The map was created by F. L. Olmstead & Co. and depicts the park in beautiful detail noting individual trees pathways streets fields and other details. Designed by Frederick Law Olmstead Franklin Park is considered the 'crowning jewel' of Olmstead's achievements in Boston.<br> <br> Created originally as a 'country park' it is the largest of component of the Emerald Necklace created by Olmstead. The Park Commissioners had originally hoped to get funding for the park from Ben Franklin's trust hence the name. Originally built outside of Boston's most populated centers today the park is a welcoming space in the midst of the city. The map is in good condition with minor wear along the folds and minor toning. <br> <br> The map was created by the renowned Landscape architect Frederick Law Olmsted 1822-1903 who also designed some of the most famous parks in the United States including Central Park in New York City and Golden Gate Park in San Francisco. This is an excellent example of his work.<br/> <br/> Heliotype Printing Co unknown

"The law show a possible connection between thermodynamics and electromagnetism that was exploited in the later quantum theory. In the 1920s it was applied by Edington and others in explaining the equilibrium of stellar atmospheres."DSB II p. 266."The law states that the total energy radiated per unit surface area of a black body per unit time known variously as the black-body irradiance energy flux density radiant flux or the emissive power is directly proportional to the fourth power of the black body's thermodynamic temperature T also called absolute temperature.The Stefan Boltzmann law was experimentally discovered in the year 1879 by Josef Stefan and deduced 1884 by Ludwig Boltzmann theoretically by thermodynamic considerations from the classical electromagnetic theory of the radiation. In the year 1900 thus 21 years after the Stefan Boltzmann law discovered Max Planck the Planck radiation law designated after it from which the Stefan Boltzmann law follows simply by integration over all directions and wavelengths. The Planck radiation law could attribute the Stefan Boltzmann constant also for the first time with the introduction of the quantum of action h to fundamental natural constants."Parkinson "Breakthroughs" 1883 P. </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

XXIX p. 175 nous nous empressons d'en enrichir les Annales."Editor's footnote.In the memoir "He adopts Young's principle that reflection and refraction are due to differences in the inertia of the aether in different material bodies and supposes as in the memoir on aberration that the inertia is proportional to the inverse square of the velocity of propagation of light in the medium. The conditions which he proposes to satisfy at the interface between two media are that the displacements of the aadjacent molecules resolved parallell to this interface shall be equal in the two media; and that the energy of the reflwected and refracted waves together shall be equal to that of the incident wave."Whittaker "A History of the Theories of Aether and Electricity" I p.123. </em> unknown

Clean and fine. <br/><br/><em>First appearance of the fundamental statement of Lenz's Law which says that the direction of a current produces by electrodynamic induction is always such as to oppose by its electromagnetic action the flux change which gave rice to it. The memoir appeared at the same time in "Mémoires and Bulletin" of the St. Petersburg Academie of Sciences."Lenz's name survives in the history of physics as the result of his discovery of two fundamental physical laws - soon seen as special cases of the law of conservation of energy - and a great many empirical quantitative relationships of electromagnetic electrothermal and electrochemical phenomena.His application of Ohm's law and Gauss's method of least squares and his graphical representation of various laws have distinguished his work from the scientific papers of most of his contemporaries.In November 1833 Lenz read his paper Ueber die Bestimmung der Richtung der durch elektrodynamische Vertheilung erregten galvanischen Ströme" before the St. Petersburg Academy. It established Lenz's Law relating the phenomena of induction to those of the ponderomotive interaction of currents and magnets discovered by Oersted and Ampère. Lenz's Law states that the induced current is in such a direction as to oppose by its electromagnetic action the motion of the magnet or coil that produces the induction. F. Neumann's derivation of the mathematical expression for the electromotive force of induction 1846 and Helmholtz's proof of the law of conservation of energy 1847 were based on Lenz's Law. This law also includes the principle of invertibility of motor and generator which lenz demonstrated on Pixii's magnetoelectric machine in 1838."DSB VIII p. 187-188.Lenz was born on February 12 1804 in Dorpat and died in Rome on februray 10 1865. He became professor of physics at the University of St. Petersburg. He investigated the conductivity of many materials for electricity and the effect of temperature on conductivity. he also studied the heat produced by the current and discovered the law which is known by the name of Joule.Magie "A Source Book of Physics" pp.511-13. </em> unknown
