182044807Paris Crochard 1820. No wrappers as extracted fron 'Annales de Chimie et de Physique' Volume 15 2e Series. Pp. 93-102. <br/><br/><em>First appearance of this importent paper in which Arago gives an account of his discovery of how iron and steel could be magnetized by the action of the voltaic current THE FIRST STEP TOWARDS THE ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH. "Arago . made several important contributions to electromagnetism on his own. On 20 September 1820 he announced the discovery of the temporary magnetization of soft iron by an electric current which suggested to Ampère a theory about the nature of magnetic "currents" and provided the technological key to the electric telegraph. Ampère calculated that the magnetic power could be multiplied by twisting the current-carrying wire into a helix and with Arago he carried out the first experiments on primitive solenoids. In his historical articles Arago was always careful to credit Ampère with the major share of this discovery which ultimately depended upon Ampère’s mathematical theory."DSB.Arago formed a close freinship with Fresnelwhose views on the nature of light he ardently supported. He assisted Fresnel in some of his most importent work and made original discoveries in the same field.Magie "A Source Book in Physics" p. 443 ff. </em> unknown

LXVIII3333 pp. and 1 folded engraved plate showing his experimental apparatus. Light browning to margins of title-page otherwise clean and with broad margins. A fine copy. <br/><br/><em>First French edition of perhaps the most important work in plant physiology. It is in this work that Ingen-Housz for the first time expounds the ideas and experiments that lead to his discovery of Photosynthesis in plant life and as such it is of fundamental importance in the economy of living things. "His Experiments upon vegetables was published in the autumn of 1779 and was at once recognized as a very important advance. In brief he showed that oxygen evolution by plant is absolutely dependent on light and that it only occurs from those parts which are green.The proof that light and green tissues are both essential for oxygen production finally cleared up the apparent contradictions and variable results of earlier experiments. Priestly was "much pleased" with Ingen-Housz's experiments and pointed immediately to the salient facts that he had established." A.G. Morton: History of Botanical Science. p. 332.

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
