1793373234J. Dodsley London 1793. 5th Edition. Hardcover. Very Good Condition. 21 pages. This 1765 article published in The Annual Register provides a detailed account of John Harrison's groundbreaking work in solving the longitude problem at sea through the use of artificial time-keepers. Harrison an English clockmaker developed the marine chronometer a device that allowed sailors to accurately determine their longitude while at sea. His invention was crucial for safe navigation reducing the risk of ships becoming lost or wrecked due to miscalculations. The article outlines the proceedings and debates surrounding Harrison's work including his struggles with the Longitude Board which was reluctant to grant him the full 20000 prize promised under the 1714 Longitude Act. Despite proving the accuracy of his time-keepers Harrison faced political opposition and bureaucratic delays before finally receiving recognition for his achievements. Published at around the same time that Harrison's book of a similar title was published this contemporary 21 page account quotes Harrison extensively and represents the opinions and ideas regarding navigation from the perspective of the time. The whole volume extends to around 600 pages. Bound in modern but not recent brown buckram with a contrasting black leather lettering piece gilt title. Library label to the endpapers stamp on first blank and label to reverse of the title page. The first blank has a hand note stating "Given by Lt.Col. A.R. Hurst". Hurst has served with the Royal Field Artillery in the First World War. The whole volume is very clean with bright pages very firmly bound and in attractive condition. Size: 13.5 x 21 cms.

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

It was Lockyer in the same year that named it 'helium' for Helios the Greek God of the Sun. Helium was not discovered on the earth before 1895 by William Ramsay and it was Crookes who established its identity with the helium Janssen and Lockyer observed in the spectrum of the sun."He Janssen met immortality by travelling to India in 1868 to study the total eclipse. It was then that he observed the helium line and forwarded the spectral data to ockyer. He also noted the size of the solar prominences. The day after the eclipse he attempted to take their spectra again and succeeded despite the absence of the obscuring moon. he then announced jubilantly that it was the day after the eclipse that was the real eclipse day for him. Lockyer also reported this method of studying prominences without an eclipse.Like Lockyer he lived to see his observation of the helium line vindicated by Ramsay's discovery of that element on earth."Asimov."This the discovery of helium lines in the sun by Lockyer was announced on the same day by the French astronomer Janssen who was in India observing a total eclipse. As a result the French government some ten years later struck a medallion showing the heads of both scientists.By that time the two men had made a much more dramatic discovery at the same time this time in cooperation. Janssen studying the spectrum ofthe sun during the eclipse had noted a fine line he did not recognize. he send a report on this to Lockyer an acknowledges expert on solar spectra. Lockyer compared the reported position of the line with lines of known elements concluding that it must belong to a yeat unknown element possibly not even existing on the earth. He named the element from the Greek word for the sun."Asimov.Parkinson "Breakthroughs" 1868 A. - The volume contains other notable papers by Dumas Berthelot et al. </em> hardcover

He did but in a rather unexpected way for he found that the temperature rise was highest in no color at all at a spot beyond the red end of the spectrum.

Entire volume offered. Henry's announcement: pp. 169-70. A stamp to verso of frontispiece Library of Congress duplicate stamp. <br/><br/><em>First printing of this importent paper the first to describe in detail how the phenomena of Self-Induction was discovered. Henry discovered the induction phenomena - how an electric current in one coil may set up a current in the other through the development of the magnetic field - independently of Faraday but Faraday was first to publish on electromagnetic induction. Henry's experiments with induction led him to his importent discovery of SELF-INDUCTION which is the phenomenon in which a change in electric current in a coil produces an induced emf in the coil itself. This phenomenon was also discovered inependently by Faraday but this time Henry had published first. The basic unit of inductance was to be called "the Henry". Relevant to the controversy between Faraday and Henry is the following statement by A D Bache Secretary of the American Philosophical Society introducing an abstract of Henry in J Franklyn Inst. 1835 pp. 169-70 H. Norman 1053 and the paper offerd: "A memoir on this subject has been since submitted to the Society containing an extension of the subject the primary fact in relation to which was observed by Professor Henry as early as 1832 and announced by him in the American Journal of Science. Mr. Faraday having recently entered upon a similar train of observations the immediate publication of the accompanying is important that the prior claims of our fellow countryman may not be overlooked."Spark Museum.Magee "Source Book in Physics" p. 515. </em> hardcover

"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

But he is credited for the discovery of self-induction 1832 and Faraday discovered it independently two years later 1834."In Henry's paper however he explained thet the electric current in a coil can induce another current not only in another coil but in itself. The actual current observed in the coil is then the combination of the original current and the induced current.

Chance sometimes favors the unprepared mind and Hahn who familiarized himself with only the basic of radioactivity followed the prescribed separationss technique and found himself the discovere of a new radioelement: radiothorium. The explanation was that the material given him came from an ore which contained a large percentage of thorium in addition to the radium. Thus upon completion of the chemical procedure not all the activity was confined in the radium-containg fraction; indeed the nes subsyance in the remainder was several hundred thousand times more active than thorium and ultimately yielded the characteristic one.minute halflife of thorium emanation."DSB VI p. 15. - Weeks Discovery of the Elementsp. 308 ff. </em> unknown
