On The Conservation Of Solar Energy: A Collection Of Papers And Discussions

1883035730London: Macmillan And Co. 1883. 1st Edition 1st Printing. Hardcover. Near Fine. Plates. Xx 111 Pp. Salmon Cloth Gilt; Black Endpapers. First Printing. Lightly Used No Fraying Gilt Bright Hinges Very Tight Pages Crisp. Presentation Inscription From The Author To The Duke Of Bedford With An Additional Letter Of 23 April 1883 From Siemens To The Duke Francis Charles Hastings Russell 9Th Duke Of Bedford Kg 1819 -1891 The Dedication Is Dated April 4 1883 2 Pp. An Early British Essay On The Dynamics Of Solar Radiation With Reprinting Of Many Scientific Comments Thereupon. Per Wikipedia Charles William Siemens 1823- Received His Education At The Gymnasium Of Lubeck The Art School Of Madgeburg And The University Of Gottingen. In 1843 He Visited England And Again Came To England To Patent An Invention Becoming Naturalized Subject In 1859. In 1851 Mr. Siemens Introduced His Water-Meter. Between The Years 1856 And 1861 Mr. Siemens In Conjunction With His Brother Frederick Worked Out The Regenerative Gas Furnace. Siemens Became Interested In Telegraph Engineering And In 1858 He Established With His Brother Werner Siemens Mr. Halske Of Berlin And His Brother Carl Siemens The Firm Siemens Halske And Co. With Telegraph Works In London Laying Cable Throughout The World. Siemens Presented Many Scientific Papers To British Societies. His First Paper Was Presented To The Institution Of Civil Engineers On The 17Th Of May 1853 And Was Entitled "On The Conversion Of Heat Into Mechanical Effect." It Was The First Paper Published In Great Britain Which Considered The Subject Of Heat Engines From The Point Of View Of The Mechanical Theory Of Heat And Although A Quarter Of A Century Has Nearly Elapsed Since It Was Read It May Be To-Day Taken As A Guide To The Subjects To Which It Has Reference. Between This Period And 186O He Described His Governor Steam Engine And Water-Meters In Papers To The Institution Of Mechanical Engineers. On The 14Th February 1867 Was Read His Paper "On The Conversion Of Dynamical Into Electrical Force Without The Aid Of Permanent Magnetism" Which Is Peculiarly Interesting As Being The First Scientific Enunciation In The Uk Of The Dynamo-Electric Principle Upon Which The Most Powerful Light Producing Machines Depended. Another Scientific Paper Presented By Him To The Same Society In 1871 "On Electrical Resistance" Was Made The Bakerian Lecture For That Year. It Treats Of A Method Of Measuring Variation Of Temperature By Variation Of Electrical Resistance; And The New Instruments Described In This Paper The Electrical Resistance Thermometer And Pyrometer In Connection With The Differential Voltameter Became Appreciated As Valuable Auxiliaries In Thermometry And In Metallurgical Research. The Society Of Arts Presented Him With Its Gold Medal For His Regenerative Condenser In The Year 1850 And The Institution Of Civil Engineers In The Session 1852-53 With Its Telford Medal For The Paper Already Referred To. In 1851 And 1862 Dr. Siemens Received Prize Medals Of The London Exhibition And In 1867 Was Awarded A Grand Prix At The Universal Exhibition Of Paris For His Regenerative Gas Furnace And Steel Process. In 1869 The Degree Of Doctor Of Civil Law Honoris Causd Was Conferred Upon Him By The University Of Oxford And In 1874 He Received The Royal Albert Medal For His Researches On Heat And For His Metallurgical Processes. In 1875 He Received The Bessemer Medal Of The Iron And Steel Institute "In Recognition Of The Valuable Services He Has Rendered To The Iron And Steel Trades By His Important Inventions And Investigations."

Sir Patrick Moore [Patrick Alfred Caldwell-Moore] (1923-2012), English astronomer and writer and populariser of astronomy [ H DaBiblio.com

Sir Patrick Moore. Typescript with Autograph corrections of 13 scripts for South African radio series title 'Into Space' with version rewritten for publication and four Autograph Letters Signed and Autograph Card Signed to H. David Lloyd.

