"HITTORF, JOHANN WILHELM. - INTRODUCING THE NOTION OF ""TRANSPORT NUMBERS"" OF IONS.
Reference : 43082
(1853)
Leipzig, Johann Ambrosius Barth, 1853, 1856, 1858, 1859. Without wrappers in ""Annalen der Physik und Chemie. Hrsg. von J.C. Poggendorff"", Dritte und Vierte Reihe, Bd. 89 No. 6 u. 7, Bd. 98 No 5, Bd. 103 No 1, Bd. 106 No. 3. The 5 entire issues offered. Hittorf's papers pp. 177-211 (Bd. 89), pp. 1-33 (Bd.98), pp. 1-56 (Bd.103), pp.337-411 a. 513-586 (Bd. 106). In all 7 engraved plates. All issues fine and clean.
First printing of all 4 fundamental papers on electrochemistry, where Hittorf states his concepts of ionic migration and transport numbers, concepts that should be the foundation stones of the later evolved theory of ionization, culminating in Svante Arrhenius's famous discovery of electrolytic dissociation.""After Faraday's experimental investigations in 1834, it was accepted that the electricity passing through an electrolytic cell was carried by the movement of charged ions produced from the decomposition of the compounds making up the solution. Daniell had extended these ideas in 1839 and showed that salts were compounds not of acid anhydrides and metallic oxides as had been thought, but of metallic cations and elemental or compound acid anions. Believing that the conductivity of solutions was due to these ions, he began a study of their transference. In 1853 Hittorf took up the problem. He extended the ideas of Daneill by reasoning inthe following manner: Cations and anions exist in solutions and migrate under the influence of current through the solution. The migration of the cation toward the cathode and away from the anode, and the deposition of the anode on the positive electrode, together result in a decrease of teh salt in the neighborhood of the anode. A similar analysis shows that there is also a decrease in the concemtration of the salt in the neighborhood of the cathode. If the motion of the two dissimilar ions were the same, the decrease in the concentration of the salt would be the same at the two electrodes.....Hwe concluded that the speeds of migration...were different and he characterized this fact by defining ""transport numbers"", which specified the portion of the transport of electricity carried by each ion. (DSB VI, p. 439). - Leicester & Klickstein ""A Source Book of Chemistry"", p. 400-406.In the 2 issues of 1853 are contained 2 papers by Helmholtz of fundamental cjharacter, both in physiology and on the theory on the conservation of energy. HERMAN HELMHOLTZ: ""Ueber einige Gesetze der Vertheilung elektrischer Ströme in körperlichen Leitern mit Anwendung auf die thierisch-elektrischen Versuche (+) Ueber einige Gesetze....(Schluss). 2 papers. 1853. (Bd. 89 No.6 a. 7). Pp. 211-233 a. pp. 353-377.""In this work (the papers offered) Helmholtz for the first time enters the field of mathematical physics and physiology, with the full equipment of the higher mathematical analysis, of which he was the only master in its application to the latter science.....This very interesting and fundamental work on the distribution of electrical currents in material conductors is purely mathematical in character, owing to Helmholtz's method of proving the theorems, which are intelligible enough from the physical point of view, It is essentially connected with the treatise on the CONSERVATION OF ENERGY, since helmholtz merely substitutes for the expression 'free tension' there employed, the identical concept of Gauss's potentia, or Green's potential function.""(Koenigsberger in ""Hermann von helmholtz"", p. 99-103.).

Die Arbeit beschaftigt sich mit einer Werkgruppe, uber die es bisher kaum zuverlassige Untersuchungen gibt, obwohl ihre zentrale Bedeutung fur die Entwicklung der Motette in der zweiten Halfte des 15. Jahrhunderts unumstritten ist. Die funfstimmigen Tenormotetten von Johannes Regis (ca. 1435-ca. 1495) bilden die alteste Gruppe dieser Werke, entstanden nach isorhythmischen Werken von Guillaume Dufay und in einem Block in der fast alle Ockeghem-Messen uberliefernden Prachthandschrift Chigi zusammengefasst. Im ersten Teilband steht die Analyse der satztechnischen Genese der Motetten im Mittelpunkt. Die methodologische Grundlage der Analyse bilden die theoretischen Arbeiten von Ernst Apfel, deren Ergebnisse hier zum erstenmal konsequent fur die Beschreibung der Satzgestaltung angewandt werden. Der zweite Teilband beinhaltet eine kritische Edition der Tenormotetten von Johannes Regis. Eine ausfuhrliches Quellenverzeichnis und ein umfangreiches Register schliessen die Arbeit ab.

First printing of an influential paper in structural mechanics.""In 1840, Hodkinson presented his investigation on buckling of columns to the Royal Society (the paper offered). His purpose was to verify the theoretical formula of Euler...Cylindrical, solid and hollow specimens with rounded and flat ends were tested. Foer slender, solid struts, good accord was found with Euler's formula...It was also found that a strut with flat ends has the same strenght as a shorter strut og half its lenght which has rounded ends.""""Hodkinson baceme the professor of mechanical principles of engineering in University College, London, in 1847, and, during his tenure of the chair, he participated as a member of teh Royal Commission appointed to inquire into the application of iron to railway structures. In 1841 Hodgkinson was awarded a Royal Medal for his work on strenght of pillars and, in the same year he was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society.""(Timoshenko ""History of Strenght of Materials"", p. 128-29). - Darmsatedter, 1840 H.
