300751New York: Charles Magnus 61 Bowery. Most bifoliums. 4to Largest 21" x 9-1/2" unfolded. Mostly fine. Provenance: Estate of James and Katherine Abbe Long Island New York. Most bifoliums. 4to Largest 21" x 9-1/2" unfolded. A lovely group of lettersheets by Charles Magnus entirely typical of his output. Lettersheets were a convenient and thrifty form of stationery in an era which postage was calculated on the number of sheets used. Folded in half these four pages were charged as a single page.<br/><br/>Charles Magnus emigrated to New York with his family in the late 1840s. His older brother published the weekly German language newspaper Deutsche Schnellpost and it was there that Charles learned the trade eventually going out on his own. In the guises of a publisher map dealer bookseller and stationer he issued more than a thousand pieces of illustrated stationery - lettersheets envelopes song sheets as well as prints - usually copying the work from other sources without attribution sometimes altering the images slightly. He continued to use lithography and hand-coloring long after other publishers turned to photomechanical reproduction processes. Charles Magnus, 61 Bowery unknown books

1927S0464In:: Zeitschrift fur physik 41 1927. 1927. pp. 81-103. 8vo. Navy cloth gilt stamped spine. 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 handsomely bound; covers lightly freckled else fine. RARE. FIRST EDITION. PROBABILITY OF A MANY-PARTICLE SYSTEM INTRODUCED. This paper deals with gas degeneracy and paramagnetism. In a footnote note 1 p. 83 Pauli introduced for the first time the probability for a many-particle system with coordinates q1. . .qf: "q1. . .qf .dq1. . .dqf is the probability that in the relevant quantum state of the system the coordinates simultaneously lie in the relevant volume element of configuration space." Thus Pauli's paper is a contribution to the ongoing problem of the appropriate application of Bose-Einstein statistics or Fermi-Dirac statistics. In this paper Pauli wrote "We shall take the point of view also advocated by Dirac that the Fermi and not the Einstein-Bose statistics applies to the material gas" thus clearing up the matter. See Pais Inward bound p. 258; Pais Subtle is the Lord p. 432 and 285. The following articles by important contributors are included in volume 41: with: LAUE Max von 1879-1960 & Lise MEITNER 1878-1968. "Die berechnung der reichweitestreuung aus Wilson-Aufnahmen." In: Zeitschrift fur physik 41 1927 pp. 397-406. In this paper Meitner and von Laue report their inconclusive efforts to test a theoretical formula of Bohr's that related statistical variations in range to the mechanism by which alpha particles lost energy to the atoms they encountered.

Quarter black cloth paste-paper over boards gilt spine. Blind-stamp of the Carnegie Institution of Washington Mount Wilson Observatory. Fine. FIRST EDITION. "In the first part of his paper Pauli gave a beautiful account of this projective geometry and its tensor analysis which were developed from first principles and he formulated the Einstein-Maxwell equations in projective coordinates. The second part dealt with the incorporation of spinors and of Dirac's equation into this geometrical structure. In my opinion this is by far the most satisfactory exposition of spinors in general relativity – quite independent of the problems of a unified field theory." Bargmann. Wolfgang Pauli's work on relativity which began with his article on the theory of relativity for the Encyklopadie der mathematischen Wissenschaften in 1921 ed. Felix Klein when Pauli was twenty years old established Pauli as a scientist of rare depth and of an unsurpassed power of both synthesis and critical analysis.

1932S6207Berlin:: Julius Springer 1932. 1932. 8vo. Pages 348-365. Entire volume: vii 846 pp. 17 figs. Navy cloth gilt spine. Blind-stamp of the Carnegie Institution of Washington Mount Wilson Observatory. Fine. FIRST EDITION. "The period 1923-1933 marks the peak of Stern's contributions to physics. Shortly after assuming his post at Hamburg on 1 January 1923 he set out to organize a laboratory specially equipped for molecular-beam research and to devise a program for conducting this research which was executed to a large degree with remarkable success. . . . The program was concerned with demonstrating the wave nature of particles - a revolutionary assumption introduced in 1924 by Louis de Broglie that became the foundation of modern quantum mechanics. . . . The significance of the work on the wave nature of particles is similar to that of the Stern-Gerlach experiment: each provided unambiguous direct and thoroughly convincing proof of revolutionary concepts introduced into the foundations of physics. These experiments were essential for the acceptance of new ideas that had previously been regarded with considerable skepticism." DSB. DSB XIII pp. 40-43. Julius Springer, 1932. hardcover books
