---- EDITION ORIGINALE ---- TRES BEL EXEMPLAIRE ---- "G. Lamé, (1795/1870), was elected professor of physics at the Polytechnic school in 1832. Subsequently he held various engineering posts and professorships in Paris. As engineer he took an active part in the construction of the first railroads in France. Lamé devoted his fine mathematical talents mainly to mathematical physics. In four works : Leçons sur les fonctions inverses des transcendantes et les surfaces isothermes, Sur les coordonnées curvilignes et leurs diverses applications, Sur la théorie analytique de la chaleur, Sur la théorie mathématique de l'élasticité des corps solides and in various memoirs he displays fine analytical powers... His work Examen des différentes méthodes employées pour résoudre les problèmes de géométrie contained a new method for calculating the angles between faces and edges of crystals".

First printing of Lanczos exceelingly important paper in which he discovered an exact solution of the Einstein field equation which represents a cylindrically symmetric rigidly rotating configuration of dust particles. This was later rediscovered by Willem Jacob van Stockum and is known today as the van Stockum dust. It is one of the simplest known exact solutions in general relativity and regarded as an important example, in part because it exhibits closed timelike curves. Lanczos served as assistant to Albert Einstein during the period of 1928-29.

First printing of Landau and Peierls's important paper in the development of quantum field theory. The present paper became seminal for Bohr and Rosenfeld's 1933 paper which is often credited with having laid the foundation for quantum electrodynamics.Landau and Peierls published a critical analysis of the consequences of such limitations in a relativistic quantum theory of fields (second paper offered). Landau and Peierls came to the negative conclusion that in several cases, the concept of momentum was without physical meaning and quantities such as the strength of a field was un-measurable.

""Landau and Peierls argued that field measurements could not be performed unambiguously and hence that current quantum electrodynamics was inconsistent.

At the end a comprehensive catalogue of European buildings on which lightning rods were installed: ""Catalogo dei Conduttori Elettrice"".""Landriani's name is repeatedly linked to Volta's inventions (from the electrophorus to the pile) and especially to the eudiometer. The term (derived from the Greek ""eudia"" (""fair weather"") was first used by Landriani in the ""Recherche"" to indicate the instrument he had devised to measure the purity of the air.....Volta transformed the instrument, assigning it new tasks. In 1777 the eudiomter entered the history of science as a valued instrument for the analyzing of gases."" (DSB VII, 620-21).Wheeler Gift No. 523.
