‎Une riche correspondance personnelle. Cet ouvrage, ici en deuxième édition, recueille la correspondance du célèbre physicien André-Marie Ampère (1775-1836), fondateur de l’électrodynamique et esprit curieux par-dessus tout, et celle de son fils Jean-Jacques Ampère (1800-1864), historien spécialiste du Moyen Âge et fondateur de la littérature comparée. Outre les lettres échangées entre les deux hommes, on trouve celles envoyées ou reçues par les proches de la famille Ampère, plus ou moins illustres: Claude-Julien Bredin, Mme de Récamier, Sainte-Beuve, Pierre-Simon Ballanche, Chateaubriand, Alexis de Tocqueville, la vicomtesse de Noailles, etc. Table des matières à la fin de chaque volume, avec le sujet de chaque lettre. Exemplaire annoté de la famille de Tocqueville. Jean-Jacques Ampère était un intime d’Alexis de Tocqueville, qui lui écrivait à la veille de son départ en Égypte, le 2 décembre 1844: «N’êtes-vous pas un peu de la famille? Vous êtes du moins de cette famille intellectuelle et morale qui a pour lien les sentiments et les idées. En ce sens, je vous tiens pour un de mes parents les plus proches» (tome II, page 135). Notre exemplaire porte l’ex-libris armorié de Tocqueville au premier volume ainsi que plusieurs annotations au crayon: un relevé des lettres d’Alexis de Tocqueville avec des remarques en anglais sur les derniers feuillets, quelques corrections sur ces lettres, quelques passages soulignés… Relevons également ce «hum!» malicieux glissé en marge d’une lettre où Jean-Jacques Ampère jure à Madame de Récamier: «Vous avez beau dire, il n’y a que vous!» (tome I, page 239). Ex-libris manuscrit «B. Pochet de Tinan» aux faux-titres, sans doute Berthe Pochet de Tinan (1840-1903). Amie de Gounod et de Saint-Saëns, elle tenait un salon musical à Paris et dans sa maison du Havre. Intéressant exemplaire.‎

‎First German versions of Ampére's famous papers, the first announcements of Ampère's discoveries on electromagnetism, being the German version of Ampére's ""Mémoires sur I'action mutuelle de deux courans électriques, sur celle qui existe entre un courant électrique et un aimant ou le globe terrestre, et celle de deux aimans I'un sur I'autre.""Ampère first heard of Ørsted's discovery of electromagnetism on the 4th of September when Arago announced Ørsted's results to the Paris Academy of Sciences. In Ørsted's experiment a current-carrying wire is held over, and under, a compass needle - the result being that the needle is positioned at 45 degrees in respect to the wire. Ampére immediately saw that this result made no physical sense and realized that the true nature of the effect could not be observed until the force of terrestrial magnetism was somehow neutralized" what Ørsted had observed and reported on was the resultant of the force from the wire and that from the earth's magnetic field. Ampère discovered that the compass needle sets at 90 degrees to the current-carrying wire when the effect of terrestial magnetism is eliminated. He also observed that current-carrying wires which are formed as spirals act as permanent magnets, and this lead him to his theory that electricity in motion produces magnetism and that permanent magnets must contain electrical currents. And thus Ampère laid the foundation of the new field of electrodynamics.Ampère announced his theory and experimental results, for the first time, in a series of memoires read before the Paris Academy of Sciences in September and October 1820. These memoires were first published in the September and October issues of Arago's 'Annales de Chimie et de Physique'. In November Ampère had a seperate printing of his findings published under the title 'Mémoires sur I'action mutuelle de deux courans électriques, sur celle qui existe entre un courant électrique et un aimant ou le globe terrestre, et celle de deux aimans I'un sur I'autre.' (Dibner 62, Norman 43). Honeyman 82, Barchas 51, Wheeler 762. (The French versions).The volume contains other importent papers of historical importence, relating to the discovery of electro-magnetism by Oersted in 1820. (Raschig, Bechstein, Georg von Buquoy, Prechtl, Boisgiraud).‎

And thus Ampère laid the foundation of the new field of electrodynamics.""Ampère, professor of mathematics at the Polytechnique, heard of Oersted's discovery and immediately set up a series of experiments to determine the exact relationships of current-flow and magnetism. In a week Ampère presented the first of a series of papers establishing the laws of forces acting between conductors carrying current."" (Dibner). Ampère's seminal results were announced in a series of memoires read before the Paris Academy of Sciences in September and October 1820.

Ampere invented the Rotation Apparatus in order to repeat Faraday's experiment on the electro-magnetic rotation. He produced an uninterrupted rotation, either of magnetic pole around a wire or of a wire around a magnetic pole. From these experiments originated a new theory of electricity and magnetism. - The third memoir is the First French edition of Faraday's famous paper ""On some New Electro-Magnetical Motions, and on the Theory of Magnetism"" (Quaterly Journal of Science, October 1821), in which is recorded for the first time the conversion of electrical into mechanical energy. It also contains the first notion of the ""Line of Force"". He employed a magnet and a wire with a flowing current, which causd each separately to rotate round the other. He concluded that a current-carrying wire is sorraunded by a circular ""line of force"". Oersted had spoken of the ""electrical conflict"" surrounding the wire and had noted that ""this conflict performs circles"".‎

Arago related how Oersted had found that a steady electric current influences the orientation of a compass needle.

‎First appearance of Ampere's notable memoir (issued in 4 parts) in which he tries to set up a classification system for the elementary entities in chemistry tieing the elements together in a natural classification, a dim foreshadowing of the periodic table.""Here (in the paper offered) he drew attention to the similarities between Lavoisier's and his fellowers classification of elements in terms of their reactions with oxygen and Linnaeus' classification of plants in terms of their sexual organs. Bernard de Jussieu had successfully challenged Linnaeus with a natural system that took the whole plant into account and sought affinities between all parts of the plant, not just the flowers, as the basic classification. Ampère now wished to do the same thing for chemistry. By discovering a natural classification, i.e., one that tied the elements together by real and rather than artificial relations, Ampère hoped to prove a new insight into chemical reactions. His classificatory scheme, therefore, was not merely an ordering ofthe elements but, like the later periodic table of Dimitri Mendeleev, a true instrument of chemical research. Ampères system was as artificial as Lavoisier's...Thepapermay be noted, however, as an early attempt to find relationships between elements that would bring some order into the constantly growing number of elementary bodies.""(DSB I, p. 143).‎

‎First appearance of Amperes second paper on molecular physics.""The noumenal aspect of chemistry fascinated Ampère. Although his derivation of Avogadro’s law came three years after Avogadro had enunciated it, the law is known today in France as the Avogadro-Ampère law. This was Ampère’s first excursion into molecular physics, and was followed almost immediately by a second. In 1815 he published a paper demonstrating the relation between Mariotte’s (Boyle’s) law and volumes and pressures of gases at the same temperature. The paper is of some interest as a pioneer effort, along with Laplac’s great papers on capillarity, in the application of Mathematical analysis to the molecular realm.""(DSB).The volume contains 3 importent papers by Jean-Baptiste Biot on polarisation of light and Berzelius ""Experiences pour déterminer les proportions définies, dans lequelles les élémens de la nature organique sont combinés"" + ""Suite..."" 1-2, pp. 5-33, pp. 170-190 a. pp. 296-232‎
