fine and clean. First appearance of this importent paper in which Faraday announces his discoveries of the conductability of liquids."The author, while prosecuting his rechearches on electr-chemical decomposition, oberved some phenomena which, appeared to be referable to a general law of electric conduction not hitherto recognized. He found that an electric current from a voltaic battery, which is readily conducted by water, did not pass through ice: even the thinnest film of iice, interposed in the circuit, was sufficient to intercept all electrical influence of such low intensities as that produced, by the voltaic apparatus, although it allows of the transmission of electricity of such high intensity that ecited by the common electrical machine. The author ascertained that a great number of other substances, which are solid at ordinary temperatures, do not conduct the electric current from the volataic battery until they are liquified." (Abstract).From 1831 to 1852 Michael Faraday published his "Experimental Researches in Electricity" in The Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society. These papers contain not only an impressive series of experimental discoveries, but also a collection of heterodox theoretical concepts on the nature of these phenomena expressed in terms of lines of forces and fields. He published 30 papers in all under this general title.They represents Faraday's most importent work, are classics in both chemistry and physics and are the experimental foundations for Maxwell's electro-magnetic theory of light, using Faraday's concepts of lines of force or tubes of magnetic and electrical forces. His many experiments on the effects of electricity and magnetism presented in these papers lead to the fundamental discoveries of 'induced electricity' (the Farday current), the electronic state of matter, the identity of electricity from different sources, equivalents in electro-chemical decomposition, electrostatic induction, hydro-electricity, diamagnetism, relation of gravity to electricity, atmospheric magnetism and many other."Among experimental philosophers Faraday holds by universal consent the foremost place. The memoirs in which his discoveries are enshrined will never ceaseto be read with admiration and delight; and future generations will preserve with an affection not less enduring the personal records and familiar letters, which recall the memory of his humble and unselfish spirit."(Edmund Whittaker in 'A History of the Theories of Aether and Electricity' p. 197.

Copenhague, Pierre Steinmann, 1794. Contemp. full calf. Rubbed along edges. Spine gilt, top of spine with a little wear. (8),518,(2) pp. and 6 engraved plates. A few scattered brownspots. Første franske udgave af Ove Malling: "Store og gode Handlinger" (1777). I modsætning til den danske original indeholder denne franske oversættelse illustrationer efter tegninger af Erik Pauelsen i Chodowickis stil. 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. Planchen her er med fuld udfyldt baggrund. - Bibl. Danica III:22.

First appearance of the paper in which Ramsay and Travers announced their discovery of a new element which they named "krypton" (meaning hidden)."Dr. William Hampson presented them (Ransay & Travers) with about a liter of liquid air, which they used, not for liquefying the argon, but for obstaining sufficient skill in manipulation so that they would not risk loosing their precious fifteen liter of argon......The residue left after most of the liquid air had boliled away consisted largly of oxygen and nitrogen, which Ramsay and Travers temoved with red-hot copper and magnesium. ....(they) then examined the twenty-five cibic centimeters of residual gas, and when they found it to be inerst, they immediately placedit in a Pl'ucker tube connected to and induction coil and observed its spectrum. There was a bright yelælow line with a greener tint than that of the helium line and a brilliant green line that did nor coincide with any line of argon, helium, mercury, or hydrogen. They discoverede this gas on 30 May, 1898, and named it 'krypton'....they found that it belonged between bromine and rubidium in the periodic table, and so great was their excitement that the younger chemist almost forgot about his examination for doctor of sciwence which had been schedules for the next day."(Weeks, p. 267).Parkinson "Breakthroughs", 1898 C.
