The entire issue offered. Henry's paper: pp. 282-312. <br/><br/><em>First German version of Henry's description of his discovery of self-induction. He missed the credit for the discovery of induction to Faraday but he had done the key experiment ahead of Faraday but Faraday was the first to publish. But he is credited for the discovery of self-induction 1832 and Faraday discovered it independently two years later 1834."In Henry's paper however he explained thet the electric current in a coil can induce another current not only in another coil but in itself. The actual current observed in the coil is then the combination of the original current and the induced current. This is called self induction."Isac Asimov.The issue contains further notable papers Michael Faraday's "Vierzehnte Reihe von Experimental-Untersuchungen über Elektricität" § 2o-22. Nos 1667-1748. Pp. 249-281. First German version. In this paper FARADAYamplifies his theory of electrostatic induction by making further use of the analogy with the induction of magnetism. Whittaker describes the paper as having "THE FUNDAMENTAL EQUATION OF ELECTROSTATICS" as modified in order to take into account the effect of the specific inductive capacity."Whittaker I pp.187-89. </em> unknown

Pp. 257-291 a. 1 folded engraved plate showing the experimental apparatus used. <br/><br/><em>First appearance in German of this extremely important paper in which Gay-Lussac first formulated the law the Gay-Lussac's Law stating that if the mass and pressure of a gas are held constant then gas volume increases linearly as the temperature rises. This is sometimes written as V = k T where k is a constant dependent on the type mass and pressure of the gas and T is temperature on an absolute scale. In terms of the ideal gas law k = n R / P."In 1802 he Gay-Lussac showed that different gases all expanded by equal amounts with rise in temperature. Charles had made the same discovery some years earlier but had not published it; the credit therefore belongs to Gay-Lussac at least as much and probably more. This was an extremely importent discovery which Avogadro was to use within the decade to formulate hid long-neglected hypothesis that equal volumes of different gases at equal temperatures contained equal numbers of particles."Asimov.Magie "A Source Book in Physics" p.165-172 - Leicester & Klickstein "A Source Book of Chemistry" p. 374-379. - Parkinson "Breakthroughs" 1802 C. </em> unknown

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. </em> hardcover

Davy's paper: pp. 189-254. <br/><br/><em>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.
