First apperance of these two groundbreaking papers constituting the famous ""Franck-Hertz Experiments"" giving the first experimental determination of Planck's constant not using blackbody radiation.""Thus, the experiments by Franck and hertz were later considered as a new and independent support not only of Planck's quantum theory and Einstein's light-quantum hypothesis, but also of Bohr's theory of the atom with sationary states of discrete energies. In 1926 Franck and Hertz were awardedthe Nobel prize for 1925.""(Siegmund Brandt ""The Harvest of a century"", Episode 25, p. 102).The Nobel Prize were given ""for their discovery of the laws governing the impact of an electron upon an atom"".

First appearance of both papers, one of them being the milestone paper in which Franklin describes his lightning experiment and proves what he had already conjectured, that lightening is an electrical discharge. Both of the present papers were to become part of his famous work ""Experiments and Observations on Electricity.."" assembled by his friend Peter Collinson, to whom the papers were addressed. The famous letter was also published in the ""Gentleman's Magazine"" for 1752.""Franklin was the first American scientist to achieve an international reputation, with his work on electricity... The most dramatic result of Franklin's researches was the proof that lightening is really an electrical phenomenon. Others had made such a suggestion before him - even Newton himself - but it was he who provided the experimental proof. In 1752 he flew a kite in a thunderstorm and attached a key to its string. From this he collected electrical charges in a Leiden jar and showed that atmospheric and frictional or machine-made electricity are the same. He went on to propose the fixing of iron rods at the top of buildings, masts of ships, etc., from which he conducted the electric charges they collected from lightening into the wet subsoil - the invention of the lightening conductor.""His reputation as a scientist was immediately established by the publication of the results of his researches in a series of letters addressed to Peter Collinson, a London merchant and naturalist, in 1751"" and the Experiments and Observations [ which collected all the Collinson letters not just those offered here ] remains the most important scientific book of eighteenth-century America."" (PMM 199).""Later, Franklin devised a second experiment to test the electrification of clouds (the first was the sentry-box experiment), one which has become more popularly known: the lightning kite. Franklin reported his experiments to Collison in a letter of October 1752 (the paper offered), written after Franklin had read ""in the public papers from Europe, of the success of the Philadelphia -Experiment for drawing the electric fire from clouds by means of pointed rods of iron erected on high buildings..."" Actually, Franklin appears to have flown his electrical kite prior to having learned of Dalibard's successful execution of the sentry-box experiment. The KITE LETTER, published in the ""Philosophical Transactions"", referred to the erection of lighetning rods on public buildings in Philadelphia. The lightening experiment caused Franklin's name to become known throughout Europe to the public at large and not merely to men of science. Joseph Priestly, in his ""History...of Electricity"", characterized the experimental discovery that the lightening discharge is an electrical phenomenon as ""THE GREATEST, PERHAPS, SINCE THE TIME OF NEWTON"".....the discoveries made in the summer of 1752 will make it memorable in the history of electricity,"" William Watson wrote in 1753. ""These have opened a new field to philosophers, and have given them room to hope, that what they have learned before in their museums, they may apply, with more propriety than they have hitherto could have done, in illustrating the nature and effects of thunder"" a phenomenon hitherto almost inaccessible to their inquiries.""(DSB V, pp. 134-35).The volume offered contains a series of other notable papers: T. Simpson (mathematics), Thomas Debenham (medicine), James Parsons (Phocae Marinae, the long-necked seal), W. Watson (the sex of flowers), Francis Blake (steem-engine), William Watson (An Account of Mr. Benjamin Franklin's Treatise, lately published, Experiments and Observations on Electricity...""pp. 202-211),Dunthorne (on comets), William Watson (""An Account of the Phaenomena of Electricity in vacuo"", pp. 362-376), J. Smeaton (Air-pump), Richard Brooke (surgery), Abbe Nollet (electricity from the clouds), W. Watson (electrical experiments in England upon Thunder-Clouds), etc. etc.

First appearance of this paper in which he outlines three experiments in electric conductivity: 1. Electrical atmospheres, that flow around non-electric bodies, do not readily mix and unite into one atmosphere. 2. An electrical atmosphere, not only repels another electric atmosphere, but will also repel the electric matter contained in the substance of a body approaching it. 3. Bodies electrified negatively or deprived of their natural quantity of electricity, repel each other.

First appearance of Timothy Lane's description of his discharging electrometer. He used it to determine the charge given to a Leyden jar by counting the number of sparks it received from the electrometer set at a constant gap. The instrument became popular in electrotherapy and was used to limit the power of the electrical discharge. (Heilbron, Electricity in the 17th & 18th Centuries).

First edition of this importent paper where Fraunhofer analyzed diffration phenomena and interpretet them in terms of a wave theory of light, leading him to formulate the GRATING EQUATION. - ""In the paper in 1823, Fraunhofer revealed his continued invstigation of diffraction gratings. Using a diamont point, he could rule up to 3,200 lines per Parish inch. He continued his study of the effect of oblique reays, developed formulations based on the wave conception, and calculated a revised set of wavelenghts for the major spectral lines. Thus, his earlier observations of the dark lines in the solar spectrum enabled him to make the highly precise measurements of dispersions"" then his ude of the wave theory of light allowed him to derive, with suitable simplifications, the general formulation of the grating equation still in use today.""
