‎GALL, F.J. et G. SPURZHEIM. - FOUNDING PHRENOLOGY.‎

Reference : 52187

(1809)

‎Recherches sur le Système nerveaux en général, et sur celui du Cerveau en particulier, Mémoire présenté a L'Institut de France, le 14 Mars 1808" suivi D'Observations sur le Rapport qui en été fait a cette Compagnie par ses Commissaires. Avec une Planche. - [FOUNDING PHRENOLOGY]‎

‎Paris, F. Scholl, H. Nicolle, 1809. Large 4to. Bound uncut in contemp. (original ?) boards. A nick at bottom of spine. Scratches to coverpaper at top of spine, along fronthinge and lower right corner on frontboard. Stamps on title-page. (4),VII,277,(1) pp. and 1 lithographed plate with 5 figs. showing the brain. Some scattered brownspots, mainly on the first few leaves.‎


‎Scarce first edition of the monograph which initiated the new science of ""Phrenology"". Here they introduced in print the idea of the cerebrum as a collection of organs with different psychological functions, and focused the attention on the functions of the cerebral cortex. Broca regarded Gall's work on phrenology as ""the starting point for every discovery in cerebral physiology in our century"". The phrenological doctrine, with its suggestion of localization of the functions of the brain, gave a great impetus to the neurological sciences.""The first publication of importence is the mémoire presented by Gall and Spurzheim as candidates for election to the Insitur de France: Recherches.... 1809 (the item offered). The mémoire was presented on March 14, 1808, and a committee of five, including Pinel, with Cuvier as chairman, was appointed to examine the researches and the doctrine. Whether Napoleon actually interfered is nor certain, althugh it is plain that he was opposed to the doctrine. Cuvier's long negative report of fifty-two pages is cautious and conservative, and shows that his commitee realized that it was dealing with with a difficult and controversial matter."" (Edwin G. Boring).‎

‎"FRESNEL, A. (AUGUSTIN). - THE ""SECOND MEMOIR"" OF 1827, FIRST ENGLISH EDITION.‎

Reference : 47019

(1852)

‎Memoir on Double Refraction. (From the Mémoires de l'Academie Royale des Sciences d l'Institut de France, tome vii. 1827).‎

‎London, Taylor and Francis, 1852. 8vo. Without wrappers. In: ""Scientific Memoirs, selected from Transactions of Foreign Academies of Science... Edited by Richard Taylor."", Vol. V, Part XVIII. With titlepage to Vol. V. Pp. (151-) 352 (entire part offered). Fresnel's paper: pp. 238-333. Clean and fine. Titlepage with a small faint stamp.‎


‎First appearance in English of Fresnel's famous memoir - the memoir of 1827, his so-called second memoir - in which some of his groundbreaking discoveries concerning light is stated. He applies the concept of transverse waves to double refraction and representing the final construction, in the form of an equation of the fourth degree.In the paper Fresnel also explained the fact,that in some cases of quartz the rotation of polarization is from left to right and in other cases from right to left.. He proposed the term 'helical' to denote the property of rotating the plane of polarization, exhibited by such bodies as quartz. The term 'natural rotatory polarisation' is however, generally used.This memoir contains the first printing of three unpublished memoirs from 1821 and 1822 (Mémoire sur la double refraction.Extrait Read 26. Nov., 1821 - Supplement, presented 22 January 1822 - Second Supplement, presented April 1, 1822. - Explication de la réfraction dans le système des Ondes from ""Bulletin Soc. Philom."", 1821. See Jed. Z. Buchwald ""The Rise of the Wave Theory of Light"", pp. 461-63.‎
