(1829)
Über ein neues allgemeines Grundgesetz der Mechanik (Gauss) + (Abel:) Précis d'une théorie des fonctions elliptiques + Précis dúne théorie des fonctions elliptiques. (Suite du mémoire 19. cah. dern.). 3 Memoirs.
(Berlin, G. Reimer, 1829). 4to. No wrappers. Extracted from ""Journal für die reine und angewandte Mathematik. Hrsg. von A.L. Crelle"", Bd. 4. - Gauss' paper: pp. 232-35. - Abel's papers: pp. 236-278 and pp. 309-348.
First printing of probably Gauss' most importent work in physics by presenting his ""Principle of Least Action"" , which states that the motion of a system of points which are influenced both by each other and by outside conditions is such as to maximize the agreement with free motion, given the existent constraint. The work is based on his Potential Theory.""In it (the present paper) Gauss stated that the law of least constraint: the motion of a system departs a little as possible from free motion, where departure, or constraint, is measured by the sum of products of masses times the squares of their deviations from the path of free motion. He presented it merely as a new formulation equivalent to the well-known principle of d'Alembert. This work seems obviously related to the old meditations on least aquares, but Gauss wrote to Olbers on 31 January 1829 thai it was inspired by studies of capillarity and other physical problems."" (Kenneth O. May in DSB).The two papers (first printings) by Abel (book-lenghts memoirs) are his last works - he died 1829 and they were published after his death - on the theory of ""elliptic functions"", the discovery of which he shared with Jacobi. In these papers he mentions also the great discoveries published in his memoir 1826 (Memoire sur une proprieté générale d'un classe très-etendu de fonctions transcendentes), which was not published until 1841.Together with these 3 memoirs is found a paper by Alexander von Humboldt: ""Über die bei verschiedenen Völkern üblichen Systeme von Zahlzeichen und über den Ursprung des Stellenwerthes in den indischen Zahlen"", 1829. Pp. 205-231.
Principia generalia theoriae figurae fluidorum in statu aequilibrii.
(Göttingen, Dieterich, 1830). 4to. Partly uncut. Spine closed with paperlabel. In: ""Commentarii Societatis Regiae Scientiarum Gottingensis. Classes Mathematica"", Bd. VII. Pp. (39-) 88. Clean and fine.
First appearance of an importent paper in which Gauss introduced a new method in the calculus of variations and a mathematical treatment of forces of attraction.Gauss had worked on physics already before 1831, publishing ""Uber ein neues allgemeines Grundgesetz der Mechanik"" , which contained the principle of least constraint, and ""Principia generalia theoriae figurae fluidorum in statu aequilibrii"" which discussed forces of attraction. These papers were based on Gauss's potential theory, which proved of great importance in his work on physics. He later came to believe his potential theory and his method of least squares provided vital links between science and nature.""In 1830 appeared Principia generalia theoriae figurae fluidorum in statu aequilibrii, his one contribution to capillarity and an important paper in the calculus of variations, since it was the first solution of a variational problem involving double integrals, boundary conditions, and variable limits.""(DSB).Dunnington, no. 95.- The memoir was reprinted in Ostwald's Klassiker No. 135.

Hannover, Carl Meyer, 1865. 4to. Contemp. modest hcloth. 2 orig. photographs mounted as frontispiece (Gauss-medal). 279,72,(2) pp. 3 plates, 6 tables. Internally clean.
First German edition of this milestone in mathematical statistics, first published in Latin as ""Theoria motus corporum coelestium in sectinibus conicis solem ambientum. 1809."" - In this work Gauss revealed for the first time his method of least squares. On January 1, 1801, the Italian astronomer Giuseppe Piazzi discovered the planetoid Ceres, but could only observe it for few days before it was lost in the glare of the Sun until the end of the year. After so many months of not being observed it was not possible to calculate with existing methods at which position it should reappear. However Gauss, at an age of 24, astounded when he in December predicted the exact location at which Ceres again could be observed. Gauss did not reveal how he had calculated the orbit of Ceres. First in 1809 Gauss published his second book ""Theoria motus corporum coelestium in sectionibus conicis solem ambientium"" (the offered item) in which he revealed his new method of orbit calculation. In the first part he dealt with differential equations, conic sections and elliptic orbits, while in the second part, the main part of the work, he showed how to estimate and then to refine the estimation of a planet's orbit using a new method involving minimizing the sum of squared residuals, e.g., the method of least squares. He was able to prove the correctness of the method under the assumption of normally distributed errors. It is here that the Gaussian curve, expressing statistical distribution in probablility, makes its appearance. This work, along with the 'Discuisitiones', was the fruit of the triumphal decade in Gauss' life and established his reputation as a mathematical and scientific genius of the first order.

