Entire volume offered. 2X652 pp. and 4 folded engraved plates. Weber & Kohlrausch's paper:pp. 10-25. <br/><br/><em>First appearance of this importent paper the results of which Maxwell later used as a crucial support for his electromagnetical theory of light.".The velocity of light c were measured by W. Weber and R. Kohlrausch in 1855 the paper offered. They used an electrometer to determine the charge of a condnsor in electrostatic units and a ballistic galvanometer to measure the same charge in electrodynamic units. The resulting value for c was in good agreement with that obtained by Fizeau in 1849 and Maxwell accordingly felt entitled to identify light and electromagnetic vibrations. This conclusion recalls Newton's identification of gravity with universal attraction: it was not only because they obeyed the same formal law but also because both led to the same mathematical results that Newton saw fit to combine them."Taton Réne in "History of Sciencein The Nineteenth Century" p. 163. </em> hardcover

224 pages including index. One hundred and fifty years ago the British planter arriving in India or Ceylon could hardly expect a bungalow, a deep freeze, a television - let alone an orderly estate of tea bushes. The scene would rather be the dense tropical jungle, disease-carrying insects, and prowling beasts of prey. He would work and live alone, and bivouac for months on end under tropical rains with but the scantiest of provisions. That is why this book is entitled The Pioneers. Author, who was a planter in Ceylon, has done much research covering the pre 1900 period, putting together a description in words and pictures of how these pioneers lived. Amazingly, although a few books of personal reminiscences by planters have been published in the distant past, Weatherstone's achievement has never before been attempted.... To anyone who has lived in India, Ceylon, Imperial China - or indeed any tea producing country - this work will have a strong nostalgic appeal. To those in the tea and coffee trades - even to the keener drinkers - it is an education, an exciting view into a near-forgotten world. But to the thinning ranks of retired planters, it is simply a must." - from dust jacket. Nearly 350 illustrations in colour and black and white.
