18202667Paris: Crochard 1820. First edition. Half-calf. Very Good. THE ORIGINS OF ELECTROMAGNETISM. AMPÈRE'S FIRST DISCUSSION OF THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN ELECTRIC CURRENT-FLOW AND MAGNETISM. Ampère often worked by publishing his ideas chiefly in Annales de chimie et de physiques at times as much as once a week. When he had further thoughts on the topic he would publish revisions. The "first great memoir on electrodynamics" the present paper is the seed of what would become a series of papers "establishing the laws of forces acting between conductors carrying current" DSB p. 144; Dibner Heralds 62. In this - the first appearance of Ampère's discussion of electric current-flow as it relates to magnetism - Ampère effectively establishes a new field of science and paves the way for developments in electrodynamics.<br /> <br /> In this volume the original periodical publication Ampère's discussion begins on pp. 59-76 and continues on pp. 170-218.<br /> <br /> AMPÈRE ANDRÉ MARIE.

Ampere's paper: pp. Some scattered brownspots. <br/><br/><em>First appearance of Amperes second paper on molecular physics."The noumenal aspect of chemistry fascinated Ampère. Although his derivation of Avogadro’s law came three years after Avogadro had enunciated it the law is known today in France as the Avogadro-Ampère law. This was Ampère’s first excursion into molecular physics and was followed almost immediately by a second. In 1815 he published a paper demonstrating the relation between Mariotte’s Boyle’s law and volumes and pressures of gases at the same temperature. The paper is of some interest as a pioneer effort along with Laplac’s great papers on capillarity in the application of Mathematical analysis to the molecular realm."DSB.The volume contains 3 importent papers by Jean-Baptiste Biot on polarisation of light and Berzelius "Experiences pour déterminer les proportions définies dans lequelles les élémens de la nature organique sont combinés" "Suite." 1-2 pp. 5-33 pp. 170-190 a. pp. 296-232 </em> unknown

All 4 papers having some scattered brownspots. <br/><br/><em>First appearance of Ampere's notable memoir issued in 4 parts in which he tries to set up a classification system for the elementary entities in chemistry tieing the elements together in a natural classification a dim foreshadowing of the periodic table."Here in the paper offered he drew attention to the similarities between Lavoisier's and his fellowers classification of elements in terms of their reactions with oxygen and Linnaeus' classification of plants in terms of their sexual organs. Bernard de Jussieu had successfully challenged Linnaeus with a natural system that took the whole plant into account and sought affinities between all parts of the plant not just the flowers as the basic classification. Ampère now wished to do the same thing for chemistry. By discovering a natural classification i.e. one that tied the elements together by real and rather than artificial relations Ampère hoped to prove a new insight into chemical reactions. His classificatory scheme therefore was not merely an ordering ofthe elements but like the later periodic table of Dimitri Mendeleev a true instrument of chemical research. Ampères system was as artificial as Lavoisier's.Thepapermay be noted however as an early attempt to find relationships between elements that would bring some order into the constantly growing number of elementary bodies."DSB I p. 143. </em> unknown
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.
