Stockholm, P.A. Nordstedt & Söner, 1858). Folio. Indbundet ubeskåret i et nyere helldrbd. af blåfarvet chagrin. Alle sider er kobberstukket (J. Gillberg, sculpsit). Titelblad + Forord + Förteckning (3 blade) samt 86 kobbertukne blade hver med flere illustrationer af medaljerne som blev slået under Gustaf III. Aldeles rent eksemplar og ubeskåret. En planche repareret i nederste højre hjørne, uden tab af tryk. Med exlibris, Coyet, Torup. Originaltrykket. Af forordet fremgår, at Gustav III i 1779 befalede, at der skulle præges medaljer over alle hændelser i hans regeringstid, og at der samtidigt skulle udgives et plancheværk afbildende disse medaljer, et værk efter det franske forbillede fra kongerne Ludvig XIV's og Ludvig XV's tid. Der blev anvendt betydelige omkostninger på dette foretagende, som ikke blev realiseret før Kongl. Witterhets Akademien overtog udgivelsen i 1840. Den planlagte tekst blev ikke udgivet, og plancherne, som her, udkom i et ganske lille oplag.

Pp. 840-856. [Entire volume: VII,(1),889,(1) pp.] First edition of the landmark paper in which Szilard solved the puzzle of Maxwell's demon and discovered a theoretical model that serves both as a heat engine and information engine, establishing the connection between entropy and information. "This work is now considered to be the earliest known paper in what became the field of "information theory". (Lanouette, Genius in the Shadows: A Biography of Leo Szilard, the Man Behind the Bomb). In the philosophy of thermal and statistical physics, Maxwell's demon is a thought experiment created by Maxwell to show that the Second Law of Thermodynamics has only a statistical certainty. "Maxwell's demon was first mentioned in a letter written to Tait in 1867. Maxwell was one amongst a number of researchers in the developing field of thermodynamics who was interested in seeking an understanding of thermal phenomena in terms of an underlying atomic physics. However, unlike Boltzmann and Clausius, who were attempting to prove the law of entropy increase from such atomic physics, Maxwell had realised that if thermodynamics was ultimately grounded in atomic theory, then the second law of thermodynamics could have only a statistical validity." (SEP). Szilard (In the present paper) attempted to investigate this special case of intelligently operated devices by considering a box containing only a single molecule. He argued that in order to achieve the entropy reduction, the intelligent being must acquire knowledge of which fluctuation occurs and so must perform a measurement. The second law would not be threatened provided there was a compensating cost to performing this measurement, regardless of the character of the intelligent being."Claude E. Shannon, who spelled out detailed relationship between information and entropy in the 1950s, also later acknowledged that Szilard's paper had proposed the basis for his new field study." (Lanouette, Genius in the Shadows: A Biography of Leo Szilard, the Man Behind the Bomb).

A Paris, (but Amsterdam, Pierre Mortier), 1693. 58x88 cm. Kobberstukket søkort over Øresund med den Skånsk/Hallandske kystline og den Sjællandske fra Møn i syd til Hesselø i nord. I pragtfuld fuld håndkolorering. Øverst i midten er indsat Amager og Saltholm i større målestok. Kortet "ligger ned", er orienteret øst/vest. Med kompasrose og vindretninger angivet. Det berømte søkort over Sundet fra Jaillot's "Neptune Francois", men i P. Mortier's samtidige udgivelse heraf fra Amsterdam med tilføjelsen "Levée et Gravée" i kartouchen. Jaillot's to søkort over Danmark gav anledning til en kritik af Jens Sørensens opmåling idet Admiralitete forelagde ham de franske og påtalte, at Sørensens kort næppe kunne være korrekte. Det var de imidlertid. Her er for første gang trykt det mere korrekte Amagerkort, der foranlediger at øen på næsten alle senere kort gengives stor og rund.

Numerous woodcut illustrations in the text, astronomical, mechanical, physical, physiological, anatomical, theory of light, theory of vision etc. etc. Printed on good paper, clean and fine. Third edition (appeared 1651 a. 1654). This is edition having the 2 plates which appears here for the first time and not in the earlier editions.Henricus Regius (in Dutch: Hendrik de Roy) may be recognised today primarily as one of Descartes' correspondents. However, he was also the author of a textbook of natural philosophy, Fundamenta physices (1646), which offered an alternative to Cartesian epistemology and metaphysics. His correspondence with Descartes, and his simultaneous controversy with G. Voetius during the 1640s, reflected Regius' efforts to establish his intellectual independence from scholastic philosophy and Cartesian metaphysics.(Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy).Willems, 1274. - Poggendorff II, 587 b.

