Mémoire sur une nouvelle action de la lumière. (+) Deuxième mémoire sur une nouvelle action de la lumière. (+) Cinquième mémoire sur une nouvelle action de la lumière inconnue. (+) Sur une noublle action de la lumière.Sixième Mémoire. (4 papers).
(Paris, Mallet-Bachelier), 1857, 1858, 1861, 1867. 4to. No wrappers. In: ""Comptes Rendus Hebdomadaires des Séances de L'Academie des Sciences"", Tome 45, No. 20, Tome 46, No 9, Tome 53, No 1, Tome 65, No. 12. Pp. (785-832), (431-478), (1-) 40, (481-) 536. (4 entire issues offered). Niepce de Saint-Victor's papers: pp. 811-815, 448-452, 33-35, 505-507.
First apperance of these 4 papers relating his discovery of INVISIBLE ""CHEMICAL"" RAYS, and which, 30 years later, by Henry Becquerel was ""re-discovered"" as radioactivity (1896).The results of these investigations lead to these statement: Some compounds exposed to light exhibit in the dark the same effect as that produced by the direct action of light. - Cardboards impregnated with both uranium nitrate and tartaric acid are ""active"" - The ""activity"" remaining on the exposed cardboard is revealed by its action on a photographic plate - The effect is not due to phosphorescence - The activity is attributed to invisible ""chemical"" rays.It is amazing how closely these experiments resembled those performed by Henri Becquerel 30 years later.""When the work of Abel Niepce de Saint-Victor was brought to light, many persons thought that henri had been aware of these publications prior to his research on uranium. Severel facts seems to support this belief. Henri's father, Alexandre Edmond, had reported several details from Abel Niepce in a book entitled ""Light: its causes and effects"", published 1869. When Henri Carrington Bolton (1843-1903) reviewed in 1869 the work of Abel Niepce, he mentioned a ""remarkable property of uranium nitrate to absorb the actinic rays of light, retaining them in an active condition for a long time"". In 1866 and 1869, J. Jamin, henri's first stepfather, lectured at the Ecole Polytechnique on the Niepce effects.""(Michel Genet ""The Discovery of Uranic Rays: A short Step for Henri Becquerel but a Giant Step for Science"" in Radiochimica Acta /0/71 1995).
"EULER, LEONHARD. - ON MAUPERTUIS' PRINCIPLE OF LEAST ACTION
Reference : 46426
(1752)
Lettre de M. Euler a M. Merian. (+) Expose concernant L'Examen de la Lettre de M. de Leibnitz, alleguée par M. Le Prof. Koenig, dans le Mois de Mars, 1751, des Actes de Leipzig a l'Occassion du Principe de la Moindre Action.
(Berlin, Haude et Spener, 1752). 4to. No wrappers, as issued in ""Mémoires de l'Academie Royale des Sciences et Belles-Lettres"", 1750, tome VI, Titlepage to the section. (3), pp. 520-532 (+) pp. 52-64 (Expose).
In 1751, Maupertuis' priority for the principle of least action was challenged in print (Nova Acta Eruditorum of Leipzig) by an old acquaintance, Johann Samuel Koenig, who quoted a 1707 letter purportedly from Leibniz that described results similar to those derived by Euler in 1744. However, Maupertuis and others demanded that Koenig produce the original of the letter to authenticate its having been written by Leibniz. Koenig only had a copy and no clue as to the whereabouts of the original. Consequently, the Berlin Academy under Euler's direction declared the letter to be a forgery and that its President Maupertuis could continue to claim priority for having invented the principle.Enestroem: 182.
"BECQUEREL, HENRI et P. (PIERRE) CURIE. - REPORTING PHYSIOLOGICAL EFFECTS OF RADIUM.
Reference : 47432
(1901)
Action physiologique des rayons du radium. (The physiological Actions of Radium Rays).
(Paris, Gauthier-Villars), 1901. 4to. No wrappers. In: ""Comptes Rendus Hebdomadaires des Séances de L'Academie des Sciences"", Tome 132, No 22.. Pp. (1277-) 1375. (Entire issue offered). The paper: pp. 1289-1291.
First printing of a milestone paper in medical physiology as the report given of the physiological effects (radiactive burns) on his own arm lead directly to study the actions of radium on different diseases and its medical use in general. Radium's use gave promising results as it destroyed diseased cells, tumors and some cancers. The therapeutic method was to be called ""Curietherapy"".""The German scientists Walkhoff and Giesel announced in 1900 that the new substance had certain physiological effects" Pierre Curie at once applied the technique which seemed to him most practical. Indifferent to danger, he exposed his arm to the action of radium. To his joy, a lesion appeared. He watched over it, followed its evolution and, in a report to the Academy, phlegmatically described the symptoms observed (the offered paper).After the action of the rays, the skin became red over a surface of six square centimetres the appearance was that of a burn, but the skin was not painful, or barely so. At the end of several days the redness, without growing larger, began to increase in intensity on the twentieth day it formed scabs, and then a wound which was dressed with bandages" on the forty-second day the epidermis began to form again on the edges, working toward the centre, and fifty-two days after the action of the rays there was still a surface of one square centimetre in the condition of a wound, which assumed a greyish appearance indicating deeper mortification.""
