Unveröffentlichtes Monument der sorbischen Sprache: 'Lebensbeschreibung 1818 als ich das erstemal das Tageslicht erblickte.' So eröffnet der 15 jährige die über 380 dicht beschriebenen Seiten im Dezember 1834. Es folgen zahlreiche Texte in deutscher italienischer und lateinischer Sprache. - Johann Peter Jordan 1818-1891 geboren in der sorbischen Ortschaft Zischkowitz besuchte seit seinem 13 Lebensjahr das Wendische Seminar in Prag. Hier begann er das Studium der Theologie wandte sich aber sehr bald der Journalistik und Slawistik zu. 1837 veröffentlichte er in der Prager Zeitschrift 'Ost und West' einen Aufsatz über die Sorben. In diesen Jahren sammelte er sorbische Volkslieder und bemühte sich um die Vereinheitlichung der sorbischen Orthographie. Weiters verfasste er eine Grammatik der wendisch-sorbischen Sprache in der Oberlausitz. Mit dieser Schrift wurde er 1843 in Leipzig promoviert. Auf Grund seiner Teilnahme am nationalpolitischen Leben in Prag musste er auf Druck der österreichischen Polizei die Stadt verlassen. Er bekam ein Lektorat für slawische Sprachen an der Universität Leipzig. Von 1842 bis in die späten 1860er Jahre gab er gemeinsam mit Arnost Smoler die 'Jahrbücher für slawische Literatur Kunst und Wissenschaft' heraus. Angesichts der nationalpolitischen Entwicklungen in Böhmen und Mähren verließ Jordan Leipzig in Richtung Prag wo er sich aktiv an der tschechischen Nationalbewegung beteiligte und 1848 den Slawenkongress mitorganisierte. 1848/49 wirkte er in Prag als der Herausgeber der 'Slavischen Centralblätter'. Seine dortige prorevolvolutionäre Tätigkeit kostete ihn jedoch sein Lektorat in Leipzig. Jordan wird heute gemeinsam mit Smoler als geistiger Wegbereiter der sorbischen nationalen Wiedergeburt angesehen. Aufgrund seiner publizistischen und politisch-kulturelllen Misserfolge in der Lausitz wandte er sich dem Wirtschaftsleben zu. 1859 war er Präsident der Prager Industrie- und Handelskammer und arbeitet auch mit dem Bankhaus Fugger zusammen. 1861 übersiedelte er nach Wien wo er in konservativ alttschechischen Kreisen verkehrte. - - In die Biographie eingeschaltet sind zahlreiche literarische Versuche Jordans darunter etwa auch Gedichte und Balladen in sorbischer "Ton ton te Dzeczo" in deutscher lateinischer und italinischer Sprache "Das Christgeschenk" "Elephante in India" "Turris Straßburgensis" folgt wiederum ein sorbisches Gedicht mit mehreren Hunderten von Verszeilen ferner "La Continuazione dell'Apparenza ingannar communicata.". Es folgen Notizen zum Opernlibretti "Nel 'Ratto d'Europa' di Sig.e Metastasio Venere dice a Europa:." dann wieder extrem lange Passagen in sorbischer Sprache teils nach Monaten geteilt etwa mit Titelei in roter Tinte wie "Maerz Marzio Mars Martius" Wohlerhalten kaum fleckig kaum Gebrauchsspuren meist sehr gut lesbar - geschrieben in einer sehr kleinen feinen altdeutschen Kurrentschrift mit Feder in Sepia-Schwarz. Beiliegt ein kleines Manuskript mit literarischen Versuchen: "Das Wirtshaus im Walde. Historische Erzählung" 28 S. auf 7 gefalteten Blättern beidseitig beschrieben sowie eine Liste der Libri lecti Jordans: "Folgende Bücher habe ich gelesen" 4 S. auf gefaltetem Doppelblatt.

Octavo. 80pp. map of Africa plates and illustrations. Yellow printed wrappers. Contemporary name on front wrap wrappers with light foxing and soiling very good or better. The scarce autobiography of Lewis Garnett Jordan 1853–1939 who describes his life o f enslavement before the Civil War and just after. Born in Lauderdale County Mississippi Jordan’s childhood was traumatizing. His father a Spaniard who passed for a White man was absent. His mother like Jordan was enslaved. As a boy unnamed and known only as “Nig†he was struck by the plantation owner’s wife for committing a small infraction:<br /> <br /> “Mother like an enraged lioness collared her mistress and nearly choked her to death. Of course she was severely flogged by the master for it but it took nearly the remaining afternoon to do so. From that time until freedom came the master never attempted to whip her without a gun near at hand and being sure that she was well tied. The sight of her bleeding back and her mournful cries for mercy and pity as the blows from a cowhide rained on her bare back will always remain in my memory.†<br /> <br /> During the Civil War Jordan worked in a Confederate camp with his enslaver who had been compelled to enlist. When victorious Union soldiers came to the plantation the enslaved men and women were “hidden so as not to fall into the hands of the Yankees who were pictured to us as dreadful ogres to be shunned at all hazards… .†When the soldiers came again Jordan hid in fear. His mother was dismayed. She had been prepared to escape with her son who she could not find and she knew that the soldiers could have taken them to freedom.<br /> <br /> “Most of the Union soldiers had been mustered out of service†when a second opportunity arose for the Jordans to escape enslavement. It was learned that some Union troops were still encamped in Meridian Mississippi. Jordan writes that his mother had never taken recompense for her years as a slave but on the night of their escape Jordan was instructed to steal a pair of shoes for her “to wear to freedom.†In the pouring rain wading in creeks and lagoons and evading bloodhounds the duo finally achieved their liberty. It was in this Union “contraband camp†where Jordan was finally able to leave slavery behind.<br /> <br /> Jordan was still without a name when a camp school teacher asked him for his. Unwilling to be identified as “Nig†Jordan spontaneously gave the first names of two soldiers “Lewis†and “Jordan†who had been kind to him thus giving himself a name and having a name for the first time in his life. Later in life Jordan added “Garnett†as his middle name after reading an account of the life of the Rev. Henry Highland Garnett in The Rising Sun by William Wells Brown.<br /> <br /> A year after the war’s end in 1866 Jordan’s aunt was kidnapped by a former slaveowner and never seen again. His sister was kidnapped and his mother was forcefully carried off to be a wet nurse by a White United States Colored Troops officer. Jordan was sent to live with another officer from the 52nd Colored Regiment. This man treated him cruelly and Jordan ran away.<br /> <br /> Jordan’s narrative continues apace. Eventually he was baptized on a plantation once owned by Jefferson Davis and reunited with his mother. Jordan was licensed to preach in 1873 and ordained in 1874. His first ministry was located in Yazoo City Mississippi. Subsequently he pastored churches in Texas and finally at Philadelphia’s Union Baptist Church.<br /> <br /> Other portions of Jordan’s text concern his missionary endeavors in Africa brief biographical sketches of important Baptists his education his religious beliefs and various other events and experiences. The book’s interesting Introduction was written by Adam Clayton Powell Sr. pastor of the Abyssinian Baptist Church New York’s oldest Black church.<br /> <br /> Not in Work.

