The term 'electron' which had previously been used to denote the 'elementary charge' was soon adopted as the name of the new particle.

Titlepage with minor light browning at corners. Internally clean. A small stamp on verso of titlepage. <br/><br/><em>First appearance of this seminal paper in its full version from "Transactions" representing the announcement of Maxwell's final "Theory of Gases" and introduces the "Maxwell Distribution" in its final form a statistical means of describing aspects of the kinetic theory of gases a theory together with his electromagnetic theory are considered to be SOME OF THE GREATEST ADVANCES IN PHYSICS OF ALL TIMES. Everett considers this paper 1868 to be Maxwell's greatest single paper. Maxwell's discoveries laid the foundations of special relativity and quantum mechanics.One of Maxwell's major investigations was on the kinetic theory of gases. Originating with Daniel Bernoulli this theory was advanced by the successive labours of John Herapath John James Waterston James Joule and particularly Rudolf Clausius to such an extent as to put its general accuracy beyond a doubt; but it received enormous development from Maxwell who in this field appeared as an experimenter on the laws of gaseous friction as well as a mathematician.In 1866 he formulated statistically independently of Ludwig Boltzmann the Maxwell-Boltzmann kinetic theory of gases. His formula called the Maxwell distribution gives the fraction of gas molecules moving at a specified velocity at any given temperature. In the kinetic theory temperatures and heat involve only molecular movement. This approach generalized the previously established laws of thermodynamics and explained existing observations and experiments in a better way than had been achieved previously. Maxwell's work on thermodynamics led him to devise the Gedankenexperiment thought experiment that came to be known as Maxwell's demon. </em> unknown

Entire issue in orig. wrappers. Savart's paper: pp. 113-172 and 3 folded engraved plates. <br/><br/><em>First printing of a pioneer paper on the acoustics of the violin and on the construction of the Trapezoidal Fiddle."In his earliest work Savart gave the first explanation of the function of certain parts of the violin. To learn how vibrations are transmitted from the strings to the rest of the instrument he induced vibrations in a free wood plate by passing a vibrating string over a bridge at its center; he also used Chladni’s sand-pattern technique to observe the resulting nodal lines. Savart showed that the bridge transmits the string’s vibrations; that the plate can be made to vibrate at any frequency; and that the corresponding mode is a modification of an unforced mode. He demonstrated that the sound post also serves to transmit vibrations and he explained that it therefore should not be placed under a nodal line. Thinking that symmetry and regularity would produce the best tone Savart built a trapezoidal violin with rectangular sound holes. When the instrument was played before a committee that included Biot the Composer Cherubini and other members of the Academy of Sciences and the Académie des Beaux-Arts its tone was judged as extremely clear and even but somewhat subdued."DSB.The issue also contains Eilhard Mitscherlich' famous paper in the first French version "Sur la Relation qui existe entre la forme cristalline et les proportions chimiques" pp. 172-190. </em> unknown
