His study of light was a dynamic interplay between theory and observation between mathematics and experiment. - The offered series also comprises the contributions from Arago and the rapports from The French Academy's committees by Ampère Biot and Fourier - see below nos. 6111415a.nd 18."From the point of view of method his investigations extended from the manual operations of the laboratory to the most abstract mathematical analyses. Few physicists since Newton had been so versatile."Silliman in "Historical Studies in the Physical Sciences" vol. 4 p. 155."The wave-thory at this time was still encumbered with difficulties. Diffraction was not satisfactorily explained; for polarization no explanation of any kind was forthcoming; the Huygenian construction appeared to require two different luminiferous media within double refracting bodies; and the universality of that construction had been impugned by Brewster's discovery of biaxial crystals. The upholders of the emission theory emboldened by the success of Laplace's theory of double refraction thought the time ripe for their final triunph; and as a step to this in March 1817 they proposed Diffration as the subject of the Academy's prize for 1818. Their expectation was disappointed; and the successful memoir afforded the first of a series of reverses of which in the short space of seven years the corpuscular theory was completely owerthrown. The author was Augustin Fresnel."Whittaker "A History of the Theories of Aether & Electricity" vol. 1 p.107 ff."This concept of transverse waves met with the greatest hostility from the scientists of the day who could not imagine an extremely fluid and rarified ether which at the same time possessed the mechanical properties of a rigid body. Even Arago admitted that he could not follow the exuberant engineer in his ideas. ButFresnel was convinced that at last he had the key to many mysteries and with his model of waves he gave a full clarification of the phenomena of polarization. With insuperable precision he explained a long series of extremely complicated experiments such as those of chromatic polarization that Arago himself had discovered by chance in 1811 and which the followers of Newton could not explain in spite of all their efforts. Following this line Fresnel reached the synthesis which is his masterpiece.we must recall the final interpretation that he gave of the famous phenomenon of partial reflection by transparent surfaces that simple phenomenon which until then had puzzled Grimaldi Newton and Huygens and which in Malus's experiments had unexpectedly acquired a special importencee as it had been compared to the great mystery of double refraction."Ronchi "The Nature of Light" p. 255 ff.Comprising:1.

Bound in contemporary half calf with gilt spine Raised bands. Minor scratches to spine. Corners a bit bumped. Five engraved plates accompanying the memoires. Clean and fine. <br/><br/><em>First edition of the first announcement of Ampère's discoveries on electromagnetism. Ampère first heard of Ørsted's discovery of electromagnetism on the 4th of September when Arago announced Ørsted's results to the Paris Academy of Sciences. In Ørsted's experiment a current-carrying wire is held over and under a compass needle - the result being that the needle is positioned at 45 degrees in respect to the wire. Ampére immediately saw that this result made no physical sense and realized that the true nature of the effect could not be observed until the force of terrestrial magnetism was somehow neutralized; what Ørsted had observed and reported on was the resultant of the force from the wire and that from the earth's magnetic field. Ampère discovered that the compass needle sets at 90 degrees to the current-carrying wire when the effect of terrestial magnetism is eliminated. He also observed that current-carrying wires which are formed as spirals act as permanent magnets and this lead him to his theory that electricity in motion produces magnetism and that permanent magnets must contain electrical currents. And thus Ampère laid the foundation of the new field of electrodynamics. Ampère announced his theory and experimental results for the first time in a series of memoires read before the Paris Academy of Sciences in September and October 1820.

Plus plate number 4 in the rear which illustrates the articles. Boards. Ampere is today celebrated for his fundamental work in the new field of electrodynamics. The three part paper offered here established “the relationship between electric current-flow and magnetism and established the new science of electrodynamics.†Norman <br /> <br /> “In a four page circular dated Copenhagen July 21st 1820 H.C. Orsted 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. Orsted had found the long sought affinity between electricity and magnetism. The letter reached Arago … who at the next meeting of Academie des Sciences on Sept. 11th 1820 with Ampere in attendance presented the letter and Orsted's experiment. It was indeed a memorable meeting. Already at the next weekly meeting on Sept. 18th Ampere delivered an explanation of Orsted's experiment and supported it with new experiments of his own. At every weekly meeting in the following months Ampere produced new results.†Ekelof<br /> <br /> 'In this first paper Sept. 18 he explains the law determining the position of the magnetic needle in relation to the electric current and he also makes known his intended experiments with spiral of helical wires which he predicts will acquire and retain the properties of magnets so long as the electrical current flows through them He constructed his spirals and helices and to the astonishment of all he produced magnets formed only of spools of copper wire traversed by electric currents.' Mottelay<br /> <br /> The Honeyman sale #82 notes that the paper offered here is "The first appearance of the first of a series of important papers reporting Ampere's discoveries on the electric current." Honeyman also had #83 the first separate appearance of these journal articles published as "Memoires sur l'Action mutuelle de deux courans electriques." which we believe had additional information not present in this journal appearance and hence is not a traditional "offprint" but a later state of the work. Norman notes that Ampere developed the science of electrodynamics over the next seven years publishing in a "bewildering array of journal articles offprints and revisions of earlier works.further noting some 'reprints' of Ampere's articles appear in as many as five different versions."<br /> <br /> This is an opportunity to own the original first printed appearance of Ampere's fundamentally important work in Electrodynamics. It would be an interesting collection to build the variations of Ampere's work over those seven years to see how his thought evolved. As far as we are aware there is no standard bibliographic reference for Ampere's work.<br /> <br /> LITERATURE<br /> Dibner Heralds of Science 62 first separate edition<br /> Honeyman Sale 82 original journal appearance<br /> Mottelay Bibliographical History of Electricity and Magnetism p. 472<br /> Norman 43 first separate edition. <br /> Ekelof Catalogue of Books and Papers in Electricity and Magnetism pp 284-286<br /> Sparrow Milestones of Science p33 first separate edition.
