Internally clean and fine. <br/><br/><em>First printing of Faraday's famous letter to Gay-Lussac in which he claim to be the discoverer of electro-magnetic induction analysed the results of the Italian philosophers pointing out their errors and defending himself from what he regarded as imputations on his character. The style of this letter is unexceptionable for Faraday could not write otherwise than as a gentleman; but the letter shows that had he willed it he could have hit hard. The letter was later translated into English and published in "Philosophical Magazine" in 1840 under the title "On Magneto-electric Induction"."In 1831 seemingly out of nowhere came the discovery of electromagnetic induction and the beginning of the experimental researches in electricity which were to lead Faraday to the discovery of the laws of electrochemistry specific inductive capacity the Faraday effect and the foundations of classical field theory."

Edited by Richard Taylor." Vol. I. Pp. 540-547. <br/><br/><em>Henry's milestone paper announcing his discovery of electrical self-induction. "Henry independently discovered electro-magnetic induction and in this paper announced his discovery of electric self-induction one of the prime properies of an electro-magnetic circuit. Henry was an eminent experimenter but was casual in publishing his findings with resulting lack of recognition of his contributions."Bern Dibner.Dibner "Heralds of Sciece" No.63.It was also printed the same year in "Transactions of the American Philosophical Society New Series Vol. 5". The paper was later printed in "Philosophical Magazine" 1840."The direction of Henry’s thought became somewhat apparent in his 1835 paper refers to the papers reading before the American Phil. Soc. febr. 6th 1835 on the action of a spiral conductor in increasing the intensity of galvanic currents. The paper started out as an affirmation of Henry’s priority in the discovery of self-induction. He then combined induction proper using Faraday’s findings and his own with selfinduction to show how these produce a pattern of repulsions yielding an increased effect in spirals. He specifically linked these “magneto-electrical†results to the principles of static induction developed by Cavendish and Poisson. This explanation was then applied to Savary’s report of changes of polarity when magnetic needles were placed at varying distances from a wire in which a current was being transmitted "Mémoire sur l’aimantation" in Annales de chimie et de physique 34 1827. That is currents appeared periodically in the air surrounding a current-bearing straight wire as a result of the actions of induction and self-induction." DSB.Wheeler Gift: 2724-2725a. </em> unknown

Pierre-Jules-César Janssen a French astronomer noticed a yellow line in the sun's spectrum while studying a total solar eclipse in 1868. Sir Norman Lockyer an English astronomer realized that this line with a wavelength of 587.49 nanometers could not be produced by any element known at the time. It was hypothesized that a new element on the sun was responsible for this mysterious yellow emission. This unknown element was named helium by Lockyer." </em> unknown

Pelletier and Caventou wanted to name their new alkaloid vauqueline after Nicolas Vauquelin one of their associates who had refined the technique of ether extraction for use in isolating alkaloids. However the officers of the Académe des Sciences in Paris rejected the idea on the grounds that a respected scientist’s name should not be paired with a deadly poison. In addition to strychnine the pair isolated other important compounds from plants including caffeine chlorophyll and the anti-malaria drug quinine. Paul L.

Pp. 387-528. Ritter's announcement p. 525. With titlepage to volume 7. Clean and fine. Titlepage a bit shavedin inner margin. <br/><br/><em>First printing of Ritter's announcement of his discovery of ultraviolet light in a halfpage letter addressed to Gilbert's Annalen. With that discovery it became clear that visible light represents no more than a fraction of a continous spectrum.A year earlier in 1800 William Herschel discovered infrared light. This was the first time that a form of light beyond visible light had been detected. After hearing about Herschel's discovery of an invisible form of light beyond the red portion of the spectrum Ritter decided to conduct experiments to determine if invisible light existed beyond the violet end of the spectrum as well. He had heard that blue light caused a greater reaction in silver chloride than red light did. Ritter decided to measure the rate at which silver chloride reacted to the different colors of light. He directed sunlight through a glass prism to create a spectrum. He then placed silver chloride in each color of the spectrum and found that it showed little change in the red part of the spectrum but darkened toward the violet end of the spectrum. Johann Ritter then decided to place silver chloride in the area just beyond the violet end of the spectrum in a region where no sunlight was visible. To his amazement this region showed the most intense reaction of all. This showed for the first time that an invisible form of light existed beyond the violet end of the visible spectrum. This new type of light which Ritter called Chemical Rays later became known as ultraviolet light or ultraviolet radiation the word ultra means beyond. - Parkinson Breakthroughs: 1801 P. </em> unknown

Berry's paper: pp. 45-57. Clean and fine. <br/><br/><em>First printing of the paper in which Berry describes his discovery of the "Berry phase" a unifying concept in quantum mechanics."In 1983 Berry made the surprising discovery that a quantum system adiabatically transported round a closed circuit in the space of external parameters acquires besides the familiar dynamical phase a non-integrable phase depending only on the geometry of the circuit. This Berry phase which had been overlooked for more than half a century provides us a very deep insight on the geometric structure of quantum mechanics and gives rise to various observable effects. The concept of the Berry phase has now become a central unifying concept in quantum mechanics with applications in fields ranging from chemistry to condensed matter physics. In particular the Berry phase plays an important role in modern magnetism an allows to reach a deeper understanding of a broad range of phenomena such as the spin-orbit coupling the Aharonov-Bohm effect the quantum Hall effect the anomalous Hall effect the magnon dynamics the tunneling of magnetization in molecular magnets etc. Further in the light of the Berry phase a number of new phenomena can be predicted in ferromagnets with a textured magnetization or in semiconductors with spin-orbit coupling."
