The Discovery of the Rare Gases (Inscribed by Morris W. Travers who worked with Sir William Ramsay)
Edward Arnold, London Malicorne sur Sarthe, 72, Pays de la Loire, France 1928 Book condition, Etat : Bon hardcover, editor's binding, full clothes, black spine, dark blue boards, black title-piece In-4 1 vol. - 135 pages
21 texte-figures in black, a plate in frontispiece, photograph of a group in the laboratory in 1896, with Shieds, Sir William Ramsay, Travers, Williams and Kellas 1st edition, 1928 "Contents, Chapitres : Preface, Contents, vii, Text, 128 pages - Chemistry in the early Nineties - A new gas - Elements of compound - An unpublished reply to critics - Helium - Helium and argon, single elements of mixtures - A undiscovered gas - The search for the unknown gas - May and june, 1908 - Krypton and xenon - A difficult problem - Last experiments and Neon - Index - Morris William Travers, FRS (24 January 1872 25 August 1961) was an English chemist who worked with Sir William Ramsay in the discovery of xenon, neon and krypton. His work on several of the rare gases earned him the name Rare gas Travers in scientific circles. He was the founding director of the Indian Institute of Science. - Sir William Ramsay KCB FRS FRSE (2 October 1852 23 July 1916) was a Scottish chemist who discovered the noble gases and received the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1904 ""in recognition of his services in the discovery of the inert gaseous elements in air"" along with his collaborator, John William Strutt, 3rd Baron Rayleigh, who received the Nobel Prize in Physics that same year for their discovery of argon. After the two men identified argon, Ramsay investigated other atmospheric gases. His work in isolating argon, helium, neon, krypton and xenon led to the development of a new section of the periodic table." "ex-library copy, the binding is lightly used, top of the spine-end torn, 2 cms missing of clothes on the bottom of the spine, binding remains clean and rather nice, no dust-jacket, inside is in good condition, but with few library markings and book plate, the text is fine and unmarked, the book is incribed by Morris W. Travers to Chaston Chapman (Alfred Chaston Chapman was a chemist with a specialist interest in fermentation and brewing. He was president of the Institute of Brewing and Distilling from 1911-1913. In 1939 his widow donated to Leeds University Library his collection of books). This item is coming from Leeds University Library, with the stamp ""cancelled"". A very interesting paper on the origins of Rare Gases and Sir William Ramsay"

Argon, a New Constituent of the Atmosphere. Received and Read January 31, 1895.
London, Harrison and Sons, 1895. 4to. Orig. full cloth. Gilt lettering to spine. Blindtooled covers. First corner a bit bumped. In ""Philosophical Transactions"", Vol. 186 - I, Series A. XIV,(2),602,(4) pp. (Entire volume offered). The paper: p. 187-241 a. 8 textillustrations (apparatus). The title-page with faint brownspots. Otherwise internally clean and fine.
First printing of this importent paper in the history of chemistry, Lord Rayleigh's most famous discovery, announcing the discovery of this new gas, the first finding of one of the rare gases (inert gases) having unusual properties, and forming a distinct group in the periodic table, and all with zero valency.""The original paper in the ""Philosophical Transactions"" will undoubtly rank as a classic, the investigation having been a particularly brilliant ine."" (Ernst von Meyer in History of Chemistry). For this discovery Lord Rayleigh and W. Ramsay received the Nobel Prize (1904). The volume also contains WILLIAM CROOKES ""On the Spectra of Argon"", OSBORNE REYNOLD ""On the Dynamical Theory of Incompressible Viscous Fluids and the determination of the Criterion"", KARL PEARSON ""Contributions to the Mathematical Theory of Evolution. - II. Skew Variations in Homogenous Materials"" etc.After having made several measuring of the densities of gases, ""Rayleigh came across a curious puzzle. With oxygen, he always obtained the same density, regardless of how the oxygen might be produced, whether from one particular compound, from a second compound, or from the air. The situation was different with nitrogen. The nitrogen he obtained from air constantly showed a slightly higher density than the nitrogen he obtained from any of various compounds. Rayleigh could think of several ways in which the nitrogen obtained from air might be contaminated but none of the possibilities checked out experimentally. He was so frustrated that he went so far as to write to the journal ""Nature"" asking for suggestions. Ramsay, a brilliant Scottish chemist, asked permission to tackle the problem and received it. The upshot was that a new gas, somewhat denser that nitrogen, was discovered to exist in the atmosphere. It was named argon and it was the first of a series of rare gases of unusual properties whose existence had never been suspected.""(Asimow).Dibner, Heralds of Science No. 50 - Neville, Historical Chemical Library vol. II, p.358.

First printing of both papers in which Ramsay and Cleve - independently - announced their discovery of Helium on the Earth. Although Ramsay announced the discovery of Helium before Cleve had completed his research, the Swedish chemist was independent discoverer of the element.Helium was discovered in the sun already in 1868 by Jules Janssen and independently by Lockyer the same year. Janssen discovered helium in the sun when he observed a total eclipse in India by studying the spectra of the suns chromosphere and Lockyer, also by spectroscopy, found that the new line in the spectrum did not belong to any element then known and he named it Helium for the sun.In the same volume as Ramsays paper there are 5 papers by NORMAN LOCKYER dealing with the discovery of Helium on the earth, examining Ramsay's and Cleve's findings.Parkinson ""Breakthroughs"", 1895.

First appearance of the paper in which Ramsay and Travers announced their discovery of a new element which they named ""krypton"" (meaning hidden).""Dr. William Hampson presented them (Ransay & Travers) with about a liter of liquid air, which they used, not for liquefying the argon, but for obstaining sufficient skill in manipulation so that they would not risk loosing their precious fifteen liter of argon......The residue left after most of the liquid air had boliled away consisted largly of oxygen and nitrogen, which Ramsay and Travers temoved with red-hot copper and magnesium. ....(they) then examined the twenty-five cibic centimeters of residual gas, and when they found it to be inerst, they immediately placedit in a Pl'ucker tube connected to and induction coil and observed its spectrum. There was a bright yelælow line with a greener tint than that of the helium line and a brilliant green line that did nor coincide with any line of argon, helium, mercury, or hydrogen. They discoverede this gas on 30 May, 1898, and named it 'krypton'....they found that it belonged between bromine and rubidium in the periodic table, and so great was their excitement that the younger chemist almost forgot about his examination for doctor of sciwence which had been schedules for the next day.""(Weeks, p. 267).Parkinson ""Breakthroughs"", 1898 C.

Reference : 44170
(1894)
The Variation of Molecular Surface-Energy with Temperature. Received March 14, - Read March 23, 1893.
(London, Harrison and Sons, 1894). 4to. No wrappers as extracted from ""Philosophical Transactions"", 1893, Vol. 184. Pp. 647-673 a. 2 plates.
First appearance of an importent paper in the history of physical chemistry in which the authors for the first time shows experimentally that ""the molecular surface energy decreases linearly with the temperature, and that the temperature coefficient of molecular surface energy is a colligative property. Determination of the temperature coefficient of molecular surface energy, therefore, were largely employed for the purpose of calculating the molecular weights, and therefrom the molecular complexity, of substances in the liquid state.""(Findley ""A Hundred years of Chemistry"", p. 79).