First announcement of the results that they had obtaines by treating boric acid with potassium, showing that acid is composed of a combustible substance and oxygen. ""Before regarding their proof (of the existance of a new element) as complete Gay-Lussac and Thenard wished not only to decomposed boric acid, but to recompose it. On November 30 of the same year they were able to state in the 'Annales de Chemie et de Physique"" (the paper offered) that ""the composition of boracid s no longer problematical. In fact, said they, ""we decompose and we recompose this acid at will"" (Weeks ""Discovery of the Elements"", p. 160). - Parkinson ""Breakthroughs"", 1808 C. - Bunch, 1808.The volume contains other importent paper, Davy's famous paper on electrolysis in first French translations, Gayton-Morveau""Description d'un hygrometre pour le gaz..."", d'Arcet ""Observations sur la potasse et sur la soude préparées à l'alcool"" etc.

First printing of Gay-Lussac's classic paper on Iodine, (discovered 1811 by J.C. Courtois), in which he showed that the new substance was an element analogous of chlorine and in which he named the substance Iode, from the Greek ioeides, meaning ""violet colored"".Gay-Lussac's and Davy's rechearches on iodine were carried out simultaneously, which makes it difficult to assaign priority. Gay-Lussac was annoyed at Davy's introsion. His work, however, is considered as a model of experimental research. (Leicester & Klickstein ""A Source Book of Chemistry"", p. 293).""Gay-Lussac's major publication on iodine was not ready to be read to the Institute until August 1814, by which time not only Davy but Vaquelin had explored the subject fairly extensively. Gay-Lussac, however, deserves full credit for his detailled study of hydrogen iodide, which he found to have a 50 percent hydrogen content by volume. He contrasted its thermal decomposition with the stability of hydrogen chloride. By the action of chlorine and iodine, he pepared, independently of Davy and at about the same time, iodine monochloride and trichloride. After further carefull study of the properties of iodine, he prepared and examined a number of iodides and iodates. He prepared for the first time ethyl iodide by distilling together concentrated hydriodic acid with absolute alcohol. The close analogy that he emphasized between chlorine and iodine led him to further investigation of the former, and he discovered chloric acid by the action of sulfuric acid on a solution of barium chlorate.""(DSB V, pp. 322-23). - Parkinson ""Breakthroughs"", 1814 C. - Duveen p. 237.The volume contains other importent chemical papers, A.

First appearance of this milestone paper in organic chemistry, in which Gay-Lussac describes the preparation, the chemical reactions, and the determination of the physical properties of prussic acid.""One of the most importent contributions of Gay-Lussac was his work on hydro-cyanid acid and its compounds. In the course of his investigations on the combining volumes of gases he had prepared gaseous hydrogen cyanide. This led him to the study of related compounds, and in 1815 he published a paper, ""Recherches sur l'acide prussique"" (the paper offered), wherein he announced the discovery of cyanogen and chlor-cyanogen and the composition of hydrocyanic acid. His demonstartion that hydrogen cyanide contains no oxygen added another oxygen-free acid to those already known (hydrogen halides and sulfide) and contributed to the overthrow of Lavoisier's oxygen theory of acids. Gay-Lussac found that the cyano radical,the first orgianic radical clearly recognized, could act as an element analogous to chlorine, passing unchanged through various reactions. This concept of an organic radical was importent to organic chemistry.""(Leicester & Klickstein ""A Source Book of Chemistry"", p. 293). - Partington IV, p.85 a. p. 253. - Roy G.

IMITATION AND ILLUSION, Applied Brocade in the Art of the Low Countries in the Fifteenth and Sixteenth Centuries
, Brepols Publishers, 2011 hard cover, 660 p., 230 x 290 mm, Languages: English. ISBN 9782930054117.
In the late Middle Ages luxurious textiles were among the most highly prized indicators of status and wealth and an essential requirement of prestigious secular and ecclesiastical life. The depiction of these sumptuous silks and gold brocades was a crucial element in the visual arts, and their realistic and recognizable representation was a challenge to every artist. Painters and polychromers strove to imitate the fashionable fabrics by using applied brocade, a highly sophisticated form of relief decoration that adhered to panel paintings, murals and sculpture and through the play of light and shadow evoked the dazzling illusion of gold-brocaded cloths. Imitation and Illusion is the result of a detailed study of applied brocade in the art of the Low Countries. Eleven fascinating and innovative chapters offer an in-depth examination of the historical, geographical, morphological and technical aspects of this cast tin relief technique. New light is also shed on artistic collaboration and workshop practice in the fifteenth and early sixteenth century. The catalogue includes 86 well known and lesser known panel and wall paintings, sculptures, altarpieces, and architectural elements produced between 1420 and 1540, decorated with applied brocade and providing stunning testimony to the visual variety and material magnificence of late-medieval art. Abundantly illustrated, Imitation and Illusion investigates the artistic production of the fifteenth- and sixteenth-century Low Countries from an intriguing and original perspective. It represents a significant contribution to our understanding of medieval polychromy and will appeal to everyone whose curiosity is aroused by the illusionistic ingenuity of the medieval artist.
