"BERNARD, CLAUDE. - THE DISCOVERY OF THE GLYCOGENIC FUNCTION OF THE LIVER.
Reference : 48830
(1850)
Sur une nouvelle fonction du foie chez l'homme et les animaux. (Extrait par l'auteur).
(Paris, Bachelier),1850. 4to. No wrappers. In: ""Comptes Rendus Hebdomadaires des Séances de L'Academie des Sciences"", Tome XXXI, No. 17. With titlepage to vol. 31. Pp. (561-) 592. (Entire issue offered). Bernard's paper: pp. 571-574. Titlepage with a faint stamp to top and a stamp in lower margin.
First appearance of the first exposition of the glycogenic function of the liver - one of the greatest physiological discoveries of the 19th century. Bernard showed that the liver builds up complex substances, including glycogen, from the nutriment brought to it by the blood and that these are subsequently modified for distribution to the body.Dibner ""Heralds of Science"" No 131 - Horblit ""One Hundred Books famous in Science"" No. 11a, here listing ""Nouvelle Fonction du Foie"" from 1853 but with the remark ""The work appeared earlier in abbreviated form in the ""Comptes rendus"" (the paper offered). - Exhibition of First Editions of Epochal Achievements in the History of Science, Berkeley 1934.

Mémoire sur le pancréas et sur le role du suc pancréatique dans les phénomènes digestifs, particulièrement dans la digestion des matières grasses neutres.
(Paris, Mallet-Bachelier), 1856. 4to. No wrappers. In: ""Supplément aux Comptes rendus hebdomadaires des séances de l’Académie des sciences"", Tome Premier. With half-title and title-page to Tome I. Pp. 379-563 and 9 engraved plates (4 handcoloured). A punched stamp to lower margin of title-page. Clean and fine.
First printing of this celebrated memoir in which Bernard describes his importent invesigations on the function of the liver, the pancreas and the pancreatic juices.""In 1846 Bernard began studying the pancreatic juices and their role in digestion,.... By observing the processes of digestion in dogs and rabbits, and by experimentation with pure pancreatic juices collected from temporary pancreatic fistulae, Bernard was able to show that pancreatic juices made fats absorbable by breaking them down into fatty acids and glycerine. In 1856 he published his most complete statement of the function of the pancreas, ""Mémoire sur le pancréas et sur le role du suc pancréatique dans les phénomènes digestifs, particulièrement dans la digestion des matières grasses neutres."" This appered in Volume I of the supplement to the ""Comptes rendus hebdomadaires des séances de l’Académie des sciences"", and it was also published as a separate edition in book form.""(Norman p. 247).Norman ""One Hundred Books Famous in Medicine"", No 67 B. -

(DSB II, p.49 s).""During the last quarter of the seventeenth century and the beginning of the eighteenth centuries a rapid development of the infinitesimal calculus took place. Started on the Continent by Leibnitz...it progresssed principally by the work of Jacob and John Bernoulli. In trying to expand the field of application of this new mathematical tool, they discussed several examples from mechanics and physics. One such example treated by Jacob Bernouilli..concerned the shape of the deflection curve of an elastic bar and in this way he began an importent chapter inthe mechanics of elastic bodies.""(Timoshenko ""History of Strenght of Materials"" p. 25-26).

First edition of these prize winning papers by father (Jean) and son (Daniel). - Both papers deals with the cause of the inclination of the planetary orbits relative to the solar equator. - In Daniel's paper he put foreward the hypothesis of the existence of an atmosphere, resempling air, and rotating around the solar axis, resulting in an increasing inclination of the planetary orbits toward the equator of the sun. Daniel was the first importent Newtonian outside Great Britain. The problems faced here (by Daniel) are treated in Newtonian manner.The publication of these papers by father and son resulted in a controversy between the two, forcing Daniel to leave his fathers house. - Poggendorff I:161.
Méthode pour trouver les Tautochrones, dans des Milieux résistants, comme le Quarré des Vitesses.
(Paris, L'Imprimerie Royale, 1732). 4to. Without wrappers. Extracted from ""Mémoires de l'Academie des Sciences. Année 1730"". Pp. 78-101.
First printing of Johann Bernoulli's importent paper in which he for the first time (Euler did it at the same time) solved the problem of finding the tautochrone in a medium that resists a body's motion directly as the square of the body's speed.After Huygens first discovered that the cylcoid was a tautochronous curve in vacuo according to the hypothesis of uniform gravity" Newton and Hermann have also given tautochrones following the hypothesis of non-uniform gravity acting, and pulling towards some fixed point as centre. Moreover, they have considered the motion to arise in a vacuum, with no resistance. Truly pertaining to resisting media, Newton has also shown that the cycloid is a tautochrone in a medium for which the resistance is proportional tothe speed moreover, as far as any other kinds resisting media are concerned, there has been no progress made either in roducing the curves themselves or in demonstrating possible tautochronism in them [The 3rd edition of the Principia that Euler refers to finally in 35 alters this view to include the type of resistance offered here. It may be of interest to the reader to observe that Johan. Bernoulli published a paper in the Memoire de l'Acad. Roy. des Sciences in 1730, also present in his Opera Omnia, T. III, p.173, with the title (in tra. from French): Method for Finding Tautochrones in Media Resisting as the Square of the Speed in which Euler does not get a mention.].

