187317254St. Louis: np 1873. Frontispiece plate showing the apparatus. 1 vols. 8vo. Plain salmon wrappers some fading and marginal tears 7 pages of text. From the library of William H. Brewer the chemist who has signed his name on the upper wrapper and marked a few places in the text. Frontispiece plate showing the apparatus. 1 vols. 8vo. Casselberry's discovery was a less expensive method of decomposing liquids. He used electricity and during his experiments found that two decomposing cells attached to a galvanic battery or magneto-electric machine will generate twice the gas as a single cell. Prior to Casselberry's experiment it had been assumed that the resulting gas would be half as much as the electricity would be split into the two cells. This small pamphlet has no imprint information it was likely a small run probably for private distribution among colleagues. Decomposing liquids with Electricity. <br/><br/> np unknown

Titlepage with 2 small wormtracts. <br/><br/><em>First appearance of a milestone paper in the history of electricity as Aepinus here found that a heated tourmaline attracted and repelled light bodies. He decided that the effect was electrical and that its ends was carrying charges of opposite sign much as soft iron is magnetized by a lodestone. This paper is a forerunner of his "Tentamen Theoriae electricitatis et magnetismi" - published 1759 and one of the most original and important books in the history of electricity. It is the first reasoned fruitful exposition of electrical phenomena based on action-at-a-distance."Aepinus’ first reseraches on the thermoelectric properties of this stone Tourmalin which was then of extreme rarity were fundamental. He recognized the electrical nature of the attractive power of a warmed tourmaline and attempted not altogether successfully to reduce its apparent capriciousness to rule. He was particularly struck by the formal similarity between the tourmaline and the magnet in regard to polarity which inspired him to reconsider the possibility then occasionally discussed that electricity and magnetism were basically analogous. This thought became the This thought became the theme for his masterwork Tentamen theoriae electricitatis et magnetismi 1759."DSB."Aepinus is known in the history of electricity for his attempt to develop the one fluid theory of Franklin. His theory was for a while generally adopted but was gradually displaced by the two fluid theory in consequence chiefly of the necessity of ascribing to uncharged matter repulsions of the same force as those which were ascribed to electrical charges. His theory exhibits interesting similarities to the present theory of the constitution of matter"Magie "A Source Book in Physics" pp.406-8.Ronalds p. 4. </em> unknown

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
