First edition of the first systematic description of the flora of Morocco. Schousboe was Danish consul-general in Morocco, and sponsored by the Dane Johann v. Bülow, he travlled round Morocco in the years 1791-93 to describe the flora. The catalogue descibes the plants in Danish and Latin. The work was translated the year after into German and many years later into French (1874). - Pritzel: 8343. - Jackson p. 351 (The French edition).

(Ca. 1885-88). 14,6 x 10,5 cm. Mounted on cardboard measuring 16,7 x 10,9 cm., from Elliott & Fry Photographers in Beker Street, London. Grieg is photographed in 1/3 profile, looking to his right. Edvard Grieg is Norway's greatest composer. This photograph is taken at the height of his career, in London, which he began visiting from the late 1880's, and where he kept returning till his death. At the time of this photograph, Grieg's fame was at its peak, and his music was more popular in England that that of any other living composer. He was awarded honorary doctorates at both Oxford and Cambridge Univeristies.

Light soiling to extremities. Upper outer corner of of front wrapper with small tear, otherwise fine and clean. Pp. 159-180 [Entire issue: iv, (6), 418 pp. + 15 plates. First appearance of a historical paper in physiscs.This paper is the last of Faraday's papers in the series "Experimental researches in electricity". The paper is the only one of the 30 papers which was not reprinted in the 3 volume work, published 1856.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).

(London, W.Nicol, 1826). 4to. No wrappers as extracted from "Philosophical Transactions" 1826 - Part III. Pp. 324-337 and 1 engraved plate. A faint dampstain to top of plate. First appearance of Drummond's paper in which he described his (and Goldsworthy Gurney's) invention and coined the word 'limelight'. His apparatus, demonstrated on the plate, was originally used for surveying as the title of the paper shows. Drummond claimed the light to be 83 times brighter than any previous artificial light.The Scottish engineer, Thomas Drummond (1797-1840), saw a demonstration of the effect by Michael Faraday and realized that the light would be useful for surveying. Drummond built a working version in 1826, and the device is sometimes called the Drummond Light after him. Limelight was first used in public in the Covent Garden Theatre in London in 1837 and enjoyed widespread use in theatres around the world in the 1860s and 1870s. Limelights were employed to highlight solo performers in the same manner as modern followspots (spotlights). Limelight was replaced by electric arc lighting in the late 19th century. (Wikipedia)."John Hersehel describes the impression produced when the light was first exhibited in the Tower: "The common Argand burner and parabolic reflector of a British lighthouse were first exhibited, the room being darkened, and with considerable effect. Fresnel’s superb lamp was next disclosed, at whose superior effect the other seemed to dwindle, and showed in a manner quite subordinate. But when the gas began to play, the lime being brought now to its full ignition and the screen suddenly removed, a glare shone forth, overpowering, and as it were annihilating, both its predecessors, which appeared by its side, the one as a feeble gleam which it required attention to see, the other like a mere plate of heated metal. A shout of triumph and of admiration burst from all present."’ (DNB).Parkinson "Breakthroughs", 1825 C

(London, Harrison and Sons, 1883). 4to. No wrappers as extracted from "Philosophical Transactions" Year 1882, Volume 173 - 1883. - Pp. 993-1033 and 5 plates (1 heliogravure (instrument), 4 folded recordings). First edition of Gaskell's classic in neuroscience on the musculature and innervation of the heart."In the Croonian lecture for 1881, dealing with the frog heart, Gaskell presented an important new method for studying heart action (later named the "suspension method") and insisted that cardiac inhibition depended less on nerve or ganglionic mechanisms than on the inherent properties of the cardiac musculature. The role of the vagus nerve in inhibition was reduced to that of being the “trophic” (anabolic) nerve of the cardiac muscle. Yet in the same lecture Gaskell produced impressive evidence against Foster’s myogenic theory of rhythmicity and advocated instead the neurogenic view that discontinuous ganglionic discharges are responsible for the rhythmicity of the normal heartbeat. The background to this defection was exceedingly complex, but it derived from an initial assumption (which Foster himself accepted) that ganglionic impulses - whatever their role in rhythmicity - are somehow involved in coordinating the normal sequence of the vertebrate heartbeat."(DSB).Garrison & Morton, 829.

First appearance of Faraday's first breakthrough in chemistry as he here synthesized for the first time chloro-carbons."In 1820 he (Faraday) produced the first known compounds of chlorine and carbon, C2Cl6 and C2Cl4. These compounds had been produced by the substitution of chlorine for hydrogen in "olefiant gas", our modern ethylene. This was the first substitution reaction; such reactions, in the hands of Charles Gerhardt and August Laurent in the 1840's, were to be used as a serious challenge to the dualistic electrochemical theories of J.J. Berzelius." (DSB IV, p. 531).Parkinson "Breakthrough" 1820 C.
