First printing. Marcet undertook some of the first measurements of the concentration of different salts in sea water. He was an early marine chemist and a allround scientist and performed some of the first measures of the concentrations of the major salts in sea water. He found that all sea water contains the same salts in nearly the same concentrations. He invented the ""Sampling Bottle""

(London, George Bell and Sons), 1901. 8vo. Without wrappers. Extracted from ""Journal of the Society of Art. No. 2,530, Vol. XLIX, May 17, 1901). A clean copy. [Marconi:] Pp. 505-520 + 17 figures illustrating the paper.
First publication of this early and important paper preceding, by just a few months, Marconi's first weak signals received across an ocean. The paper present a description of the experimental process to developing tuning or syntonising the wireless system. He shared the 1909 Nobel Prize in Physics with Karl Ferdinand Braun ""in recognition of their contributions to the development of wireless telegraphy"" and was ennobled in 1924 as Marchese Marconi.""Marconi, who was anxious to forestall any competitors, sailed for Newfoundland where, using a kiteborne antenna and Solari's carbon-on-stell detector with a telephone receiver, on 12 December he received the first transatlantic wireless communication, the three code dots signifying the letter ""S."" Already well known, Marconi, at twenty-seven, became world famous overnight."" (DSB). If Marconi felt he needed more publicity, he certainly got it in 1912: The two radio operators aboard the Titanic - Jack Phillips and Harold Bride - were not employed by the White Star Line, who ran the Titanic, but by the Marconi International Marine Communication Company. Britain's postmaster-general summed up, referring to the Titanic disaster, ""Those who have been saved, have been saved through one man, Mr. Marconi...and his marvelous invention."".

First printing of the main papers CONSTITUTING THE INVENTION OF MODERN CINEMATOGRAPHY -- from his invention of 1888 of the ""Chronophotograph"" followed the modern ""Cinematograph"" (first described here in the offered papers of 1888).It started with his invention of the chronographic apparatus with stationary plates and chronographic disk schutter... the paper of August 7, 1882, later in 1882 his description of the photographic gun, and in the 1892 paper ""Marey constructs, according to the reversible principle of the chronophotograph, an apparatus for the projection on a screen of series of pictures taken by the afore-mentioned apparatus and thus realizes the photographic synthesis of motion"" (Joseph Maria Eder ""History of Photography"", p.510).Marey (1830-1904) was a French physician, and his inventions sprang from his investigations in the physiology of the motion of men and animals.""In 1882, Marey, often claimed to be the 'inventor of cinema,' constructed a camera (or ""photographic gun"") that could take multiple (12) photographs per second of moving animals or humans - called chronophotography or serial photography, similar to Muybridge's work on taking multiple exposed images of running horses. [The term shooting a film was possibly derived from Marey's invention.] He was able to record multiple images of a subject's movement on the same camera plate, rather than the individual images Muybridge had produced. Marey's chronophotographs (multiple exposures on single glass plates and on strips of sensitized paper - celluloid film - that passed automatically through a camera of his own design) were revolutionary. He was soon able to achieve a frame rate of 30 images. Further experimentation was conducted by French-born Louis Aime Augustin Le Prince in 1888. Le Prince used long rolls of paper covered with photographic emulsion for a camera that he devised and patented. Two short fragments survive of his early motion picture film (one of which was titled Traffic Crossing Leeds Bridge).The work of Muybridge, Marey and Le Prince laid the groundwork for the development of motion picture cameras, projectors and transparent celluloid film - hence the development of cinema. American inventor George Eastman, who had first manufactured photographic dry plates in 1878, provided a more stable type of celluloid film with his concurrent developments in 1888 of sensitized paper roll photographic film (instead of glass plates) and a convenient ""Kodak"" small box camera (a still camera) that used the roll film. He improved upon the paper roll film with another invention in 1889 - perforated celluloid (synthetic plastic material coated with gelatin) roll-film with photographic emulsion.""
