First appearance of this paper, the first announcment of Fizeau's results of his experiments with the velocity of light.""It (the paper) is less famous, for some reason, than the failure of Michelson and Morley to detect the aether drag, but NO LESS SIGNIFICANT. For it showed that the velocity of light increases in a medium according to the formula, v (1 - 1/n2), where v is the velocity of the medium, and n is the refractive index""(Gillespie in ""The Edge of Objecticity"" p. 427). Fizeau shows that the velocity of light is higher in water flowing in the direction of the beam than that of light propagating in the direction opposite the direction of flow. The paper offered is the shorter announcement of the research, the paper in full was published later in 1859 in ""Annales de Chimie et de Physique"". Albert Einstein later pointed out the IMPORTENCE OF THE EXPERIMENT FOR SPECIAL RELATIVITY.Fizeau's result was replicated by Albert Michelson and Edward Morley in 1886 repeated the experiment on a larger scale and confirmed Fizeau's results., and in 1914 it was confirmed by Pieter Zeeman. It was Arago in 1838, who suggested this ""crucial experiment"" to decide between the corpuscular and undulatory theories of light by comparing the speed of light in water and in air.. It vindicated the undulatory position.It was shown by Hendrik Lorentz (1892, 1895) that the experiment can be explained by the reaction of the moving water upon the interfering waves without the need of any aether entrainment. On this occasion, Lorentz introduced a different time coordinate for moving bodies within the aether, the so called Local time (an early form of the Lorentz transformation for small velocities compared to the speed of light). In 1895, Lorentz went a step further and explained the coefficient by local time alone and without mentioning any interaction of light and matter.

First appearance of thispaper in which the authors demonstrated importent similarities between sound - and lightwaves, and that interference takes place between rays of light of different wavelenghts thus giving considerably evidence for the wave theory of light.""By analyzing the white light source into simpler constituents by means of a spectroscope, Fizeau and Foucault were able to observe fringes produced by interfering light rays with a difference of travel equal to more than 7,000 wavelenghts, thus showing hat light waves, like sound waves, remain geometrically constant over a large number of periods. But light waves, because of their transverse vibrations, are more complex than sound waves. Light can assume different forms of planes of vibration as well as different intensities. Using the same spectroscopic apparatus as in the preceeding experiment, Fizeau and Foucault observed the interaction of two rays produced by passing a single polarized ray through a birefringent crystal. In this case, instead of obtaining alternating bands of light and dark, they obtained bands of light periodcally polarized in different planes of vibration.""(DSB V, p. 19).

Fine copy of this later edition of two of Jesephus' most important works. The later work is a translation of a Latin christological version of Josephus' De bello Judaico, dating from ca. 367-374 A.D. It is of uncertain authorship but cited as the work of ""Hegesippus"" or ""Egesippus."" It was transmitted among the works of and sometimes attributed to Ambrose, Bishop of Milan Titus Flavius Josephus was a first-century Romano-Jewish historian who was born in Jerusalem. He fought against the Romans during the First Jewish–Roman War as head of Jewish forces in Galilee, but surrendered in 67 CE to Roman forces led by Vespasian. After Vespasian became Emperor in 69 CE, he granted Josephus his freedom, at which time Josephus assumed the emperor's family name of Flavius. Josephus recorded Jewish history, with special emphasis on the first century CE and the First Jewish–Roman War (66–70 CE), including the Siege of Masada. His most important works were The Jewish War (c. 75) and Antiquities of the Jews (c. 94). The Jewish War recounts the Jewish revolt against Roman occupation. Antiquities of the Jews recounts the history of the world from a Jewish perspective for an ostensibly Greek and Roman audience. These works provide valuable insight into first century Judaism and the background of Early Christianity, although not specifically mentioned by Josephus. Josephus' works are the chief source next to the Bible for the history and antiquity of ancient Palestine. For centuries Josephus' works were more widely read in Europe than any book other than the Bible. They are an invaluable eye-witness to a momentous turning point in Judaism, Christianity, and Western civilization. The present edition was first published in 1569. Graesse III, Pp. 481-482

