Crown quarto. Pp. 182; 183-212 (appendices). Plus a folding plate (of two) loosely inserted, comprising of a coloured map and a plan printed on a single sheet. Original printed wrappers, edge frayed, shabby, spine reinforced with paper, old military institutional stamps to cover and half-title. In a very good internal condition, preserved entirely in the original state, untrimmed and with ample margins. ~ First edition. Extremely rare. WorldCat lists holdings of the second edition (1874) only. Also Jordan (0455) is unable to collate this edition or to compare it with the second (0456). One may assume that the total number of pages in both editions is equal, i.e. 182, with the addition of the appendices at the end. In this view, it is possible that the last two appendices, an extract from another work of Brialmont and an extract from Tripier's work on the defense of Paris, are missing here. This part comprises of pages 213-220 which are provided here in facsimile from scans of the second edition. Also the smaller plate of the two, Pl. I, is lacking and provided in colour facsimile.

This discovery was amazing because photons have no mass. However the Joliot-Curies interpreted the results as the action of photons on the hydrogen atoms in paraffin. They used the analogy of the Compton Effect in which photons impinging on a metal surface eject electrons. The trouble was that the electron was 1836 times lighter than the proton and therefore recoiled much more easily than the heavier proton after a collision with a gamma photon. When James Chadwick reported to Lord Rutherford on the Joliot-Curies’ results Lord Rutherford exclaimed "I do not believe it!" Chadwick immediately repeated the experiments at the Cavendish Laboratory in Cambridge England. He not only bombarded the hydrogen atoms in paraffin with the beryllium emissions but also used helium nitrogen and other elements as targets. By comparing the energies of recoiling charged particles from different targets he proved that the beryllium emissions contained a neutral component with a mass approximately equal to that of the proton. He called it the neutron. </em> unknown
