1867039052Cambridge / Washington: Welch Bigelow And Company 1860 / Washington Observations For 1865 1867 1867. 1st Edition 1st Printing. Hardcover. Very Good . Pp 123-1520; 29Pp. The First Paper Is An Offprint Of An Article In The Memoirs Of The American Academy New Series Vol V 1860 Preserving The Prited Cover With Title Etc.; The Second Paper Is Extracted From Washington Obervations For 1865 1867. The Two Papers Were Bound Together As Part Of A Larger Compilation. Simon Newcomb 1835 -1909 Was A Canadian-American Astronomer Applied Mathematician And Autodidactic Polymath. Newcomb Visited Paris France In 1870 Already Aware That The Table Of Lunar Positions Calculated By Peter Andreas Hansen Was In Error. While In Paris He Realized That In Addition To The Data From 1750 To 1838 That Hansen Had Used There Was Further Data Stretching As Far Back As 1672 And Newcomb Used The "New" Data To Revise Hansen's Tables. In 1878 Newcomb Started Planning For A New And Precise Measurement Of The Speed Of Light Starting Development A Refinement Of The Method Of Léon Foucault. A Letter From Albert Abraham Michelson Began A Long Collaboration And Friendship. In 1880 Michelson Assisted At Newcomb's Initial Measurement But Michelson Left To Start His Own Project. Miichelson Published His First Measurement In 1880 But Newcomb's Measurement Was Substantially Different And In 1883 Michelson Revised His Measurement To A Value Closer To Newcomb's. In 1881 Newcomb Discovered The Statistical Principle Now Known As Benford's Law Formulating The Principle That In Any List Of Numbers Taken From An Arbitrary Set Of Data More Numbers Will Tend To Begin With "1" Than With Any Other Digit.I N 1891 Within Months Of Seth Carlo Chandler's Discovery Of The 14-Month Variation Of Latitude Now Referred To As The Chandler Wobble Newcomb Explained The Apparent Conflict Between The Observed Motion And Predicted Period Of The Wobble As Due To Elasticiity; He Used The Variation Of Latitude Observations To Estimate The Elasticity Of Earth Finding It To Be Slightly More Rigid Than Steel. He Wrote On Economics And His Principles Of Political Economy 1885 Was Described By John Maynard Keynes As "One Of Those Original Works Which A Fresh Scientific Mind Not Perverted By Having Read Too Much Of The Orthodox Stuff Is Able To Produce From Time To Time In A Half-Formed Subject Like Economics." He Was Credited By Irving Fisher With The First-Known Enunciation Of The Equation Of Exchange Between Money And Goods Used In The Quantity Theory Of Money. His Reputation Suffers From His Hostility To C. S. Pierce And Also From Newcomb's Disbelief In The Possibility Of Manned Flight.

"Sir John Herschel, Pubblicazione completa delle Nuove scoperte Nel cielo australe e nella luna Traduzione dal francese Presso Lorenzo Sonzogno, Milano 1836, cm 22,5x14,5, pp. 104, brossura ed. d'attesa. Condizioni di conservazione Esemplare in buone condizioni con qualche piccola lieve brunitura, brossure leggermente sgualcite ai margini, con una piccola pieghetta a tre angoli, margine inf. con una piccola lievissima ombra di gora che interessa alcune pagine ma mai il testo, dorso con una minuscola mancanza. Interni ancora intonsi. Interessantissima pubblicazione di carattere astronomico, nella quale sono raccolti alcuni frammenti e considerazioni che l'Herschel ha redatto durante le sue osservazioni della volta celeste dal Sudafrica, e della Luna. Notevoli e curiosi i caratteri "fantastici" che la suddetta opera assume in determinate sezioni, in particolare nei frammenti relativi alla selenografia e alle presunte "razze lunari" (vedi foto indice situato alla brossura anteriore). Rarissima edizione Sonzogno del 1836. Interni ancora intonsi. SETT102.L9739 N "
