PERFETTO. Di solito, quando si parla della Terra ci si riferisce a ciò che siamo soliti vedere sulla sua superficie: la distesa degli oceani e la configurazione irregolare dei monti, delle valli e delle pianure. Queste, insieme ad altre, sono infatti le caratteristiche dello strato superficiale del nostro pianeta, cioè la crosta terrestre, che è stata molto esplorata ed è, si può dire, ben conosciuta. Ma al di sotto di questo strato vi sono, praticamente inesplorati, il mantello e il nucleo, sui quali non possediamo alcuna conoscenza diretta. Inoltre, i movimenti che si producono nelle zone interne della Terra sono importanti quanto i processi di erosione e di sedimentazione che configurano la crosta terrestre. Vulcani e terremoti, ad esempio, hanno origine all'interno del mantello o nella parte inferiore della crosta. Diverse regioni, come la penisola scandinava, si sollevano, con andamento lento ma continuo, rispetto al livello del mare; altre regioni invece sono soggette a un processo di affondamento. Oltre e più che una introduzione generale alla geologia, l'autore ha inteso fornire una completa descrizione di quanto si conosce fino a questo momento sulle caratteristiche esterne e interne della Terra, e con grande efficacia ha saputo tracciare la storia del nostro pianeta e definirne la collocazione nell'universo. Andre Cailleux è professore di Geologia presso la facoltà di Scienze dell'Università di Parigi. L'universo del conoscere è una enciclopedia internazionale dello scibile moderno, composta da una serie di volumi dedicati a ciascuna delle materie e appositamente scritti dai più eminenti scienziati e studiosi di tutto il mondo. L'obbiettivo è di presentare, nella nostra epoca di « specialisti », delle trattazioni estese e aggiornate delle singole discipline, che peraltro consentano, dov'è possibile, di vedere anche i nessi reciproci. Agevoli, chiari, adeguatamente illustrati, i volumi di questa collana si rivolgono soprattutto alla grande maggioranza dei lettori, ma possono prestarsi anche come strumenti di lavoro per gli studenti universitari e come strumenti di ragguaglio per gli uomini di cultura che vogliono informarsi di scienze, ricerche e dottrine diverse dalle loro. L'universo del conoscere esce contemporaneamente in Francia, Germania, Gran Bretagna, Italia, Olanda, Spagna, Svezia e Stati Uniti.

182919876Paris: Mme. Levi 1829. FIRST AND ONLY EDITION. Uniformly bound in calf-backed marbled boards spine labels; a brilliant copy. First and only edition. A complete collection of this journal which published monthly for the four years between 1826 and 1829. Devoted to the practice of magnetism in France. The periodical brings together various articles on medical and other experimentation with animal magnetism the latest trends and research testimonials and even letters from readers. Articles by practitioners such as Deleuze Comte and d’Aulnay reveal the scope of use of animal magnetism in medical and other practices. <br /> <br /> Hundreds of publications were printed following Mesmer’s initial introduction of the practice in 1784. L’Hermès was an important guidepost to the use and efficacy of animal magnetism and how it affected medicine in general as well as specific illnesses nearly fifty years later. It is quite rare to find a complete set. Mme. Levi unknown
183719474Philadelphia: Printed and Published by Merrihew & Gunn 1837. First edition. Boards soiled and spotted and the edges rubbed; spine split nearly the length of the joint and front board loose; some light foxing throughout; a good sound copy only. 12mo original rose linen spine printed drab boards 84 pages. Poe enthusiast Joseph Jackson was fresh off his triumphant 1920 attribution to Poe of the uncommon pseudonymous anti-Dickens English Notes Boston 1842 by "Quarles Quickens" when in Jackson's own words "the publicity given that discovery set a good many booksellers delving for copies. One Philadelphia bookseller who had not been fortunate enough to uncover a copy . . . did run across an anonymous little book which seemed to him to have a Poesque touch although he could not exactly explain why he was thus impressed. He had no knowledge of the copy which came into his possession but when I was looking over his stock he handed it to me with the remark: 'This looks as if it was written by Poe.'" From this characteristic bookseller remark--a certain offhand scholarly optimism cloaked in the guise of expertise with enough of modesty to serve as a disclaimer and nothing so vulgar here as the mention of a profit--there of course soon burst a moderate boom for this title. In the foreword to the new edition of the Philosophy of Animal Magnetism Philadelphia 1928 which inevitably followed Jackson makes a show of professing a suitably demure initial skepticism before launching into a series of confident assertions regarding Poe's identity as the author--Poe must have visited Philadelphia in 1837 as he had nothing else much better to do; the address of the printers in Carter's Alley puts them on the same block as the editor Samuel Atkinson which "would suggest that Poe had called on Atkinson and that the latter had referred him to the printers as likely to publish the book;" the use of italics and small capitals for emphasis is particularly characteristic of Poe "It is true that his publishers in later years dispensed with the use of small capitals but the printers of 'Animal Magnetism' Merrihew and Gunn Philadelphia were a new firm and did not remain long in business. They evidently followed the author's copy literally"; the appearance of the word "Literati" in the dedication to the receptive mind inevitably suggests Poe etc. etc. Jackson's case was sufficiently convincing to collector J. K. Lilly who reportedly paid $2500 for a copy of the first edition of The Philosophy of Animal Magnetism and--given the well-known difficulties of proving a negative allied to the book trade's understandable reluctance to give up a profitable attribution--later bibliographers have seemed equivocal about showing Jackson's claims the door. BAL vol. 7 page 150 notes "Jackson attributes this piece . . . to Poe" thus leaving outside the Poe canon while bibliographer of animal magnetism Adam Crabtree remarks "Although there is no general agreement on the matter this book has been attributed to Edgar Allan Poe." Scribner in 1941 offered a copy of the first edition for the then-substantial sum of $175 under the fig leaf of "Attributed by some authorities to the pen of Poe." Only Merle Johnson seems to have sufficient temerity to note as early as 1936 that this title "is now definitely established as not the work of Poe." All this having been said still an interesting early American work on the subject including instructions on how to induce magnetic somnambulism. Crabtree 385.

He decided that the effect was electrical and that its ends was carrying charges of opposite sign much as soft iron is magnetized by a lodestone. This paper is a forerunner of his "Tentamen Theoriae electricitatis et magnetismi" - published 1759 and one of the most original and important books in the history of electricity. It is the first reasoned fruitful exposition of electrical phenomena based on action-at-a-distance."Aepinus’ first reseraches on the thermoelectric properties of this stone Tourmalin which was then of extreme rarity were fundamental. He recognized the electrical nature of the attractive power of a warmed tourmaline and attempted not altogether successfully to reduce its apparent capriciousness to rule. He was particularly struck by the formal similarity between the tourmaline and the magnet in regard to polarity which inspired him to reconsider the possibility then occasionally discussed that electricity and magnetism were basically analogous. This thought became the This thought became the theme for his masterwork Tentamen theoriae electricitatis et magnetismi 1759."DSB."Aepinus is known in the history of electricity for his attempt to develop the one fluid theory of Franklin. His theory was for a while generally adopted but was gradually displaced by the two fluid theory in consequence chiefly of the necessity of ascribing to uncharged matter repulsions of the same force as those which were ascribed to electrical charges. His theory exhibits interesting similarities to the present theory of the constitution of matter"Magie "A Source Book in Physics" pp.406-8.Ronalds p. 4. </em> unknown