These seminal papers constitutes the description of the first realization of artificial radioactivity produced by neutron bombardment, and it is the first demonstration of neutron-induced radioactivity. These highlights and his many other results have left their imprint on the most diverse parts of physics. Fermi was awarded the Nobel prize in 1938 for these discoveries."Acting on this idea, (Fermi reasoned that neutrons should be more effective than alpha particles in producing radioactive elements because they are not repelled by the nuclear charge and thus have a much greater probability of entering the target nuclei) Fermi bombarded several elements of increasing atomic numbers with neutrons. He hoped to find an artificial radioactivity produced by the neutrons. His first success was with fluorine. The neutron source was a small ampul containing beryllium metal and radon gas. The detecting apparatus consisted of rather primitive Geiger-Müller counters. Immediately thereafter Fermi, with the help of Amaldi, D’Agostino, Rasetti, and Segrè, carried out a systematic investigation of the behavior of elements throughout the periodic table. In most cases they performed chemical analysis to identify the chemical element that was the carrier of the activity. In the first survey, out of sixty-three elements investigated, thirty-seven showed an easily detectable activity. The nuclear reactions of (n, a), (n, p), and (n, ?) were then identified, and all available elements, including uranium and thorium, were irradiated. In uranium and thorium the investigators found several forms of activity after bombardment but did not recognize fission. Fermi and his collaborators, having proved that no radioactive isotopes were formed between lead and uranium, put forward the natural hypothesis that the activity was due to transuranic elements. These studies, which were continued by Otto Hahn, Lise Meitner, Irène Joliot Curie, Frédéric Joliot, and Savitch, culminated in 1938 in the discovery of fission by Hahn and Fritz Strassmann."(DSB)."The present papers are a summary of these letters (the letters from the team communicated almost weakly to "Ricerca Scientifica") for the English speaking readers. "When we (Fermi and Segre) went to Cambridge, we discussed with him (rutherford), in great detail, our work. The work which had been accomplished up to that date by our group is summarized in a paper which was presented by Lord Rutherford to the Royal Society (Paper No. 98). The manuscript of this paper had been prepared in Rome and delivered to him in Cambridge. he read it immediately with great attention, made several corrections to improve our English, and turned it over to the Royal Society. I asked him whether it would be possible to obtain a speedy publication and he immediately answered "What did you think I was President of the Royal Society for ?" (Collected Papers of Enrico Fermi, Vol. I, p. 641).Volume 149 contains the importent joint paper on SUPERCONDUCTIVITY by the brothers FRITZ And H. LONDON "The Electromagnetic Equations of the Superconductor", pp. 71-88."In 1933 shortly before Heinz London joined his brother at Oxford, W. Meissner and R. Ochsenfeld made a startling discovery. It was well known that currents in superconductors flow in such a way as to shield points inside the material from changes in the external magnetic field. This indeed is an obvious property of any resistance less medium, fully discussed by Maxwell in 1873 long before the discovery of superconductivity. But a superconductor does more. Whereas a zero resistance medium only counteracts changes in the field, it actually tends to expel the field present in its interior before cooling.... The London quickly saw its implications and in 1935 published a joint paper on the electrodynamics of superconductors, in which they replaced (paper by Deaver and Fairbanks) by a new phenomenological equation connecting the current with the magnetic rather than the electric field...

Berlin, Julius Springer, 1929. 8vo. Contem. hcloth. In "Zeitschrift für Physik", Vol. 53. VII,(1),889,(1) pp. The whole volume offered. Szilard's paper: pp. 840-856. Ex-lirbrary stamp to front free end-paper, otherwise no stamps or other markings. A fine copy. First edition of the important paper in which Szilard solved the puzzle of Maxwell's demon and discover a theoretical model that serves both as a heat engine and an information engine, eatablishing the connection between entropy and information. Szilard was the first to stress that any manipulator of molecules would have to rely on measurement and memory. If one assumed that the demon could perform such operations without causing any changes in the system, one would by that very assumption deny the second law of thermodynamics, which requires equivalent compensations for all decreases in entropy. Szilard therefore proposed that whatever negative entropy Maxwell's demon might be able to create should be considered as compensated by an equal entropy increase due to the measurements the demon had to make. In essence, Szilard made Maxwell's doorkeeper mortal-no longer granting this tiny intelligence the ability to 'see' molecules without actually seeing them, i.e., without the sensory exchanges of energy that all other existences require. Szilard took this step for the sake of a grander vision, the dream that the adoption of his principle would lead to the discovery of a more general law of entropy in which there would be a completely universal relation for all measurements. Information theory has brought that vision to reality.

