Paris, Victor Masson et Fils, Imprimerie Gauthier-Villars, 1863. Without wrappers. In ""Annales de Chimie et de Physique"", Troisieme Series - Tome 67, Cahier Avril. Titlepage to tome 68. Pp. 385- 512 pp. and 1 folded colour plate (Spectre solaire, Spectre Thallium, showing the green line). (The entire issue offered). The papers on Thallium: pp. 385-434. Smal, stamps on verso of titlepage. Lamy's paper: pp. 383-417.
William Crookes was the first to observe Thallium (1861) as he found a new green line in a selenium sample, but Lamy was the first to isolate it and to prove that it was a metal (1862). The paper offered is Lamy's full description of his discovery, a shorter announcement was published in ""Comptes rendus"", 23 June 1862.Claude-Auguste Lamy (1820-1878) examined some slime from a sulfuric acid plant at Loos which was using Belgian pyrite and observed the green spectral line. He extracted thallium sesquichloride and isolated the metal new by electrolysis. Only after his discovery, he found out that Crookes had earlier discovered and named the new element, and gave Crookes the honour. Crookes presumed that his Thallium was something of the order of Sulphur, Selenium or Tellurium but Lamy found it to be a metal. In April 1862 he reported to the French Académie des sciences.

First printing of Langevin's doctoral dissertation on X-rays and on the ionization of gases.Einstein wrote about Langevin : ""Langevin’s scientific thought displayed an extraordinary clarity and vivacity combined with a quick and sure intuition for the essential point. Because of those qualities, his courses exerted a decisive influence on more than a generation of French theoretical physicists..... It seems to me certain that he would have developed the special theory of relativity if that had not been done elsewhere, for he had clearly recognized its essential points.""

A bolometer is a device for measuring the power of incident electromagnetic radiation via the heating of a material with a temperature-dependent electrical resistance.""Correctly recognizing the need for measurements of the energy of radiation as a function of wavelenght, Langley developed a new instrument ""the bolometer"" between 1879 and 1881 to do this......The superior measurements by means of the bolometer, the newly discovered extent of the solar spectrum, and the new results for selective absorption of the earth’s atmosphere were significant contributions to the study of the sun and its effects on the earth.""(DSB).Langley was awarded the Nobe l in physics in 1908.The volume conatins also Gabriel Lippmann (Nobel Prize 1908) ""Princiope de la Coservation de L'électricité"", pp. 145-178 and Crooke's famous paper (in French) ""Sur la viscosité des Gaz trés raréfies"", pp. 476-547 with 1 plate.

First German edition of Laplace's groundbreeking papers on the ""Short-range Forces"" i.e. capillary action, cohesion of solids, chemical reactions etc., where Laplace makes a major contribution to the mathematization of the subject. The papers are his first contributions to mathematical physics, and appeared as supplements to Book X of the fourth volume of his ""Traité de mécanique céleste"".""The importence, for Laplace's theory, of the shortrange character of the molecular forces cannot be overstressed. Small terms involving the square of the distance were repeatedly ignored, and it is no coincidence that in his concluding remarks to the second supplement Laplace reiterated his belief in the idntity of the forces at work in optical refraction, capillary action, and chemical reactions. In accordance with his belief that capillarity is a consequence of intermolecular action at a distance (albeit a very small distance), he tried to determine the relativemagnitude of the attractive force between the particles composing the liquid (F1) and the force between the particles of liquid and those of the tube (F2).... experiments, performed at Laplace's request, by Gay-Lussac, Haüy, and Jean-Lois Trémary...gave the theory added plausibility, as Laplace himself was always ready to observe"" and they certainly helped it to survive the criticism of Laplace's only contemporary rival in the treatment of capillarity, Thomas Young.""(DSB XV, Suppl.

"LARMOR, JOSEPH. - THE FITZGERALD-LORENTZ CONTRACTION CONFIRMED.
Reference : 43015
(1898)
(London, Harrison and Sons, 1898). 4to. No wrappers as extracted from ""Philosophical Transactions"" Year 1897, Volume 190 - Series A. - Pp. 205-300, textillustr. Clean and fine.
First appearance of an importent paper announcing the first formulation of the complete Lorentz-transformation and with the first prediction of time dilation. ""It seems churlish however to deny that Larmor had gained an importent, if limited insight into time dilation, two years before Lorentz's striking similar and independent insight of 1899.""(Harvey R. brown in ""Physical relativity"", p. 61). - The paper also presents the ""Larmor formula"".It's notable that Larmor was the first who recognized that some sort of time dilation is a consequence of the Loretz transformation as well, because individual electrons describe corresponding parts of their orbits in times shorter for the [rest] system in the ratio 1/y.Parallel to the development of Lorentz ether theory, Larmor published the complete Lorentz transformations in the Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society in 1897 (in the paper offered) some two years before Hendrik Lorentz (1899, 1904) and eight years before Albert Einstein (1905). Larmor predicted the phenomenon of time dilation, at least for orbiting electrons, and verified that the FitzGerald-Lorentz contraction (length contraction) should occur for bodies whose atoms were held together by electromagnetic forces. In his book Aether and Matter (1900), he again presented the Lorentz transformations, time dilation and length contraction (treating these as dynamic rather than kinematic effects). Larmor opposed Albert Einstein's theory of relativity (though he supported it for a short time). Larmor rejected both the curvature of space and the special theory of relativity, to the extent that he claimed that an absolute time was essential to astronomy.Larmor held that matter consisted of particles moving in the aether. Larmor believed the source of electric charge was a ""particle"" (which as early as 1894 he was referring to as the electron). Thus, in what was apparently the first specific prediction of time dilation, he wrote ""... individual electrons describe corresponding parts of their orbits in times shorter for the [rest] system in the ratio (1 - v2/c2)1/2"" (in the paper offered).