Quantal phase factors accompanying adiabatic changes.
London, Royal Society, 1984. Royal8vo. Full buckram, gilt lettering to spine.In: ""Proceedings of the Royal Society of London"", Series A, vol. 392. IV,478 pp. (Entire volume offered). Berry's paper: pp. 45-57. Clean and fine.
First printing of the paper in which Berry describes his discovery of the ""Berry phase"", a unifying concept in quantum mechanics.""In 1983, Berry made the surprising discovery that a quantum system adiabatically transported round a closed circuit in the space of external parameters acquires, besides the familiar dynamical phase, a non-integrable phase depending only on the geometry of the circuit. This Berry phase, which had been overlooked for more than half a century, provides us a very deep insight on the geometric structure of quantum mechanics and gives rise to various observable effects. The concept of the Berry phase has now become a central unifying concept in quantum mechanics, with applications in fields ranging from chemistry to condensed matter physics. In particular, the Berry phase plays an important role in modern magnetism, an allows to reach a deeper understanding of a broad range of phenomena such as the spin-orbit coupling, the Aharonov-Bohm effect, the quantum Hall effect, the anomalous Hall effect, the magnon dynamics, the tunneling of magnetization in molecular magnets, etc. Further, in the light of the Berry phase, a number of new phenomena can be predicted in ferromagnets with a textured magnetization or in semiconductors with spin-orbit coupling.""

Silver-Stained Roundels and Unipartite Panels before the French Revolution Flanders, Vol. 2: The Provinces of East and West Flanders
, Brepols Publishers, 2011 Hardcover, XIV 631 pages., 300 b/w ill. 900 colour ill., 230 x 315 mm, English. ISBN 9781905375318.
This checklist is the second in a series of volumes describing the silver-stained glass roundels and unipartite panels from the Middle Ages to the 18th century found in public buildings, museums and private collections in the present five provinces of Flanders (Belgium). It also includes documented roundels and unipartite panels whose whereabouts are presently unknown and those which have been removed to other locations or collections in the past. The checklist also mentions all known related material. Where possible, photographs of this material have been added. As far as the related material is concerned, the relevant publications are also mentioned. This material includes models, drawings, engravings, and roundels which belong either to the same series or to those which are copies of these series. The present volume covers the Provinces of East and West Flanders (more or less the former County of Flanders). The first checklist, concerning the Province of Antwerp, was published in 2007. Additional volumes for the Provinces of Flemish Brabant and Limburg (Vol. 3), and the one with Addenda (Vol. 4) are in the planning stage. The former County of Flanders, with the cities of Bruges and Ghent, must once have displayed huge quantities of stained glass, which for the most part have been lost or relocated. The causes and reasons for this loss include natural calamities, fires, deliberate destruction and neglect. Most of the surviving roundels are now in foreign collections: on the continent; in Great Britain; or in the United States of America. It is worthy of note that great efforts have been made in the USA and Great Britain to compile and publish checklists of silver-stained roundels and other small panels, originating from the Low Countries, whilst here, where they were produced, this series is the first genuine overview that has ever been published. During the 15th and 16th centuries roundels and small panels played an important role as 'public relations' gifts among the upper classes, the church and its associated religious orders. As these gifts played a very significant role in social life, demand for these items was very high. It is clear that the manufacture of roundels and small panels was a substantial part of the earnings of these glass workshops, which also produced monumental windows. The most popular themes were predominantly religious, but also included heraldic, secular, mythological and allegorical subjects. The seasons and months and labours of the year were also commonly found. In the late 16th and the 17th centuries the range of iconographical subjects became more secular with, among other themes, representations of professions. Heraldry also remained very important, and in the second half of the 17th and the beginning of the 18th centuries nearly all roundels and panels depicted armorials and included the name of their donors.
