‎On a Property of the Magneto-Electric Current to Control and Render Synchronous the Rotations of the Armatures of a Number of Electromagnetic Induction Machines.‎

‎[No place], 1869. 8vo. In the original printed wrappers, no backstrip. Offprint from the ""Philosophical Magazine"", January 1869. With authors presentation inscription to front wrapper: ""With the author's Compliments."". Fine and clean. 9 pp.‎

‎Offprint issue with author's presentation insciption to front wrapper of Wilde's paper on how to control and render the magneto-electri current which nearly led to the discovery of the principle of self-excitation. This was, however, achieved by other inventors first, notably Charles Wheatstone and the Siemens brothers.""In 1856 Wilde established a business in Manchester as an electric-telegraph and lightning-conductor engineer, and spent some years on the development of a magneto-electric alphabetic telegraph, which was demonstrated at the international exhibition in London in 1862. In December 1863 he patented a twin-armature machine in which a magneto-electric generator provided excitation current for the field winding of another generator. These machines were made in quantity by Wilde & Co., but in use they had the disadvantage of becoming very hot. In 1867 [Described in the present paper]. he patented an entirely different type of multipolar machine, which was used for electro-deposition and arc lighting. Among his other patents was one in 1875 for the making of copper rollers for calico printing."". (Oxford DNB). Henry Wilde (1833 - 1919) was a wealthy individual from Manchester, England who used his self-made fortune to indulge his interest in electrical engineering. He invented the dynamo-electric machine, or self-energising dynamo, an invention for which Werner von Siemens is more usually credited and, in fact, discovered independently. At any rate, Wilde was the first to publish, his paper was communicated to the Royal Society by Michael Faraday in 1866. The self-energising dynamo replaces the permanent magnets of previous designs with electro-magnets and in so doing achieved an enormous increase in power. The machine was considered remarkable at the time, especially since Wilde was fond of spectacular demonstrations, such as the ability of his machine to cause iron bars to melt.‎

‎Scarce offprint issue, with a most interesting presentation inscription to one of the fathers of photography, of Wilde's paper on improvements of his electromagnetic induction machine introduced in 1866. Wilde discovered, independently of Werner von Siemens who is usually credited for the invention, the dynamo-electric machine. Despite Siemens being the one credited for the invention, Wilde was the first to publish a paper describing it" this was communicated to the Royal Society by Michael Faraday in 1866.Joseph Sidebotham (1824-1882) was the first to practice photography in Manchester and of the most important local photographers in general. His interest was, however, not confined to photography he was an amateur botanist, entomologist and astronomer. He was also a Fellow of the Royal Astronomical Society and lectured to the Mechanics Institute on astronomy and electro-magnetism.‎

Wilde states in the preface [printed here for the first time] that: ""The reprinting of this paper is all the more desirable, as some of the views set forth therein have been modified by subsequent investigatiors, without advancing much beyond what had already been accomplished"" while, in other instances, there has been a distinct retrogression from the solid position which chemical philosophy had attained more than forty years ago.""

‎Intéressant catalogue de la collection de monnaies de Jacob De Wilde, illustré d'un frontispice, une vignette de titre, 4 planches montrant le cabinet, une carte dépliante du monde grec, 25 planches représentant 150 pièces ainsi qu'un grand cul-de-lampe allégorique, le tout gravé sur cuivre par Adriaan Schoonebeek. Célèbre collectionneur amstellodamois de monnaies, de pierres gravées et d'antiquités, Jacob De Wilde (1645-1721) finança l'édition de trois catalogues de ses trésors. Il est fort possible qu'il ait rédigé lui-même les notices en latin qui forment l'ouvrage. La belle reliure en vélin doré a vraisemblablement été commandée par le collectionneur. Son décor est en effet identique à d'autres exemplaires offerts à des amis. ‎