Patent specification 148582 . . . improvements in ionic relays. Redhill: Printed for His Majesty's Stationery Office by Love & Malcomson Ltd. 1920. 5pp. Folding plate. Errata slip tipped to first leaf. 267 x 195 mm. Unbound. Light wear along gutter margin and fore-edge but very good. Stamps of the Belgian Bureau voor den Industrieelen Eigendom Bibliotheek. </p> <p>First Edition. On June 21 1918 British physicists William Henry Eccles and Frank Wilfred Jordan professors of engineering at London's City and Guilds Technical College filed a patent for "Improvements in Ionic Relays"-the first flip-flop circuit. The device originally called the Eccles-Jordan trigger circuit consisted of two active elements vacuum tubes. The schematic drawing illustrating Eccles and Jordan's patent shows two flip-flops "one drawn as a cascade of amplifiers with a positive feedback path and the other as a symmetric cross-coupled pair" Wikipedia. The patent specification no. 148582 was first published in 1920. </p> <p>Early flip-flops were known variously as trigger circuits or multivibrators. A flip-flop circuit has two stable states and as Claude Shannon pointed out in his Mathematical Theory of Communication 1948 can be used to store one bit of information. Flip-flop circuits operate using Boolean algebra AND OR NOT. Prior to the invention of electronic computing Eccles and Jordan viewed their invention as a "method of relaying or magnifying in electrical circuits for use in telegraphy and telephony." However with the invention of electronic computing that used vacuum tubes as switches flip-flops became the basic storage element in sequential logic used in digital circuitry and the basis for electronic memory. In September 1919 Eccles and Jordan described the flip-flop in a brief one-page paper "A trigger relay utilizing three-electrode thermionic vacuum tubes" The Electrician 83 September 19 1919 p. 298. However the patent filed the previous year and consisting of 5 pages plus illustration remains the first description of this invention. Very rare. </p> . H. M. Stationery Office unknown

Original printed wrappers slightly toned. Very good. Presentation Copy inscribed by Jordan to H. A. Kramers 1894-1952 on the front wrapper: "Kramers Mit vielen herzlichen Grüßen!" Kramers with best regards.</p> <p> First Edition Offprint Issue. Jordan the "unsung hero among the creators of quantum mechanics" Schweber QED and the Men who Made It p. 5 was one of the founders of quantum electrodynamics. In 1927 Dirac had laid out the initial formulation of QED in his paper "The quantum theory of emission and absorption of radiation" which introduced the idea of "second quantization" to reconcile the wave and light-quantum descriptions of the electromagnetic field. "Reading Dirac's QED paper gave Jordan the insight on how to 'second quantize' so that the quanta obeyed the Pauli exclusion principle" Schweber p. 34.</p> <p> For Jordan this second quantization "was to be viewed as the quantization of a classical field. Jordan had been very much drawn to the de Broglie-Einstein-Schrödinger view that fields were the primary entities. Moreover he believed that this procedure should be applied to matter fields in the same way as it had been applied by him to the electromagnetic field in his paper with Born 1926 and in the Dreimännerarbeit 1926 . . . In a series of seminal papers including this one stimulated by Dirac's formulation Jordan established that the 'second quantization' procedure could in fact be thus interpreted. These papers laid the foundation of quantum field theory" Schweber p. 33; emphasis ours.</p> <p> Following a joint paper with Oskar Klein "Zum Mehrkörperproblem der Quantentheorie" 1927 Jordan published the present paper in which he formulated the quantization rules to yield Fermi-Dirac statistics. This paper "contained several other formal and mathematical generalizations but its main practical value is that in the newly established theory of the 'quantized wave field' the fluctuations in the Bose case now satisfied all requirements following from Einstein's light-quantum treatment of 1924 and 1925" Mehra and Rechenberg Historical Development of Quantum Theory 6 p. 231. </p> . unknown
