"Die zerstreuung von -strahlen."

1921S0038In:: Zeitschrift fur physik 6 1921. 1921. 231 x 160 mm. 8vo. pp. 204-212. Entire volume: iv 416 pp. 6 figs. 2 tables. Navy blue cloth gilt-stamped. Ex library Carnegie Institution of Washington Mount Wilson Observatory with call number gilt stamped on spine and library blind-stamp on front free end paper. Clean copy. FINE. RARE. FIRST EDITION. This is the first paper in the Zeitschrift fur physik in which Geiger and Bothe published the results of their collaboration which began in November 1913 at the Physikalisch-Technische Reichsanstalt in Berlin. In 1908 Geiger and Rutherford investigated the charge and nature of the particle. They devised an electrical technique in order to count the individual particles and compare results with those obtained by Erich Regener who used the scintillation technique. Their ionization chamber was a cylinder at low pressure with a thin wire stretched coaxially. The wall of the cylinder had an entrance window at one end and was at high negative potential to the wire. An particle entering parallel to the wire generated a secondary avalanche multiplying the primary ionization effect a thousandfold. The resulting voltage step on the central wire was measured by a sensitive electrometer. In October 1912 Geiger went to Berlin and continued experiments on the counting of particles. Varying the form and dimensions of the central electrode he found an arrangement which came to be known as the Spitzenzahler or "point counter" since "the whole working of the apparatus depends on the point of the needle." The great advantage of this device was that in addition to particles it could for the first time count particles as well as other types of radiation. Geiger became the editor of the Zeitschrift fur physik beginning in 1936. DSB V pp. 330-333. Zeitschrift fur physik, 6 (1921). hardcover books

WITH A FORE-EDGE PAINTING BY MS. C. B. CURRIE showing "a view of Harper's Ferry W. Virginia." "This is No. 145 of the Books with Fore-edge Paintings by Miss Currie. . . " Painted ca. 1928/9. See: Weber p. 341 #145 was previously unknown. Currie painted a scene of Harper's Ferry on the Life of John Brown See Weber A8 p. 348. SIGNED IN INK AT FOOT OF LIMITATION PAGE BY C. B. CURRIE. / In all about 172 Currie fore-edge painting were painted. Each is numbered in consecutive order with her known active period of painting fore-edges from c.1909/10-1929/33. All Currie fore-edge paintings are rare. / Miss Caroline Billin Curry aka "Miss. C.B. Currie" 1849-1940 was famous for painting both ivory miniatures and on fore-edge paintings exclusively for Sotheran's and strictly on Riviere bindings. Currie is important as being the only known artist to have signed all her work and numbered the pieces. She was highly touted in her lifetime as an artist who was singled-out for her skill and exquisite artistry that she thereby became the first artist so-named by Sotheran prominently in their catalogue series. Indeed she was a close associate and friend of the shop manager Mr. John Harrison Stonehouse and his wife Currie was named in their will. Even despite her prominence Currie's correct full name was a mystery until very recently. See Weber. This particular specimen was 1 previously unknown to myself 2 preserved the most-frequently missing chemise and 3 a clear provenance to this copy is noted the only one so located by myself. / PROVENANCE: Oddly this is the first known Currie fore-edge painting with provenance that is understood to be after the painting of the Harper's Ferry scene. The importance of that is the relationship of the ownership of a book to the date of the painting or otherwise owning a book before a fore-edge painting is applied to the book. In this case the ownership is surely after the work of Currie. Three persons' names are found in the volume: Joseph Sampsell Carr may have lived in Chicago Illinois. Margaret Rich Carr may have been Margaret Lee Smith Rich Carr 1917-1981 buried in Lubbock Lubbock County Texas. R. Joseph Rich may have been associated with Jefferson Medical College Hospital Philadelphia. REFERENCE: Jeff Weber Annotated Dictionary of Fore-edge Painting & Binders 2010.

Amica to a libretto by French publisher Paul de Choudens BÃ©rel was a pseudonym was first performed in Monte Carlo at the ThÃ©Ã¢tre du Casino on March 16 1905 and was an immediate success. The Italian premiere with an Italian libretto by Mascagni's close collaborator Giovanni Targioni-Tozzetti took place on May 13 1905 with Riccardo Stracciari 1875-1955 as Rinaldo. Mascagni conducted both performances. It was the composer's only opera with a French libretto. "Stracciari's mellow velvety voice coloured and resonant over its whole range with an extended and penetrating upper register made him between 1905 and 1915 the rival of Titta Ruffo and Pasquale Amato. His repertory included all the great baritone roles and among the dramatic parts he preferred those in Il trovatore Rigoletto and Aida. But thanks to a technique characteristic of the best traditions of the 19th century he excelled in works which allowed him to display his courtly enunciation smooth singing elegant phrasing and musical delicacy." Rodolfo Celletti in Grove Music Online. A notable association copy. Choudens [PN A.C. 13,315] unknown books
