1822317111822. Paris Méquignon-Marvis 1822 8° 3 91 II pp. 33 Fig. untrimmed in contemporary brochure; preserved in halfleather book box; fine copy. First Edition of a scare and early publication on electricity and magnetism "A very valuable Treatise' Mottelay. 'In a four page circular letter dated Copenhagen July 21st 1820 H.C. Oersted communicated his great discovery that a closed voltaic circuit exerts forces on an adjacent magnetic needle. In more modern language: a current-carrying electric circuit gives rise to magnetic forces in its surroundings. Oersted had found the long sought affinity between electricity and magnetism' Ekelöf Catalogue of Books and Papers in Electricity and Magnetism p. 286. 'Scarcely had the news of Oersted's discovery reached France when a French philosopher Ampère set to work to develop the important consequences which it involved. Physicists had long been looking for the connection between magnetism and electricity and had perhaps inclined to the view that electricity was somehow to be explained as a magnetic phenomenon. It was in fact under the influence of such ideas that Oersted was led to his discovery. Ampère showed that the explanation was to be found in an opposite direction. He discovered the ponderomotive action of one electric current on another and by a series of well-chosen experiments he established the elementary laws of electro-dynamic action starting from which by a brilliant train of mathematical analysis he not only evolved the complete explanation of all the electro-magnetic phenomena observed before him but predicted many hitherto unknown. The results of his researches may be summarized in the statement that an electric current in a linear circuit of any form is equivalent in its action whether on magnets or other circuits to a magnetic shell bounded by the circuit whose strength at every point is constant and proportional to the strength of the current. By his beautiful theory of molecular currents he gave a theoretical explanation of that connection between electricity and magnetism which had been the dream of previous investigators . "Oersted" remarks Babinet "was the Christopher Columbus of magnetism; Ampère became its Pizarro and its Fernando Cortez"' Mottelay Bibliographical History of Electricity and Magnetism p. 474. Ampère's collaborator in the present publication Jacques Babinet 'did excellent work in different areas of physics. He was an early advocate of the wave theory of light and produced important results in the theory of refraction' Ekelöf p. 287. An additional interesting aspect of the present paper is a first outline of Ampère's ideas concerning an electric telegraph p. 71. The work is in fact an offprint from the Supplement to the French translation of Thomas Thompson's System of Chemistry: Système de Chimie. Traduit . par J. Riffault. The supplement is entitled: Supplément . présentant ce qui a été fait de nouveau dans cette science . depuis l'époque 1819 où cette traduction a paru Paris 1822 see Cole 1283. In the supplement the text of Ampère and Babinet occupies pp. 163-256. Overmier and Senior p. 127; not in Gartrell or Wheeler Gift. hardcover

In physics the term solenoid refers to a long thin loop of wire often wrapped around a metallic core which produces a magnetic field when an electric current is passed through it. Solenoids are important because they can create controlled magnetic fields and can be used as electromagnets.

Ampère's papers: pp. 88-106 pp. 313-333 The plates depicts experimental arrangements and Ampère's initial Rotation Apparatus. <br/><br/><em>Fisrt edition and first printings of the demonstrations of Ampere's new Equilibrium technique. When Faraday had completed his importent paper on Electro-magnetic motions he send it to Ampere. Ampere invented the Rotation Apparatus in order to repeat Faraday's experiment on the electro-magnetic rotation. He produced an uninterrupted rotation either of magnetic pole around a wire or of a wire around a magnetic pole. From these experiments originated a new theory of electricity and magnetism. . </em> unknown
