Clausius' paper: pp. 426-452. With titlepage to volume 120. First appearance of one of Clausius' importent papers in which he gives further proofs of the Second Law of thermodynamics."Clausius discovered that if he took the ratio of the heat content of a system and its absolute temperature, this ration would always increase in any process taken place in a closed system. (A closed system is one that loses no energy to the outside world and gains no energy from it.) With perfect efficiency, which is never realized in the real world, of course, the ratio would remain constant, but i would never, under any circumstances, decrease."(Asimov).

Dulong & Petit's paper: pp. 240-263. Some brownspots to title-page and a stamp on verso. A few scattered brownspots. First apperance of this (their first) joint paper, which initiated the recheches leading, the year after, to the "Law of Dulong and Petit", the connection between atomic weight and atomic heat."In 1815 Dulong’s famous collaboration with the mathematical physicist Alexis Thérèse Petit began; it produced three important memoirs on heat (of which this is the first). The best-known part of this work is the statement of the law of constant atomic heats that bears their names, .... They began with the fundamental problem of measuring quantities of heat, which involved a critical analysis of thermometric scales. In 1804-1805 Gay-Lussac had carried out a comparison of mercury and air thermometers between 0°C. and 100°C. Dulong and Petit extended the range of comparison up to 300°C. and found an increasing discrepancy between the two scales at higher temperatures." (DSB).

First appearance of an importent historical paper in the investigations of radiation from cathode rays. This is Crookes first 2 papers on attraction and repulsion. In the same year he invented the "light-mill"."While working with his balance in a vacuum, Crookes noticed another "anomaly": the equilibrium of the balance was disturbed by slight differences in temperature of his samples. Inparticular he noticed that warmer bodies appeared to be lighter than colder ones:....At first Crookes believed this was a signpost pointing to a link between heat and gravitation....Since the attraction or repulsion was heighned by a decrease in pressure, Crookes was led s to suppose in 1873 that "the movement is due to a repulsive action of radiation" Repulsion was produced not only by heat radiation but also by light, and Crookes concluded - erraneously, as it turned out - that he had found a genuine case of "the pressure of light" postulated by the unfashionable corpuscular theory of light and Maxwell's as yet unaccepted electromagnetic theory."(DSB III:477).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.

Some scattered brownspots. Laurent's papers: pp. 107-111, 196-220,376-397 a. 397-422. First printing of these importent papers in the history of organic chemistry explaining the differences to Dumas' law of substitutions, and introducing a "new type" and what he calls "fundamental and derived radicals". The introduction of the "Nucleus Theory" was the basis for the unitary theory formulated by Gerhardt."While studying the reactions of naphthalene and its compounds with the halogens and nitric acid, Laurent was from the start characteristically concerned with the construction of an explanatory theory that would account for these phenomena. Like most creative scientists, he generalized his solution to a specific problem through the imaginative use of analogy, leading to the elaboration of the first comprehensive theory adequate for dealing with the whole domain of contemporaneous organic chemistry." (DSB)."A founder of modern organic chemistry, Laurent was one of the most important chemists of the nineteenth century. He considered the behavior of matter to be a manifestation of its intimate internal structure, which one cannot determine with certainty but which one has to investigate if one wants to understand. Laurent’s preoccupation was to construct a method that could guide the chemist forward along this path, from facts to their causes. He was the first chemist to intimately associate crystallo-graphic data and chemical studies. Louis Pasteur and Charles Friedel later followed the way."(DSB).