The papers represents one of the first announcements of Berzelius' discovery of the fixed chemical proportions, determining the weights and valencies of the various constituent elements in inorganic compounds. The papers were published at the same time in Swedish, German (both here in Annalen and in Schweiger's Journal), and in French. By running many hundreds of analysis of chemical compounds he gave so many examples of the law of definite proportions that the world of chemistry could no longer doubt its validity, and in so doing he gave experimental evidence to the atomic theory. He hereby laid a solid fundation for the further development of chemistry. A reprint is found in Ostwald's Klassiker der exakten Wissenschaften, No. 35.According to Söderbaum (Jac. Berzelius, 2, p.12) "It was a giant work, one of the most importent in the history of chemistry, which was here presented. One is even more impressed when one remembers that it was a pioneer undertaking in every sense of the term. Analytic and synthetic methods existed before Berzelius' time, to be sure, but there were no precise methods of the sort which he required. They all had to be elaborated at the cost of time and labour."(J. Erik Jorpes "Jac. Berzelius", p.45)."In general Berzelius's efforts were directed toward the consolidation and extension of the atomic theory. He improved chemical analysis and determined the composition of a large number of compounds, thus verifying the laws of constant and multiple proportions and furnishing the most accurate equivalent weights then available. By ingenious methods he arrived at the correct atomic composition of most common substances, and thus was enabled to draw up (in 1826) a table of atomic weights very nearly identical with the modern one."(Leicester & Klicktein "A Source Book in Chemistry", p. 258).Parkinson "Breakthroughs", 1810-20 C.

Thunberg left Holland in 1771 and returned in 1778, spending three years at the Cape and five in Japan he became the first Western Scientist to investigate Japan's botany:"After his stay in Paris Thunberg returned to Amsterdam and was offered the opportunity to go to Japan in the service of Dutch merchants (Poll, Deutz and Hoven), to collect plants for the Amsterdam botanical garden and for their own collections. In order to be admitted in Japan, Thunberg had to pass as a Dutchman; he therefore spent 3 years in the Dutch colony at the Cape of Good Hope, becoming acquainted with the Dutch language and collecting plant material. After that he spent half a year on Java, and in August 1775 he arrived in Japan (Nagasaki). After his return from Japan, in November 1776, he spent another half year on Java...."

Internally some browning and brownspotting. Overall a nice and tight copy. [Bernoulli paper:] pp. 264-69. [Leibniz-paper:] pp. 45-47. [Entire volume: (2), 603, (1) pp. + plates]. First printing of the famous 1696-edition of Acta Eruditorum in which Johann Bernoulli published a challenge to the best mathematicians:"Let two points A and B be given in a vertical plane. To find the curve that a point M, moving on a path AMB , must follow such that, starting from A, it reaches B in the shortest time under its own gravity."Johann adds that this curve is not a straight line, but a curve well known to geometers, and that he will indicate that curve, if nobody would do so that year. Later that year Johann corresponded directly with Leibniz regarding his challenge. Leibniz solved the problem the same day he received notice of it, and almost correctly predicted a total of only five solutions: from the two Bernoullis, himself, L'Hospital, and Newton. Leibniz was convinced that the problem could only be solved by a mathematician who mastered the new field of calculus. (Galileo had formulated and given an incorrect solution to the problem in his Dialogo). But by the end of the year Johann had still not received any other solutions. However, Leibniz convinced Johann that he should extend the deadline to Easter and that he should republish the problem. Johann now had copies of the problem sent to Journal des sçavans, the Philosophical Transactions, and directly to Newton. Earlier that year Johann had accused Newton for having filched from Leibniz' papers. Manifestly, both Johann and Leibniz interpreted the silence from June to December as a demonstration that the problem had baffled Newton. They intended now to demonstrate their superiority publicly. But Newton sent a letter dated Jan. 30 1697 to Charles Montague, then president of the Royal Society, in which he gave his solution and mentioned that he had solved it the same day that he received it. Montague had Newton's solution published anonymously in the Philosophical Transactions. However, when Bernoulli saw this solution he realized from the authority which it displayed that it could only have come from Newton (Bernoulli later remarked that he 'recognized the lion by its claw').