First printing of these two seminal articles, in which the basic principle of the modern wireless valve, also called the ""Fleming Valve"", is introduced for the first time, making radio-telephony and broadcasting possible. ""The immense superiority of the Fleming thermionic valve to all previous detectors of wireless waves caused it to be widely used as an efficient and reliable detector."" (PMM). When Lee DeForest perfected the ""grid"" in 1907, Fleming's wireless signals could be amplified to the degree necessary to make radio-telephony and broadcasting possible. The Edison effect was first described in a paper by William Henry Preece, who was shown an experiment by Edison ""On a peculier of Glow-Lamps when raised to high Incasdence"", 1885. This effect was known as the ""Edison effect"", and in 1890 Fleming, an electrical engineer who had worked with Edison Company in London and was now professor at University College, began a careful study of this phenomenon in carbon filament lamps. In 1904 he was able to demonstrate that this occurred not only with electric waves but also with wireless waves. He thus introduced the basic principle of the modern wireless valve, which permits only unilateral conductivity. (see PMM No. 396).Shiers, Early Television.

Real? honest men?, the Brueghels took part in the intellectual epic of their day which, from humanism to the spirit of the Enlightenment, brought about a renewal in thought and laid the foundations of Modernity. Through the human adventure of the Brueghel dynasty, progressing from obscure beginnings to recognition by the very greatest, Florence de Voldere introduces us to the genius of these men who created the Flemish aesthetic identity. She takes us through the Renaissance in Flanders in the form of a story in pictures. Through this approach based on a dynamic reading of the paintings, this book shows the crucial role of art at one moment of civilization, and opens up some decidedly novel perspectives for interpreting Flemish art.

Summary La L gende dor e de Jacques de Voragine constitue n'en pas douter une oeuvre centrale et incontournable de la litt rature europ enne. Le nombre consid rable de ses t moins manuscrits dans toutes les langues de l'Occident m di val permet largement de le mesurer, tout autant que la foule des oeuvres qui s'en sont inspir . On ne peut manquer pourtant de s' tonner : la L gende dor e a certes circul travers les milieux sociaux, les aires linguistiques et les territoires les plus divers, mais au prix de substantielles transformations, dans sa mat rialit , dans sa composition, dans ses significations et ses usages. Pourtant, sans devenir absolument m connaissable, la compilation hagiographique confectionn e la fin du xiiie si cle a rapidement constitu une matrice textuelle accueillante et ouverte aux interventions que ses lecteurs ult rieurs ont apport es pour mieux l'actualiser au gr de leurs besoins et selon les n cessit s des contextes. Tel est bien le paradoxe d'une oeuvre si plastique et polyvalente qu'avec une singuli re long vit litt raire elle parvient perdurer non pas malgr , mais gr ce aux modulations consid rables qu'elle connait. C'est ainsi que la L gende dor e a pu s'imposer comme un instrument la fois souple et robuste de la pastorale, tout la fois tourn vers l' dification de l'individu et assurant l'interface entre la collectivit de tous les hommes et la grande Cour des saints.

First appearance of Fontenelle's famous program for the philosophy of science of the Enlightment, stipulating the nature of scientific research in terms of the analytical geometry.""From 1699 to 1740 Fontenelle devoted himself almost exclusively to his task of editing the Histoire de l’Académie royale des sciences . . . avec les mémoires de mathématique et de physique pour la même année, tirés des registres de cette Académie. The volume for the year 1699, which appeared in 1702, opens with an untitled preface usually called ""Préface [sometimes ""Discours préliminaire""] sur l’utilitë des mathématiques et de la physique et sur les travaux de l’Académie (the paper offered), which contains essential material on the philosophy of science and is a sort of bridge between Descartes’s Discours de la méthode and Claude Bernard’s Introduction à l’étude de la médecine expérimentale. Here one finds the first literary expression of the idea of the interdependence of the sciences and of the constancy of the laws of nature.""
