180950198Paris Mad. Ve Barnard 1809. Contemp. hcalf. Spine gilt. Wear to top of spine. A few scratches to binding. Small stamps on verso of titlepage.In: "Annales de Chimie ou Recueil de Mémoires concernant la Chemie" Tome 70. 336 pp. Entire volume offered. Davy's paper: pp. 189-254. First edition in French the first English 1808 of this importent historical paper in chemistry in which Davy shows that electricity is capable of decomposing some alkalies isolating two new substances and discovering potassium and sodium. Neville in his Historical Chemical Library vol. I p.340 writes about this paper "ONE OF THE GREAT CLASSIC RESEARCHES IN CHEMISTRY in which Davy announced in this his second Bakterian lecture the isloation of metallic potassium and sodium by the electrolytic decomposition of their fused oxides.""He Davy began his own electrical experiments.The results were spectacular. On October 6 1807 the current passing through molten potash liberated a metal which Davy called potassium. The little globules of shining metal tore the water molecule apart as it eagerly recombined with oxygen and the liberated hydrogen burst into lavender flame. Davy danced about in a delirium of joy. A week later he isolated sodium from soda."Asimow. The paper offered here describes these discoveries."Humphry Davy was one of the most brilliant chemists of the early nineteenth century. His early study of nitrous oxide brought him his first reputation but his later and most importent investigations were devoted to electrochemistry. Following Galvani's experiments and the discovery of the voltaic pile interest in galvanic electricity had become widespread. The first electrolysis by means of the pile was carried out in 1800 by Nicholson and Carisle who obtained oxygen and hydrogen from water. Davy began to examine the chemical effects of electricity in 1800 and his numerous discoveries were presented in his Bakerian lecture to the Royal Society on November 20 1806.

FARADAY, MICHAEL - THE "LAW OF ELECTRO-CHEMICAL EQUIVALENTS", THE GERMAN VERSIONBiblio.com

Sechste Reihe von Experimental-Untersuchungen über Elektricität. 564-660 Siebente Reihe von Experimental-Untersuchungen über Elektricität. 661-874

183449065Leipzig Barth 1834. Contemp. hcalf. raised bands spine gilt. Spine with light wear. in. "Annalen der Physik und Chemie. J.C. Poggendorff" Zweite reine 3. bd.VIII5584 pp. and 5 plates. Entire volume offerd. Faradays papers: pp. 149-189 Sixth series pp. 301-331 a. 481-520 Seventh series. Internally clean and fine printed on good paper. First appearance in German - prepared by Faraday himself for publication in Annalen - of 2 historical papers in chemistry and physiscs in which Faraday in the first detects a new recombination-effect in electrolysis and in the second we have the MILESTONE PAPER in which Faraday announces the discoveries of further laws of electrochemistry stating the general relations of electricity to chemistry and introducing new terms with precise meanings. The first part of the paper introduces his new terminology giving the words a limited and precise meaning. These words devised with the assistance of William Whewell are now familiar to all chemists electrode anode cathode ion anion and cation. He also introduces the "Volta-electrometer" and arrives at the "Law of electro-chemical equivalents". The paper offered is one of Farday's most famous papers."Another section of the paper is devoted to a closer examination of the law of constant electrochemical action with respect to water and to the development of a gas electrometer to measure quantities of electricity. Faraday's "Volta-electrometer" provided the first practical means for the quantitative measurement of electricity." Source Book in Chemistry p. 280-81.The Sixth series: "In the course of his experimental investigations of a general and importent law of electro-chemical action which required the accurate measurement of thegases evolved during the decomposition of water and other substances the author was lead to the detection of a curious effect which had never been previously noticed and of which the knowledge had he before possessed it would have prevented many of the errors and inconsistencies occurring in the conclusions he at first deduced from his earlier experiments. The phenomena observed was the gradual recombination of elements which had been previously separated from each other by voltaic action. This happened when after water had been decomposed by voltaic electricity the mixed gases resulting from such decomposition were left in contact with the platina wires or plates which had acted as poles; for under these circumstances they gradually diminished in vo.umes water was reprioduced and at lust the whole of the gases disappeared."Abstract - Faraday explains the causes of this recombination. hardcover

THE HOLY BIBLE CONTAINING THE OLD AND NEW TESTAMENTS Translated out of the Original Tongues: Being the Version Set forth A.D. 1611 Compared with the Most Ancient Authorities and Revised

1885505253Cambridge at the University Press 1885. First Edition. Leather. VERY GOOD. First Edition First Printing of the complete one-volume Revised Version of the Bible preceded only by the 5 volume 'Presentation Edition' of the American Committee with matching fine binding published simultaneously with two larger formats. x 696 xv 204 pp; 8 15 engraved color maps Indexed Atlas to the Holy Bible. 8vo 20.5 x 13.5 cm bound in a fine-grained leather over boards with 5 raised bands both covers and spine ruled in blind with gilt stamped spine lettering gilt ruled turn-ins 'Sewn with Silk' with reinforced inges; all edges art gilt marbled endpapers purple place ribbon; printed with Minion font in dual colums with marginal references. Some trivial wear to the extremities family tree in pen to flyleaf;some notes on prophecy related to WWII in a neat miniscule hand to FFEP verso and some erasable pencil notes to rear flyleaf; otherwise a sound and handsome binding with clean fresh text. A copublication between the two royal-privileged printers Oxford and Cambridge though printed solely by C.J. Clay at Cambridge. The Revised Version was the product of over a decade of British and American collaborative work co-financed by Oxford and Cambridge in exchange for exclusive co-copyright on the text. Received with great acclaim and criticism it shot Oxford's number of Bibles printed per-annum over 2 million for the first time. The RV committee was a spectacular assembly of scholarly prowess who made enthusiastic use of the most recent scholarship including the new critical Greek text of Westcott and Hort. Conspicuously absent from the committee were the more literary voices of King James's translators and the somewhat wooden style of the RV suffers for it though exegetes have prized it for exactly the same reason. A surprising inclusion in this royally-convened committe was a large team of Americans: 'In every instance the suggestions from America were treated with the same consideration as those proceeding from members of the English Company and were adopted or rejected on their merits. It was a part of the terms of agreement with the American Company that all points of ultimate difference between them and the English Revisers should be placed on record found in the appendix . Many of them will be found to be changes of language which are involved in the essentially different circumstances of American and English readers; others express a preference for the marginal rendering; others again involve a real difference of opinion; but all shew that they have been dictated by the same leading principle the sincere desire to give to modern readers a faithful representation of the meaning of the original documents.' from the Preface Darlow & Moule 2041; Simon Eliot The History of Oxford University Press Vol. II.
