1771AMO-3382Traité de l’électricité dans lequel on expose, et on démontre par expérience, toutes les découvertes électriques, faites jusqu'à ce jour, pour servir de suite aux Leçons de Physique du même auteur. Par M. Sigaud de La Fond, professeur de Mathématiques, Démonstrateur de Physique Expérimentale, de la Société Royale des Sciences de Montpellier, des Académies des Sciences et Belles-Lettres d'Angers, Electorale de Bavière, etc. A Paris, chez Des Ventes de la Doué, 1771 1 volume in-12 (18,5 x 11 cm) de (2)-XXX-413-(3) pages + 12 planches dépliantes reliées à la fin. Cartonnage d'attente plein papier brut, trace de titre à l'encre au dos, ficelles apparentes. Non rogné. Cartonnage fragile par nature resté en très bon état. Ficelles intérieures un peu lâches en tête du volume. Edition originale. On trouve dans cet ouvrage les chapitres suivants : De la manière d'électriser les corps. Des globes de verre. Des machines de rotation. De la manière d'électriser les corps an-électriques. Du feu électrique. Des aigrettes électriques. L'intensité de la vertu électrique. De l'expérience de Leyde. De l'imperméabilité du verre à la matière électrique. De l'analogie avec le tonnerre, avec la matière magnétique. Des effets de l'électricité dans le vide, sur différents substances, sur l'économie animale, etc. Les protocoles des différentes expériences sont très détaillés. Les planches hors-texte montrent les différents instruments ayant servi à réaliser les différentes expériences. Une seconde édition a paru en 1776. Joseph-Aignan Sigaud de Lafond est né le 5 janvier 1730 et mort le 26 janvier 1810 à Bourges. Il fut un physicien et enseignant français qui a été, avec son maître l'abbé Nollet, l'un des promoteurs de la physique expérimentale et de son enseignement, notamment en créant les premiers « cabinets de physique ». Son père était horloger. Son Traité de l'électricité publié en 1771 est une référence dans ce domaine de la science. A partir de 1773, Sigaud délègue ses cours du collège à son neveu, Rouland. Il a alors tout le loisir de se consacrer à son cabinet de physique sans pour autant abandonner totalement l’enseignement puisque, comme le signale plusieurs publicités. Il continue d’écrire pour présenter ses travaux. En 1775, sont publiés les deux volumes de la Description et Usage d’un cabinet de physique expérimentale. Ils seront réédités en 1784 et complétés par les Éléments de physique théorique et expérimentale en 1777. Très réalistes, les splendides gravures de Sigaud de La Fond sont déjà moins théâtralisées que celles de l'abbé Nollet et augurent ce que seront le dessin industriel et l'appareil de laboratoire du XIXème siècle. Plus encore, l'œuvre de Sigaud a profondément révolutionné les sciences physiques et leur enseignement, les faisant devenir science et discipline à part entière, en même temps que l'expérience gagnait définitivement ses lettres de noblesse. Ce sont là les prémisses de la science "moderne". Très bon exemplaire conservé à toutes marges dans son fragile cartonnage de l'époque.

Some interesting experiments are described with vacuum tubes also on the influence of electric charges on the growth of plants." Wheeler 355 but not listing this edition. - Poggendorff II:296."Nollet's system effluence and affluence was much superior to earlier theories of double flux. such as Moliere's or Hauksbee's. A cheif difficulty with them as with the theory of pulsating atmospheres had been to explain why attraction occurs first.follwed by contact and then repulsion. Nollet answered that the effluent and affluent flows differ not only in direction but in velocity and spatial distribution as well.The effluent stream consists of many jets each of which spreads out into a cone with apex at one of the scattered exit pores. The affluent current being a hodgepodge of differently directed effluent streams is approximately isotropic."Heilbron p. 284 </em> hardcover

17893582Rome:: nella stamperia Salomoni 1789. FIRST EDITION. Octavo:. 20.5 x 140 cm. 2 xxxvi p. This is a beautiful copy in contemporary red pasteboard with gold floral impressions and decorative paste-paper pastedowns. The text printed on thick paper is in excellent condition. A very fresh copy. The engraved title-page has a vignette of the Quirinale palace in Rome with the lightning conductor installed on its roof. Rare. 5 copies in North America: Burndy Harvard Huntington Smithsonian American Philosophical Association. First edition of this rare publication dealing with the construction of the lightning conductor installed on the Quirinal Palace in Rome in order to prevent further damage from lightning strikes. Calandrelli discusses the electrical experiments of other well-known scientists such as Priestley Toaldo Landriani De Saussure Reccaria Lord Malion and above all those of Benjamin Franklin including Franklin's iconic kite experiment of June 1752. The kite experiment is described on pages 2-3. On pages 4 and 5 credit is given to Franklin who understood that electricity prefers metal to all other materials as a conductor for the invention of the lightning rod "to protect buildings from fatal lightning strikes". This invention Calandrelli asserts should be of interest to all but especially to those who live in North America "where storms are more frequent and more severe." Franklin's observations of the lightning rods erected by William Maine in South Carolina and of William West in Philadelphia are also included in Calandrelli's account.

He formulates the two-fluid theory of electricity. He further showed that "not all bodies can become electrified themselves" by friction and went on to show "that they can all acquire a considerable electrical virtue when the tube of rubbed glass wood metals or liquids are brought near them" provided only that they are insulated by beiing stood on "a support of glass or of sealing-wax".Dufay "TRANSFORMED A COLLECTION OF MISCELLANEOUS WEEDS INTO THE FIRST GARDEN OF EUROPE" Heilbron"Dufay's substantive discoveries - ACR the two electricities shocks and sparking - are but one aspect and perhaps not the most significant of his achievement. His insistence on the impiortence of the subject on the universal character of electricity on the necessity of organizing digesting and regulariizing known facts before grasping new ones all helped to introduce order and professionel standards into the study of electricity at precisely the moment when the accumulation of data began to require them. He foundthe subject a record of often capricious disconnected phenomena the domain of the polymaths textbook writers and prfesional lecturers and left a body of knowledge that invited and rewarded prolonged scrutinity from serious physicists."

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
