The physical papers -- EDITION ORIGINALE
Baltimore, The Johns Hopkins Press, 1902; un fort volume in 8 relié pleine toile éditeur, 1 portrait, 11pp., 704pp., 1 planche non numérotée, 5 planches numérotées 1 à 5
---- EDITION ORIGINALE ---- "Rowland first major research was an investigation of the magnetic permeability of iron, steel and nickel... He had proves that - contrary to the assumption then common in the literature on ferromagnetism - magnetic permeability varied with the magnetizing force , H and, hence, with B. His work on the subject won the praise of Maxwell and established his reputation as one of the most promising young experimental physicist in the United States... In 1868, stimulated by his study of Faraday's Electrical researches, Rowland conceived an experiment to test whether the magnetic effect produced by electric current was the direct result of charge moving through space or of some interaction between the current and the conducting body... His experiment was the first, as Helmholtz reported to the Berlin Academy of Science, to demonstrate that the motion of charged bodies produced magnetic effects... In the late 1870's he established an authoritative figure for the absolute value of the ohm. At the opening of the 1880's, he painstakingly redetermined the mechanical equivalent of heat and conclusively showed that the specific heat of water varied with temperature... In the 1880's Rowland remapped the solar spectrum ; his wavelength tables, which were ten times more accurate than their best predecessors, became the standard for over a generation. At the Paris Exposition of 1890 his gratings and map of the solar spectrum received a gold medal and a grand prize... Rowland's published writings and addresses are in the Physical Papers of henry Augustus Rowland (Baltimore, 1902), which includes a biographical introduction by Thomas Corwin Mendenhall".

An Inquiry concerning the Weight ascribed to Heat. Read before the Royal Society May 2, 1799.
London, Davis, (1799-1800). 8vo. Contemp. blue boards. Titlelabel with gilt lettering. Spine slightly rubbed. In: ""The Philosophical Magazine. By Alexander Tilloch"", Vol. V. - VI,422,4 pp. and 7 engraved plates. (Entire voulume offered). Rumford's paper: pp. 162-174. (November 1799). Internally clean.
Rumford's paper was published the same year in ""Philosophical Transactions"". His experiments with heat tried to show that heat is not a material substance, are famous episodes in the history of physics as they gave the death blow to the so-called caloric theory of heat.The volume contains also WILLIAM HERSCHEL ""On the nature and Construction of the Sun and Fixed Stars"", pp. 114-123 a. 222-232, originally published in the ""Transactions"" in 1794.
An Account of a curious Phenomenon observed on the Glaciers of Chamouny" together with some occasional Observations concerning the Propagation of Heat in Fluids. Read December 15, 1803.
(London, W. Bulmer and Co., 1804). 4to. No wrappers as extracted from ""Philosophical Transactions"" 1804 - Part I. Pp. 23-29.
First printing of the paper in which Rumford describes the observations performed on an excursion together with Pictet to the Glaciers of Chamouny where they observed the Sea of Ice (Mer de Glace). Here, and before making ‘direct experiments’ Rumford observed the melting ice and commented: ""I have ascribed the melting of the ice below the surface of the ice-cold water to currents of water slightly warmer, and consequently slightly heavier, which descend from the surface to the bottom of the ice-cold water"".

An Enquiry concerning the Nature of Heat, and the Mode of its Communication. Read february 2, 1804.
(London, W. Bulmer and Co., 1804). 4to. No wrappers as extracted from ""Philosophical Transactions"" 1804 - Part I. Pp. 77-182 and 2 engraved plates (showing his experimental apparatus). First and last leaves with some faint browning and brownspots. The plates with some browspots, mainly to margins. Wide-margined.
First appearance of Rumford's second large paper on the mechanical equivalent of heat, in which he owerthrows the caloric theory. Rumford's early papers were importent steps towards the conception of the principle of the ""Conservation of Energy"" and the thermodynamical laws.""The importence of this investigation here entered into, - inasmuch as it applies to most of the operations of nature as well as art, - appears so manifest, that we shall not recapitulate what the author advances on the subject. before he proceeds to the details of his experiments for the purpose oof computing the emissions of heat from various bodies under a variety of circumstances, he finds it necessary to prmise a minute description of the principal part of the apparatus he contrived for the purpose...""(Abstract).In his famous paper of 1798 ""An Inquiry Concerning the Source of Heat Which is Exicited by Friction"" showed that heat is a form of motion and not a substance as it was seen in the 18th century.""He had been lead to the hypothesis that friction is an inexhaustable source of heat while considering the boring of a canon at Munich's military arsenal and had proceeded to experiment with brass guns at the arsenal. The experiments confirm the hypothesis, justifying his conclusion that heat is not a material substance as others had believed. He goeson to equate heat to motion.""(Parkinson in ""Breakthroughs"" 1798 P.)
