First printing of a pioneer paper on the acoustics of the violin and on the construction of the Trapezoidal Fiddle.""In his earliest work Savart gave the first explanation of the function of certain parts of the violin. To learn how vibrations are transmitted from the strings to the rest of the instrument, he induced vibrations in a free wood plate by passing a vibrating string over a bridge at its center" he also used Chladni’s sand-pattern technique to observe the resulting nodal lines. Savart showed that the bridge transmits the string’s vibrations that the plate can be made to vibrate at any frequency" and that the corresponding mode is a modification of an unforced mode. He demonstrated that the sound post also serves to transmit vibrations, and he explained that it therefore should not be placed under a nodal line. Thinking that symmetry and regularity would produce the best tone, Savart built a trapezoidal violin with rectangular sound holes. When the instrument was played before a committee that included Biot, the Composer Cherubini, and other members of the Academy of Sciences and the Académie des Beaux-Arts, its tone was judged as extremely clear and even, but somewhat subdued.""(DSB).The issue also contains Eilhard Mitscherlich' famous paper in the first French version ""Sur la Relation qui existe entre la forme cristalline et les proportions chimiques"", pp. 172-190.

Summary Eusebius of Caesarea in Palestine, active between the end of the third century and the beginning of the fourth, is the Christian author who has handed down to us, in the form of quotations, the greatest number of Greek philosophical texts. Yet his precise relationship to philosophy has never been the subject of a comprehensive study. This book, which brings together contributions by leading specialists, aims to provide an initial overview. The analyses, covering most of Eusebius' works, starting with the Preparation for the Gospel, show the importance of philosophy in his thought. Beyond the use he makes of philosophers, sometimes to criticise them, sometimes to appropriate their ideas, Eusebius stands out for his fairly good knowledge of philosophy, especially Platonic philosophy, the issues of which he seems to understand well. Although he takes up from his Christian predecessors the idea that Christianity is, as such, a ?philosophy,? this claim sometimes implies a technicality that is revealed not only in the way he quotes and comments on the philosophers, but also in the presence in his work, less visible at first sight, of concepts and methods of exposition that bear witness to a real philosophical culture. At the end of these studies, Eusebius of Caesarea, too often reduced to a ?court theologian? or to the status of ?Father of Ecclesiastical History,? emerges more as the scholar he was, both Greek and Christian, whose work and thought are inseparable from the philosophical context in which they were born. Eus be de C sar e, en Palestine, actif entre la fin du IIIe s. et le d but du IVe s., est l'auteur chr tien qui nous a transmis, sous forme de citations, le plus grand nombre de textes philosophiques grecs. Pourtant, sa relation pr cise la philosophie n'avait jamais donn lieu une tude d'ensemble. Ce livre, r unissant des contributions crites par les meilleurs sp cialistes, vise faire un premier tat des lieux. Les analyses, portant sur la plupart des oeuvres d'Eus be, commencer par la Pr paration vang lique, montrent l'importance de la philosophie dans sa pens e. Au-del de l'utilisation qu'il fait des philosophes, tant t pour les critiquer, tant t pour s'approprier leurs id es, Eus be se signale par une assez bonne connaissance de la philosophie, surtout platonicienne, dont il para t bien comprendre les enjeux. S'il reprend ses devanciers chr tiens l'id e que le christianisme est, en tant que tel, une philosophie , cette revendication implique parfois une technicit qui se r v le non seulement dans la fa on dont il cite et commente les philosophes, mais aussi dans la pr sence dans son oeuvre, moins visible premi re vue, de concepts et de m thodes d'exposition qui t moignent d'une culture philosophique r elle. Au terme de ces tudes, Eus be de C sar e, trop souvent r duit un th ologien de cour ou au statut de P re de l'Histoire eccl siastique , appara t davantage comme le savant qu'il tait, grec et chr tien la fois, dont l'oeuvre et la pens e sont indissociables du contexte philosophique qui les a vues na tre.

It includes principal ocean steamship lines, distances in nautical miles along steamship routes andthe routes shown in red on the map, principal places etc. It measures 39 inches wide by 41 inches high (100 x 104 cm) and is printedon cloth. It's in reasonable condition for its age - a bit of foxing, a couple of other marks and some slight frayingbut no splits or tears- see pictures - they form part of the description.

SCHEELE, (CARL WILHELM). - THE REVISION OF SCHEELE'S VIEW ON THE NATURE OF AIR.

Helmstädt und Leipzig, J.G. Müllerschen Budhhandlung, 1785. Small 8vo. Orig. printed blue wrappers to both issues., no backstrip. In: ""Chemische Annalen...von Lorenz Crell"", 1785:1. Bd., 3. Stück. a. 1785: 1.Bd., Stück 4. ( 2 whole issues = Stück3-4). (2),196-288 a. (2),291-384 a. 1 engraved plate. - Scheele's papers: pp. 229-38 a. pp. 291-299.
First appearance of these importent papers by the discoverer of oxygen. ""In 1785, Scheele revised his views on the nature of air and fire (the papers offered) as a result of Lavoisier's observations on the increase in weight on burning phosphorus in air. He says he had also often observed the formation of water on the explosion of a mixture of inflammable air (hydrogen) and fire air in a bottle, but had thought that the moisture was in the gases (as Priestly had done in 1781....(Parkinson III:p.228). ""It is only the exact observation of Lavoisier which had helped me out of the dream..""(Scheele).

"SCHLEGEL, FRIEDRICH. - COINING THE TERM ""COMPARATIVE GRAMMAR"".

(1808)
Heidelberg, Mohr und Zimmer, 1808. Contemp pink boards. Gilt titlelabels on spine. Lacks a bit of coverpaper on top of spine. Wear to spine ends and along edges. XVI,324 pp. Faint scattered brownspots.
Scarce first edition of Schlegel's work on the grammatical connections between Sanskrit and the Indo-European languages. It represents an important moment in the development of the study of comparative grammar, a term which Schlegel himself coined in the text.
Berlin, J.A. Barth, 1898. No wrappers. In ""Annalen der Physik"", Neue Folge Band 65, No 5. Pp. 1-240.. (Entire issue offered, No.5). Titlepage to vol. 65. Stamp on titlepage. Schmidt's paper: pp. 141-151, textillustr. A tear to inner lower corners of pp. 24-32. (not affecting Schmidt's paper). Clean and fine.
First printing of Schmidt's full exposition, in which he describes his discovery of the radioactivity of Thorium. Schmidt and Marie Curie independently demonstrated the radioactive quality, but Schmidt's demonstration took place a few months before Curie's. The discovery was announced, but not described in full, in a short message published in ""Verhandl. d. Phys. Gesellsch. zu Berlin, 1898.""Schmidt made his discovery while examining ""many elements and compounds"" in an effeort to determine whether any of the rays that were emitted bore a resemblance to those that Henri becquerel had found emerging from uranium and uranium compounds. He located only one such element, thorium, and immediately conducted absorption, ionization, reflection, refradction, and poklarization studies to determine the characteristics of its rays. Having combined a misinterpretation of Becquerel's with one of his own, Schmidt concluded that thorium rays most resembled Röntgen rays - a conclusion that soon required revisoln in view of the researches of Marie Curie and Ernest Rutherford.""(DSB XII, p. 191.
