‎The Action of Light on Selenium. Received May 18, - Read June 15, 1876. - [INVENTING THE SOLAR CELL]‎

‎(London, Harrison and Sons, 1878). 4to. No wrappers as extracted from ""Philosophical Transactions"" 1877 - Vol. 167. Pp. 313-349.‎

‎First appearance of Adams and Day's landmark paper, in which they demonstrated that electricity could be produced from light without moving parts, eventually leading to the modern solar cell. It is here that Adams shows for the first time that the discovery of Willoughby Smith - that the conductivity of selenium is due only to the effect of light - is correct and furthermore that light has an effect on the resistance of selenium and that light generates electrical currents in selenium. Two years later Adams expanded the work and published 'Solar Heat'. Here he described his ""Power Tower Concept"", which to this day remains the basis of solar plants.William Grylls Adams (1836 - 1915), professor of Natural Philosophy at King's College, London, and brother of the famous astronomer John Couch Adams (1819-1892), was President of the Physical Society of London from 1878 to 1880. In 1872 he was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society and in 1875 delivered their Bakerian Lecture. He was president of the Institute of Electrical Engineers and of the mathematical and physical section of the British Association.His greatest achievement lies in demonstrating the seminal discovery that electricity could be produced from light without moving parts. The road to this discovery was begun in 1839 when Becquerel discovered that illumination of one of two metal plates in a dilute acid changed the electromotive force. Another French scientist, Auguste Mouchout, followed up on Becquerel's discovery, but it was not until 1876, when Adams and Richard Evans Day discovered that illuminating a junction between selenium and platinum has a photovoltaic effect, that the foundation for the documented use of solar thermal power was laid [with the publication of the present paper]. ""From a historical viewpoint, it is of interest to note that the first experiments on the generation of solar thermal power in India were conducted by an Englishman, William Adams, about one hundred years ago. Adams stayed in Coloba, Mumbai and performed his experiments in the compound of his bungalow. He used a sphecical reflector 12 m in diameter, made from sheets of glass mirror. The sun's rays were focussed on a boiler having a capacity of about 60 litres and the steam generated was used to drive a 2.5 HP steam pump. Adams's work is described in a book written by him entitled ""Solar Heat - A Substitute for Fuel in Tropical Countries for Heating Steam Boilers and Other Purposes"" (Education Society's Press, Byculla, Bombay, 1878)."" (Sukhatme & Neyak, ""Solar Energy.

He is notable for his contribution to the discovery of the photoelectric effect, on which all solar energy applications are based. He was inspired by Auguste Mouchout's invention of the solar steam engine. With the intent of making improvements to Mouchot's design, Adams began to experiment with different materials and designs. In 1876, working in conjunction with his student, Richard Day, he discovered that selenium produced electricity when exposed to sunlight. Using the selenium, he then added mirrors to the design to concentrate sunlight on the engine. This design came to be known as the power tower concept and is still in use today.""

‎A commentary or, exposition upon the divine second epistle generall, written by the blessed apostle St. Peter. 2 vols. - [""THE SHAKESPEARE OF THE PURITANS""]‎

‎London, Richard Badger (Vol. 1) & Felix Kyngston (Vol. 2) for Jacom Bloome, 1633. Folio (338 x 230). Two volumes uniformly bound in contemporary full calf with six raised bands. Small paper-label pasted on to top of spines. Soiling to extremities, small wormholes to boards and wear to capitals. Endpapers miscoloured and with tears but internally generally fine and clean. Text within simple lined border. (6), 764 pp."" (2), 801-1634, (28) pp. ‎

‎First edition of Adams' great commentary on the Second Epistle of Peter in which he combines exegesis with pastoral and practical applications. ""Adams published no other sermons after the appearance of his folio Workes until the appearance of Gods Anger and Mans Comfort (1652), his final two sermons. The only intervening work is his Commentary on Second Peter, a massive folio edition of 1634 pages on which Adams worked between 1620 and 1633. A learned and elegant capstone of his career, the Commentary reaches a more sophisticated level of scriptural exegesis and theological analysis than possible in the sermon form. In it, as in his sermons, he uses both the older Euphuistic style, with its sound devices or schemata, and the newer Senecan style, with its emphasis on brevity and point. It is difficult to explain Adams' abrupt disappearance from public view. Much about his ministry would have been distasteful to William Laud, Bishop of London in 1628 and Archbishop of Canterbury in 1633, whose increasingly repressive episcopacy silenced many suspected of Puritan leanings. Adams' staunch defense of the monarchy and ecclesiastical hierarchy notwithstanding, much about his career could have raised suspicions about his conformity. His strongly Calvinist doctrines, his bitter anti-papal sentiments, his wish that matters of ceremony be left ""indifferent"" rather than enforced, his criticism of the popish ""idolatry"" that threatened to creep into the Church, and his popularity as a lecturer: any one of these characteristics could have laid him open to attack by Laud and his followers."" (Dictionary of Literary Biography)Thomas Adams (1583-1653), an English clergyman and preacher - often referred to as ""The Shakespeare of the Puritans"" - known for his eloquent and vivid preaching, and his commentaries reflected his deep engagement with biblical texts. His works, including commentaries on various books of the Bible, were well-regarded in his time for their literary style and spiritual insight.‎

‎ "Contents, Chapitres : Introduction by Ernest Samuels, Acknowledgments, Textual notes, Editor's preface by Henry Cabot Lodge, Preface, xxx, Text, 705 pages - Henry Brooks Adams, 1838-1918, est un journaliste, historien et romancier américain conservateur qui s'est rendu célèbre par la publication de cet ouvrage, ""L'éducation d'Henry Adams"". Il a également développé une théorie de l'histoire basée sur le second principe de la thermodynamique. Dans son ""Education"", Adams voyait la Vierge Marie comme le symbole de l'ancien monde, et la dynamo comme celui de la modernité. L'ouvrage fut publié en 1907 de façon confidentielle, avant de devenir un bestseller pour lequel il obtint le prix Pullitzer en 1919." minor wear on the bottom of the spine and the borders of the wrappers, inside is clean, but there are few yellow overlinings on around 40 pages, it remains light and a very good reading copy‎
