Bound at end of volume 2. The memoir no. 25a below is inserted at the end of volume 2. Some of the memoirs having textillustrations. Some versos of titlepages with stamps. First appearances of this groundbreaking series of papers and memoirs in which Fresnel established the scientific basis for the wave theory of light and gave the theoretical framework for explaining in the context of his theory of the transversal nature of lightwaves the phenomena of double refraction refraction dispersion polarization interference diffraction patterns diffraction fringes as light spreads around objects etc. He developed mathematically the hypothesis of the wave nature of light and he demonstrates its conformity with experience. His study of light was a dynamic interplay between theory and observation between mathematics and experiment. - The offered series also comprises the contributions from Arago and the rapports from The French Academy's committees by Ampère Biot and Fourier - see below nos. 6111415a.nd 18."From the point of view of method his investigations extended from the manual operations of the laboratory to the most abstract mathematical analyses. Few physicists since Newton had been so versatile."Silliman in "Historical Studies in the Physical Sciences" vol. 4 p. 155."The wave-thory at this time was still encumbered with difficulties. Diffraction was not satisfactorily explained; for polarization no explanation of any kind was forthcoming; the Huygenian construction appeared to require two different luminiferous media within double refracting bodies; and the universality of that construction had been impugned by Brewster's discovery of biaxial crystals. The upholders of the emission theory emboldened by the success of Laplace's theory of double refraction thought the time ripe for their final triunph; and as a step to this in March 1817 they proposed Diffration as the subject of the Academy's prize for 1818. Their expectation was disappointed; and the successful memoir afforded the first of a series of reverses of which in the short space of seven years the corpuscular theory was completely owerthrown. The author was Augustin Fresnel."Whittaker "A History of the Theories of Aether & Electricity" vol. 1 p.107 ff."This concept of transverse waves met with the greatest hostility from the scientists of the day who could not imagine an extremely fluid and rarified ether which at the same time possessed the mechanical properties of a rigid body. Even Arago admitted that he could not follow the exuberant engineer in his ideas. ButFresnel was convinced that at last he had the key to many mysteries and with his model of waves he gave a full clarification of the phenomena of polarization. With insuperable precision he explained a long series of extremely complicated experiments such as those of chromatic polarization that Arago himself had discovered by chance in 1811 and which the followers of Newton could not explain in spite of all their efforts. Following this line Fresnel reached the synthesis which is his masterpiece.we must recall the final interpretation that he gave of the famous phenomenon of partial reflection by transparent surfaces that simple phenomenon which until then had puzzled Grimaldi Newton and Huygens and which in Malus's experiments had unexpectedly acquired a special importencee as it had been compared to the great mystery of double refraction."Ronchi "The Nature of Light" p. 255 ff.Comprising:1.

Some scattered brownspots. First appearance of Fresnel's landmark papers on the phenomena of diffraction presenting Fresnel's first priinted paper on the subject. These two papers won the Academy's prize for 1818 and were later expanded and published as a long memoir in 1826. The first paper offered initiated the attack on the corpuscular theory of light which was completely owerthrown by a series of succesfull papers by Fresnel the next few years. In the second paper Fresnel summed up all his work prior to this date in completed form. The paper is called "extract" but the longer memoir was not published until 1826. The paper is A CLASSIC IN PHYSICS."In broad context Fresnel's work can be viewed as the first successfull assault on the theory of imponderables and a major influence on the development of nineteenth-centurty energetics." DSB V p. 171.Diffraction arises because of the way in which waves propagate; this is described by the Huygens-Fresnel principle. The propagation of a wave can be visualized by considering every point on a wavefront as a point source for a secondary radial wave. The subsequent propagation and addition of all these radial waves form the new wavefront. When waves are added together their sum is determined by the relative phases as well as the amplitudes of the individual waves an effect which is often known as wave interference. The summed amplitude of the waves can have any value between zero and the sum of the individual amplitudes. Hence diffraction patterns usually have a series of maxima and minima.

"The procedure which Lorenz followed was that of which Riemann had suggested in 1858 namely to modify the accepted formula of electrodynamics by introducing terms which though too small to be appreciable in ordinary laboratory experiments would be capable of accounting for the propagation of electrical effects through space with a finite velocity.The Lorenz- equations are however the fundamental equations of Maxwell's theory; and therefore the theory of L. Lorenz is practically equivalent to that of Maxwell so far as concerns the propagation of electromagnetic disturbances through free aether.he suggested that ALL LUMINOUS VIBRATIONS MIGHT BE CONSTITUTED BY ELECTRIC CURRENTS and hence that there was 'no longer any reason for maintaining the hypothesis of an aether since we can admit that space contains sufficient ponderable matter to enable the disturbance to be propagated" Edmund Whittaker in "A History of the Theories of Aether and Electricity I" p. 267-70. unknown

The inside front cover has a pastedown fully identifying the writer: "Serjeant T. Wells of the 1st BATTALION OXFORDSHIRE & BUCKINGHAMSHIRE LIGHT INFANTRY. 19th Sept. to 13th Dec. 1934. Instructors Gartzen and Harkinson". An Index of the 67 page book shows that besides the lessons in the three sword types there are chapters on the Army Fencing Union Pitches and Arenas and Bayonet Team Competitions. We are led to believe that this book is also a manual for the Instructor trainee as most pages have three columns headed: Pupil Master Remarks. The remarks appear to be helpful hints for the Instructor in dealing with the pupil. There are a number of hand drawn illustrations including charts tables graphs and such plus there are quite a few little. 1.5" x 1" photographs which were cut from elsewhere and glued in as part of the lesson. In addition to the identification on the cover and inside front cover the back cover has Sjt. Wells handwritten address being we believe Bordon Hants Hampshire.