16571Moore's correspondence on his letterhead Farthings 39 West Street Selsey Sussex. Dated between 11 November 1972 and 5 February 1973. The talks undated but from shortly before this. Collection of eleven items. In fair condition lightly aged and worn. ONE: Typescripts of 13 radio talks. 65pp. 4to. On loose leaves. Titles: 1 'Our Earth in Space'; 2 'Dreams of other Worlds'; 3 'Rockets into Space'; 4 'Man-made Moons'; 5 'Man in Space'; 6 'Space Research and Ourselves'; 7 'Contact with the Moon'; 8 '"One small Step . . . ."'; 9 'Space Stations and Lunar Bases'; 10 'Mariners to Mars'; 11 'Into the Hot Regions'; 12 'The Grand Tour'; 13 'Flight to the Stars'. With a few manuscript emendations by Moore in black felt-tip pen and other editorial emendations. TWO: Version of Item One substantially rewritten for publication. 79pp. folio. On loose leaves. Titles: 1 'Men and the Stars'; 2 'Watchers of the Stars'; 3 'The Sun's Family'; 4 'The Moon World'; 5 'Our Neighbour Planets'; 6 'Giants of the Solar System'; 7 'Wanderers in Space'; 8 'Our Star - The Sun'; 9 'Other Suns'; 10 'Stars of Many Kinds'; 11 'Gas Clouds and Island Universes'; 12 'Beginnings and Endings'; 13 'Life Elsewhere' THREE: Typed 'Foreword' to Item Two by 'Patrick Moore Selsey 1972.' With extensive autograph emendations. The second paragraph of three reads: 'The SABC English Service had invited me to make a short series of broadcasts. This was followed later by a second series; and after that it was suggested that I should present regular weekly broadcasts on astronomical topics. There have been many requests for copies of these talks and the present book has grown out of them. Obviously they have been modified and some of the essentially topical but now outdated references have been removed; but I hope they present a varied and perhaps historical account of events during 1972 a momentous year in astronomical progress.' FOUR to EIGHT: Five Typed Letters Signed all 'Patrick' from Moore to 'Dear David' - H. David Lloyd of the South African Boradcasting Corporation Johannesburg. Totalling six pages. The correspondence concerns the preparation of the talks for publication. In the first letter 11 November 1972 he writes: 'I dropped everything and did my best. I have amended the articles to make them untopical . I have added a Foreword and I have managed to scrape up a picture for each talk.' On 27 November 1972 he writes that he is 'off to America on Monday for Apollo 17 but have arranged two sessions at the BBC this week before I go. I will therefore be well ahead. Wish I could do one direct from Cape kennedy; but it's too risky'. A letter of 15 January 1973 largely devoted to the 'mystery' of tapes of talks despatched by the BBC which have not arrived in South Africa has as postscript: 'Forgive typing. I am used to a 1908 machine and the BBC one is modern!' On 23 January 1973 he asks if anything came of 'the book of the talks As you know I rushed it through before I went to America in December because I gathered it was needed before Christmas; but I haven't heard another thing!! I'd be most grateful if you'd let me know; and if you are NOT publishing them after all I'd be glad to have them back because someone else is very interested in doing them Reid's.' In the last letter 5 February 1973 he discusses the talks expresses relief at the arrival of the tapes and pleasure at the news about the book. He concludes: 'I do hope to see you again this year. I have the pleasantest possible memories of South Africa!' NINE: Autograph Card Signed 'P' by Moore. 11 November 1972. With his Farthings letterhead. He is 'Off to New York for a conference' and has airmailed 'all illustrations . with long letter i.e. Item Four'. 'Back to Selsey on Nov. 24. Have recorded well ahead of course and am recording again on the 26th.' TEN: Typed Note on BBC letterhead from C. Bunyan for Pat Wood of General Features Television. 14 November 1972. 'Patrick Moore has asked me to send you this slide of Tycho's statue for the book.' ELEVEN: Copy of Typed Letter from Lloyd to Moore 'Productions Organiser English Service'. 31 January 1973. Informing him that 'the missing tape was discovered incorrectly filed in our Tape Library at Broadcast House' and that after a delay publication is 'now in progress'. Moore's correspondence on his letterhead, Farthings, 39 West Street, Selsey, Sussex. Dated between 11 November 1972 and 5 Februa unknown
