Corner chip to front free endpaper else a tight clean copy just lightly soiled on boards; Very Good or better. One of many contemporary "reply novels" to Bellamy's best-selling 1888 utopia Looking Backward this one intended as a literal sequel in which the further adventures of Bellamy's protagonist Julian West are presented. Perhaps of greater interest is the novel printing method used by the publisher for this edition with the page margins tinted yellow throughout to "reduce eye strain." An explanatory note from the publisher requesting readers to "report to us the effect that the colored margin has had upon their eyes" is tipped in following the title page. The book was also issued with green- and blue-tinted margins in varying cloth bindings to match to suit the preferences of different readers. SARGENT p.104. NEGLEY 1006. LEWIS p.173.

Blind-stamps of the Carnegie Institution of Washington Mount Wilson Observatory. FINE. FIRST EDITION. In this joint paper by the veteran investigator Orntsein and the junior faculty member Kramers on atomic theory the authors investigated how the classical collision formula in the kinetic-theory of gases has to be modified in order that the molecules shall be distributed according to the Fermi-law. In 1914 Leonard Ornstein succeeded Peter Debye as the chair of theoretical physics at the University of Utrecht. Later Ornstein became director of the physical institute there in 1925. As director of the Institute Ornstein's work shifted decisively into experiments and his organizational talent began to unfold. In the preceding dozen years Ornstein had published about fifty papers; in the following twenty years over two hundred bore his own name and almost five hundred additional papers were published from his institute which underwent three substantial enlargements in this period. See: DSB X pp. 235-236. L. S. At the time that Ornstein became director of the institute Kramers was appointed to the faculty of the University of Utrecht and had an office at the Institute.
