First edition of a main work on the the physiology of the nerves in the lower animals. Loeb founded the theory of ""tropism"" as the basis of the psychology of the lower forms of life and he became the apostle of the mechanistic conceptions in biology.Loeb became one of the most famous scientists in America, widely covered in newspapers and magazines. He was the model for the character of Max Gottlieb in Sinclair Lewis's Pulitzer-winning novel Arrowsmith, the first great work of fiction to idealize and idolize pure science. Mark Twain also wrote an essay titled ""Dr. Loeb's Incredible Discovery"", which urges the reader not to support a rigid general consensus, but instead be open to new scientific advances.Loeb was nominated many times for the Nobel Prize but never won. - Garrison & Morton: 1428.

Interessantes, vielmals aufgelegtes Werk über Krankheiten, Diagnostik und Heilung. Die Erstausgabe erschien 1560 in Antwerpen. Joost van Lom, “ungefähr 1500 in Buren (Gelderland, NL.) geboren, studierte wahrscheinlich in Paris, da er mit Fernel sehr befreundet war. Er practicirte in Doornik, war da mindesten 1557 Stadtarzt und etablirte sich darnach in Brüssel, wo er Leibarzt Philipp's II. wurde. Van Lomm war ein sehr guter Stylist, schrieb sehr reines Latein und man behauptet von ihm, dass kein einziger Arzt seines Jahrhunderts die Kenntniss der Krankheiten so viel gefördert habe, wie er.” (Hirsch).“Sous le titre d'observations médicales, Lomm a donné en réalité un traité de sémiotique dans le goût d'Hippocrate, c'est-à-dire appliquée surtout au pronostic. Il n'est plus question là de l'influence des astres sur la marche des maladies, les symptômes bons ou mauvais sont considérés comme des phénomènes naturels; l'auteur ne fait de concessions qu'à la doctrine des nombres et des périodes septénaires.” (DESM).

(Petropoli (St. Petersbourg), 1750). 4to. Uncut, without wrappers. Extracted from ""Novi Commentarii Academiae Scientiarum Imperialis Petropolitanae"", Tom. I. ad Annum 1747 et 1748. Pp. 245-266 a. 1 engraved plate (ad. p. 251). Clean and fine.
First appearance of a groundbreaking paper in chemistry in which Lomonosov describes his discovery of the transition of a metal into passive state, and this is the first scientific description of this phenomena. He observed and described fast termination of the dissolution of iron in concentrated nitric acid, and attributed this to a change in the solvent properties.""Lomonosov employed corpuscular mechanics in chemical explanations more extensively than Boyle had done. Treating chemical compounds as particles in adhesion, he held that ""adhesion is eliminated and renewed by means of motion.....since no change in a body can take place withouy motion"". He attempted to apply these theories to chemical phenomena - although he was limited to speculation- in papers on the action of chemical solvents in general..""(DSB VIII, p. 469).""Lomonosov was founder of Russian science, and he would be universally recognized as a great pioneer of science had he been born a West European. He was famous also for his literary works, including poems and dramas. In 1755 he wrote a Russian Grammar that reformed the language and in the same year he helped found the University of Moscow. In 1760 he published the first history of Russia.""(Isaac Asimov).

