‎First edition of Henry's importent paper in which he described the function and construction of the Albany-Magnet, probably the most powerfull magnet ever constructed (at the time).From his ""experiments Henry discovered that if a cell of a single pair of electrodes is to be used with a given magnet, the magnet should be wound with several coils of wire in parallel"" on the other hand, if a battery of many cells is to be used, the magnet winding should form a single long wire. Henry was the first person to understand this idea. It later became a fundamental basis for much of electrical technology, and, in particular, made Samuel F. B. Morse's telegraph feasible.Applying this principle (together with the valuable but less easily described practical skill in magnet-making he had acquired in the course of his experiments), Henry, with the assistance of a colleague, Philip Ten Eyck, went on to build a 21-pound ""experimental magnet on a large scale."" With a modest battery, this ""Albany magnet"" supported 750 pounds, making it, Henry claimed, ""probably, therefore, the most powerful magnet ever constructed."" Quickly he wrote a paper describing these experiments and his magnet-winding principle, and sent it off to Benjamin Silliman, Professor of Chemistry and Natural History at Yale College and editor of the American Journal of Science, a widely read and influential publication. Silliman readily accepted what he called Henry's ""highly important & interesting paper"" and published it in the issue of January, 1831 (the paper offered)."" (Roger Sherman).‎

(Jamie Wisniak).""Having published a preliminary notice of his theory in the Annals of Philosophy in 1816, Herapath submitted a detailed account to the Royal Society in 1820. Davy, who was elected to the presidency of the Society in November of that year, was primarily responsible for the fate of the paper. Although Davy was already known as an advocate of the qualitative idea that heat is molecular motion, he found Herapath’s quantitative development too speculative and complicated"" he rejected the hypothesis of an absolute temperature implying an ""absolute zero"" of cold. Having been told that his paper would not be accepted for publication in the Philosophical Transactions, Herapath withdrew it and published it instead in the Annals of Philosophy in 1821. Five years later he launched an attack on Davy in the Times of London, accusing him of circulating unfounded criticisms of his experimental work, which prevented its publication. Although Davy ignored a series of letters and challenges published in the Times, Herapath later claimed Davy’s resignation from the presidency of the Royal Society (1827) as a victory for himself.""(DSB).‎

‎First printing of Hermann's publication on the historical development and foundation of physics. Today she if famous for her pioneering work with respect to the interpretation of quantum theory, the present paper being her most extensive on the philosophical aspects of the development of research in physics.Attempts to interpret and understand what was then new and very puzzling physics were of great contemporary importance when Grete Hermann entered the field, and her work in physics was mainly related to the interpretation of quantum mechanics. More specifically, her main work in physics was on the philosophical foundations of quantum mechanics, the significance of modern physics for the theory of knowledge, and causality in physics. She was one of the active early contributors to the historic debates on causality in quantum mechanics, and on the completeness of quantum mechanics and its description of reality.Hermann's work during the 1930s reveals the influence of her background in the neo-Kantian school, yet it also owes much to the way in which Heisenberg and Weizsäcker had interpreted Bohr's doctrine of the indispensability of classical concepts in the description of experience.Heisenberg has written that Grete Hermann came to Leipzig for the purpose of challenging the philosophical basis of atomic physics. Heisenberg devoted an entire chapter of his book ""Physics and Beyond: Encounters and Conversations"" to a reconstruction of discussions that he had on quantum mechanics and Kantian philosophy with Grete Hermann and Carl Friedrich von Weizsäcker.‎

Titlepage + 80 leaves (title unnumb. + F 1-80 with 4 leaves misnumb., e.g. F70 instead of 80). The dedicationleaf (unnumb.) after title missing. Text complete, fine and clean with broad margins. One large initial in woodcut and 89 large textillustrations in woodcut.‎

‎First edition of Heron's main work, being his first publication. The work stimulated and contributed substantially to the interest in pneumatics that arose suddenly in the late 16th century and led to the work of Toricelli and Boyle. The ""Pneumatics"" was not published in Greek until 1693. It is one of the major sources to our knowledge of the techniques and mechanics of Antiquity, and the many hydraulic and mechanical inventions by Hero are here depicted for the first time in print. The work includes studies of pneumatics and mechanics and include 89 illustrations of different inventions, such as siphons, fountains, engines, an account of a small stationary steam-engine (which is of the form now known as Avery's patent, the double-force pump etc., which ""by the union of (compressed) air, earth, fire, and water, and the concurrence of...elementary principles..., supply the most pressing wants of the human life, (or) produce amazement and alarm."" The book describes many gadgets and magical tricks and includes the first suggestion of a steam engine (see f. 52). - Sarton, Introduction...Vol. I pp. 208 ff. - Adams H:369 - Poggendorff I: 1084.‎

The driving power in both cases was a heavy lead witht resting on a heap of millet grans which escaped through a hole. The weight was attached by a rope to an axle, and the turning of this axle brought about all the movements by means of strings and drums. Strins and drums constituted practically all the machinery ; no springs or cogwheels were used. It represents A MARVEL OF INGENUITY with very scant mechanical means".