Printed on various paper stocks with overlaid Japanese text throughout. Creasing and wear to corners of wraps; soiling and fading to rear cover; 3.5" closed tear from base of one leaf; the usual toning to textblock. Good to very good. A photobook telling the story of Argentine revolutionary Che Guevara 1928-1967 as compiled under the pseudonym Buenos no Hi The Light of Buenos by members of Japan's legendary avant-garde photography collective Provoke. Published in the immediate aftermath of the third issue of Provoke magazine the book's bold layout combines appropriated images with texts by and about Guevara. Provoke members Koji Taki and Takuma Nakahira were the work's principle compilers although Daido Moriyama was also reportedly involved in curating the photographs. A scarce and striking publication exemplary both of the gritty blown-out style Provoke has come to be revered for and of the revolutionary spirit that motivated their work. OCLC reports just six holdings of this title only three of them in the United States. Gendai Shokan paperback

MACHIAVELLI NicoloMareMagnum

Tutte le Opere di Nicolo Machiavelli cittadino et secretario fiorentino. Divise in V. Parti et di nuovo con somma accuratezza ristampate al santissimo et beatissimo Padre Signore Nostro Clemente VII. THE SINCLAIR 'TESTINA' MACHIAVELLI IN CONTEMPORARY VELLUM

5 parts in 1 vol., 8vo., text in Italian, with fine engraved woodcut portrait of the author on title; contemporary full vellum, backstrip lettered and dated in MS with Sinclair family stamp in gilt, yapped fore-edges, blue sprinkled edges, some light and largely uniform age-stoning else a remarkably bright, clean, crisp copy. A SINCLAIR FAMILY COPY OF THE 'TESTINA' MACHIAVELLI, WITH FINE NINETEENTH CENTURY ENGRAVED ARMORIAL FAMILY BOOKPLATE ON FRONT PASTE-DOWN, MS SIGNATURE 'SINCLAIR' ON TITLE, AND FAMILY CREST WITH MOTTO STAMPED IN GILT ON BACKSTRIP. The bookplate carries the Sinclair press-mark in MS and the front paste-down several (cancelled) earlier press-marks. With a nineteenth century bookseller's printed cataloguing mounted facing front free endpaper. The collection comprises: Part I: Historie Fiorentine; Part II: Il Principe. La vita di Castruccio Castracani. Il modo che tenne il Duca Valentino per ammazzare Vitellozzo Vitelli. I ritratti delle cose di Francia e di Alamagna; Part III: Discorsi sopra la prima Deca di Tito Livio; Part IV: Dell'arte della Guerra; Part V: L'Asino d'oro. With the Index and Privilege of Clemente VII. The dating is false; several editions of Machiavelli carry nominally earlier dates following their proscription by the Pope in the 1550s. General James St. Clair-Erskine, 2nd Earl of Rosslyn (1762-1837) was educated at Edinburgh High School and Eton, and commissioned in 21st Light Dragoons (one of the several early manifestations of the regiment; disbanded 1783) after which he pursued a distinguished military and political career. He succeeded his uncle to the Earldom in 1805, and was in the following year a member of the Mission to Lisbon which resulted in Wellington's Peninsular Campaign. He was appointed General in 1814, Lord Privy Seal (1829-30) and Lord President of the Council under Peel (1934-5). The Geneva 'testina' editions take their name from the 'little head' of the author carried on titles. Brunet, III, 1274; Gamba 623 (recording several variant printings).

MAXWELL, JAMES CLARK - THE INTRODUCTION OF THE "ELECTRICAL FORMULATION" OF THE ELECTROMAGNETIC THEORY OF LIGHTBiblio.com

On a Method of making a Direct Comparison of Electrostatic with Electromagnetic Force; with a Note on the Electromagnetic Theory of Light. Read June 18 1868.

186942029London Taylor & Francis 1869 Large 4to. Without wrappers. Extracted from "Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London." Vol. 158. Maxwell's paper: pp. 643-657. Clean and fine wide margins. First appearance of this major paper on electromagnetic dynamics in which Maxwell improves the groundbreaking equations he had set forth in his famous paper of 1865 the "A dynamical Theory of Electro-Magnetic Fields". In the paper offered here he for the first time proposed to base the electromagnetic theory of light solely on 2 equations. The paper is one of Maxwell's 5 most importent contributions to electromagnetism."Formulas for the forces between moving charged bodies may indeed de derived from Maxwell's equations but the action is not along the line joining them and can be reconciled with a dynamical principle only by taking into account the exchange of momentum with the field. Maxwell remarked that the equations might be condensed but "to eliminate a quantity which expresses a useful idea would be rather a loss than a gain in this stage of our enquiry." he had in fact simplified the equations in his fifth major paper the short but importent "Note on the Electromagnetic Theory of Light." 1868 writing them in an integral form without the function A based on four postulates derived from electrical experiments. This may be called the electrical formulation of the theory in contrast with the original dynamical formulation." C.W.F. Everitt in DSB. unknown