LONDRES 1750 une vue d'optique en couleurs, GRAVÉE A L'EAU-FORTE ET AQUARELLE SUR PAPIER DE FORMAT: 44,5 x 29 cm., 1750 Londres Publish'd according Act of Parliament, sans nom d'Editeur,
Les vues doptiques sont un type particulier destampes populaires publiées en Europe au XVIIIe siècle. Ces estampes étaient une forme de divertissement destinée à être vue à travers des appareils appelés « machines optiques », « optiques », « zograscopes ». Ces estampes étaient exposées par des forains ambulants dans les rues de toute lEurope et étaient également collectionnées par les professionnels et les classes supérieures qui possédaient des machines optiques chez eux. Il y avait une grande curiosité pour lapparence des villes européennes non visitées et des lieux exotiques aux confins du globe, et ces estampes étaient lun des seuls moyens pour le grand public davoir un aperçu du monde. Les machines optiques utilisées pour ces gravures étaient équipées d'une lentille qui améliorait pour les spectateurs le grossissement et la perception de la profondeur tridimensionnelle des scènes représentées. Un miroir était souvent utilisé pour que les gravures en perspective puissent être vues à plat, et dans ces cas, les images étaient vues à l'envers. Il n'est donc pas rare que les scènes représentées soient dessinées à l'envers, et il y a souvent aussi un titre imprimé à l'envers en haut, permettant aux spectateurs de le lire rapidement. Il y avait généralement un texte supplémentaire au bas des gravures, souvent en plusieurs langues, qui pouvait être lu par l'opérateur de l'optique au bénéfice de son public ......... rare gravure ........... en bon état (good condition). en bon état

First printing of these two fundamental papers, revealing a lasting result in the history of physics, as both authors INDEPENDENTLY OF EACH OTHER, discovered the mathematical formula for the dependence of refraction of light upon specific gravity. It is very interesting that they found the formula - now called the Lorenz-Lorentz Equation or Formula - with altogether different ways and methods. They both discovered the formula before 1880, L.V. Lorenz first, but, also independently, published their final versions in the same periodical, and in the same year (the 2 papers offered). - Parkinson ""Breakthroughs"" 1880 P.

Uncut and unopened, clean and fine.(The entire volume offered). Lorentz's paper pp. 103-176.
First appearance of an importent paper on the aberration of light ""in which he concluded that Fresnel's view of the luminiferous ether was superior to Stokes's. Unlike Stokes, Fresnel in his theory of aberration assumed that the ether near yhe earth did not participate in its motion. Lorentz thought that the hypothesis of the complete transparancy of matter to the ether was implicit in Fresnel's whole theory.""(DSB VIII, p.493). Lorentz further shows that the results of the Michelson-Morley experiments did not vindicate the theory of Stokes as Michelson thought, and he demonstrates that the results can be explained by his own theory as a combination of Fresnel's and Stokes's theories.

X,273,49,(3) pp., textillustrations and plates. (Entire volume offered). Lorenz's paper: pp. 26-45 and pp. 9-16 (Resumé en Francais). Clean and fine.
Scarce first edition of Lorenz' landmark paper, which contains his important studies on the electromagnetic theory of light in which he - less than two years after, but independently of, Maxwell - found that LIGHT MIGHT BE INTERPRETED AS ELECTROMAGNETIC WAVES, and that his equations lead to the CORRECT VALUE FOR THE VELOCITY OF LIGHT. ""The procedure which Lorenz followed was that of which Riemann had suggested in 1858, namely, to modify the accepted formula of electrodynamics by introducing terms which, though too small to be appreciable in ordinary laboratory experiments, would be capable of accounting for the propagation of electrical effects through space with a finite velocity...The (Lorenz-) equations are, however, the fundamental equations of Maxwell's theory"" and therefore the theory of L. Lorenz is practically equivalent to that of Maxwell, so far as concerns the propagation of electromagnetic disturbances through free aether.....he suggested that ALL LUMINOUS VIBRATIONS MIGHT BE CONSTITUTED BY ELECTRIC CURRENTS, and hence that there was 'no longer any reason for maintaining the hypothesis of an aether, since we can admit that space contains sufficient ponderable matter to enable the disturbance to be propagated"" (Edmund Whittaker in ""A History of the Theories of Aether and Electricity I"", p. 267-70).

First printing, off-print in original printed wrappers of this groundbreaking paper.""A further remarkable result of Lorenz' optical researches on the basis of his fundamental wave equation was the well-known formula (Lorents-Lorenz formula) for the refraction constant R... His first paper on the refraction constant, in which he also gave an experimental verification of his formula in the case of water, dates from 1869. In 1870 H. A. Lorentz arrived at the same result, independently of Lorenz."" (D.S.B. VIII:501).
