Clean and fine printed on good paper. <br/><br/><em>First appearance in German - prepared by Faraday himself for publication in Annalen - of two groundbreakings papers in chemistry and physiscs.In the FIRST PAPER 8. Reihe Faraday brings forth the idea "that the atoms of matter are in some way endowed or associated with electrical powers to which they owe their most striking qualities and amongst them their mutual chemical affinity." He showed how natural it is to suppose that the electricity which passes through the electrolyte is exact equivaklent of that which is possessed by the atoms separated at the electrode: which implies that there is A CERTAIN ABSOLUTE QUANTITY OF THE ELECTRIC POWER ASSOCIATED WITH EACH ATOM OF MATTER.- Faraday further verifies that the electricity of the violtaic pile is proportionate in its intensity to the intensity of the affinities concerned in its production. - Dealing with the the decompositions in electrolysis he shows that THE FORCES TERMED CHEMICAL AFFINITY AND ELECTRICITY ARE THE SAME.In the SECOND PAPER 9. Reihe Faraday independent of Henry's discovery of the same phenomena in 1832 discovers SELF-INDUCTION or the "extra current" and points out the importent influence it must have in the construction of electro-magnetic machines electro-motors."Faraday showed that the powerful momentary current which was observed when the circuit was interrupted was really an induced current governed by the same laws as all other induced currents but with this peculiarity that the induced and inducing current now flowed in the same circuit. In fact the current in its steady state establishes in the surrounding region a magnetic field whose lines of force are linked with the circuit; and teh removal of these lines of forcewhen the circuit is broken originates an induced current which reatly reinforces the primary current just before its final extinction."Whittaker in "A History of the Aether and Electricity""In the series of experiments which are detailed in this paper the author inquires into the causes of some remarkable phenomena relating to the action of an electrical current upon itself under certain circumstances wherby its intensity is highly exalted and occasionally increased to ten twenty or even fifty times that which it originally possessed."Abstract. </em> unknown

First edition, [2], 80pp., folding engraved plate, closed tear in final leaf, expertly repaired and no loss of text. 2 works bound as one, 8vo (200 x 120 mm), modern vellum-backed marbled boards, spine lettered in gilt, a nice copy. Watson was the most distinguished name in this period of the history of electricity, and this was his principal work. He was the first to observe the flash of light attending the discharge of a Leyden jar, and he provided the first demonstration of the passage of electricity through a vacuum, and the plus and minus of electricity.

Petites brunissures à quelques cahiers, petites traces de poussière dans les marges, mais très bel exemplaire tel que paru, à toutes marges, non rogné et complet de ses six planches h.t. Exemplaire avec un envoi autographe de l'auteur à un ami, E. Bonafons. Joseph Izarn (1766-1847) était médecin de l'armée française et professeur de physique. De 1811 à 1815 il fut inspecteur général de l'Université. Son ouvrage trace une histoire du galvanisme et, à partir des expériences de Volta, galvani, Aldini et d'autres, décrit les appareils galvaniques et les inventions de l'époque et leur possible utilisation dans la médecine. "... je mets le lecteur à portée de prendre le Galvanisme à son origine, de le suivre, pas à pas, d'expérience en expérience, de découverte en découverte, et de voir les modifications et les applications que l'on a su faire. Je lui montre les pierres d'attente qu'ont laissées nos prédécesseurs dans plusieurs points de l'édifice. Ce plan est donc, à la fois, celui d'une Histoire et d'un Traité Pratique du Galvanisme". "Le Galvanisme ne viendra pas renverser le cours de la nature... mail il peut être très utilement employé pour l'espèce humaine, dans beaucoup de circonstances qu'il ne s'agit que de bien observer pour bien décrire, pour les rendre faciles à reconnaitre, et pour les distinguer de celles ou il pourrait devenir très-nuisible". "... le Galvanisme, n'eut-il été jusqu'ici d'aucune utilité pour l'art de guérir, n'en sera pas moins encore le chemin de grandes découvertes et qu'il est impossible que les expériences se multiplient et soient variées dans des vues différentes, sans qu'elles donnent des résultats propres à étendre les bornes de nos connaissances physiques, chimiques et physiologiques". Provenance : Envoi autographe de l'auteur à un ami, E. Bonafons. Conservé à l'intérieur du livre un billet manuscrit de l'auteur avec une demande d'un petit prêt à l'ami.

Clean and fine. <br/><br/><em>First printing of this groundbreaking paper being the first description of the principles governing the "BRAUN TUBE" which moves the elctron beams of alternating voltage the principle on which ALL TELEVISON TUBES operate. - Braun shared the Nobel Prize for 1909 with Marconi "in recognition of their contributions to the development of wireless telegraphy"."Cold cathode tube with side anode annular diaphragm to control spot size and built-in fluorescent screen. Beam deflection by one external coil with the trace viewed indirectly in a rotating mirror or by two coils at right angles for direct viewing. Excitation by hand-drive influence machine friction generator or by an induction coil. This "indicator tube" which enabled Braun to demonstrate how a variety of periodic and transient electrical phenomena could be visually examined is the ancestor of electric oscilloscopes televison picture tubes and other electron-beam display devices." Shiers & Shiers "Early Televison. A Bibliography to 1940" No. 263."The first oscilloscope or Braun tube was introduced in 1897. In order to study high-frequency alternating currents Braun used the alternating voltageto move the electron beam within the cathode tube. The trace on the face of the cathode tube represented the amplitude and frequency of the alternating-current voltage. He then produced a graph of this trace by use of a rotating mirror. The Braun tube was a valuable laboratory instrument and modifications of it are a basic devise in electronic testing and research. The principle of the Braun tube moving a electron beam by means of alternating voltage is the principle on which all televison operate."DSB II pp. 427-428.In 1909 he shared the Nobel Prize for physics with Guglielmo Marconi for their development of wireless telegraphy. </em> unknown

The German publication was printed in the same year as the Italian original "Sull' identita del Fluido Elettrico col Fluide Galvanico" 1802."A long memoir by Volta in two parts.reports that by measuring the electrometer deflections with different pairs of metals he found that the forces which drive the electric fluid.from the first metal to the second are: silver/copper 1 copper/iron 2 iron/thin 3 lead/tin 1 lead/zinc 5. Then the force for silver/zinc in immidiate contact is 12 12315 copper/tin 5 = 32 iron/zinc 9 513 etc. Thus 'the force or impulsion with which two metals act on the electric fluid is equal to the sum of the forces of the series of metals which stands between them and.the electric force is the same as that which arises when the two extreme metals have no effect on the force of the latter'. This is the first statement of what Maxwell called 'Volta'slaw of contact electricity'."Partington IV p.15. </em> unknown
