‎Ueber Hrn. Brewster's neue Analyse des Sonnenlichts.‎

‎Leipzig, Johann Ambrosius Barth, 1852. Without wrappers as issued in ""Annalen der Physik und Chemie. Hrsg.von Poggendorff"", Dritte Reihe Bd. 26, Achtes Stück.(= Heft No. 8 of 1852). (The entire issue (No. 8) offered). Titlepage to vol. 26. Pp. 501-600. Helmholtz's paper: pp. 501-523. Clean and fine.‎

‎First appearance of this founding paper in the modern theory of colour, in which Helmholtz proved the surprising fact that there are only two among the colours of the spectrum, yellow and indigo-blue, which together yields pure white, that is, are complementary to each other, whereas their combination had always been supposed to produce green.""Helmholtz turned to the intricate problems of color vision in 1852 with an attack on Sir David Brewster's new theory of light. Brewster had maintained the objective reality of three primary colors by supposing, in opposition to Newton, that there exist three distinct kinds of light, each of which excites in the eye one of the sensations red, yellow, or blue. Helmholtz regarded the theory as still another confusion of physical stimulus and subjective responce....He also revived Young's theory of color visoin...only to refute it. He had discovered that spectral colors, when mixed, always yield a duller color of less-than-spectral saturation. Therefore the whole idea that all colors may be obtained from mixtures of three primary colors must be incorrect, he concluded, for the spectral colorss, at least, can never be obtained in their full saturation by mixing any three of their number....Although Helmholtz dismissed Young's theory in 1852, by 1858 he had changed his mind and become its formost advocate. In order to save Ypoung's theory....Helmholtz asumed that Young's physiological primaries are not spectral colors att all, but colors of far greater-than-spectral saturation...""(DSB VI, pp. 246-247).

‎First printing of these contoversial papers where Herapath revived the kinetic theory of gases. His theory was more or less neglected by the scientific community at his time. The kinetic theory remained dormant and forgotten after Euler's and Bernouilli's work ""until 1816, when Herapath proposed a theory which is essential Bernoulli's. Unfortunately he chose to define temperature as being proportional to the momentum rather than the kinetic energy of molecules. Herapath was the first to show, more or less, that kinetic theory can provide simple explanations for the changes of state, diffusion, and the propagation of sound.""(Trousdell ""Essayas in the History of Mechanics"", pp. 283 ff.).‎

(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 Hermite's importent paper in which he created the theory of transformations.""Another topic on which Hermite worked and made important contributions was the theory of quadratic forms. This led him to study invariant theory and he found a reciprocity law relating to binary forms. With his understanding of quadratic forms and invariant theory he created a theory of transformations in 1855. His results on this topic provided connections between number theory, theta functions, and the transformations of abelian functions.""""Hermite’s 1855 results became basic for the transformation theory of Abelian functions as well as for Camille Jordan’s theory of ""Abelian"" groups. They also led to Herrnite’s own theory of the fifth-degree equation and of the modular equations of elliptic functions.""(DSB).‎

‎Lettre autographe signée au botaniste Eugène Bourgeau, en français‎

‎Hewett Cottrell Watson (1804-1881), botaniste anglais, partisan de la théorie de l'évolution. L.A.S., Thames Ditton (Angleterre), 26 décembre 1849, 1p in-4. Au botaniste français Eugène Bourgeau (1813-1877). Lettre en français, retranscrite avec les petites erreurs de Watson qui s'en excuse en fin de lettre : « Monsieur ! Ayez la bonté d'envoyer le paquet de vos plantes espagnoles par chemin de fer, adressé à moi dans la manière indiquée ci-dessus. Ajoutez sur la suscription ces mots "Botanical Specimens". Sir William Hooker souhaite que vous envoyez aussi son paquet de vos plantes ensemble avec le mien. Envoyez-vous un paquet de mêmes plantes à M. C. Lemann de Londres ? Ainsi, les trois paquets peuvent venir ensemble dans une boite. Pouvez-vous expliquer de quelle manière vous préférerez de recevoir de l'argent pour payement ? M. Kralik (rue d'Enfer N°45) m'envoyera un paquet des plantes de Corse dans le janvier. Voulez-vous avoir la bonté d'aller chez lui, et de demander si il puisse envoyer son paquet ensemble avec les vos dans une boite. Rarement j'essaie écrire votre langue. Pardonnez toutes les erreurs, je vous prie. Et recevez l'assurance, Monsieur, des mes respects &c. Hewett C. Watson ». La lettre mentionne donc William Jackson Hooker (1785-1865), Charles Morgan Lemann (1806-1852), autres botanistes anglais et Jean-Louis Kralik (1813-1892), autre botaniste français. Petit manque de papier mangeant une lettre, dû au cachet qui fermait le courrier. Beau courrier, rare lettre en français. [133] ‎
