Clean and fine. <br/><br/><em>First appearance of Le Verrier's provisional theory on the motion of Mercury his studies of which eventually did much to demonstrate the validity of Einstein's Theory of Relativity. The planetary orbits should agree with the predictions of the General Theory of relativity but as Einstein pointed out in his "Erklärung der Perihelbewegung des Merkurs aus der allgemeinen Relativitätstheorie" from 1915 the divergences predicted were too small to be observed except in the case of the nearest planet Mercury where the perihelion advance according to the formula reaches the value of 43"" per 100 years being in full agreement with the calculations of Le Verrier who found this unexplained rest in the perihelion advance of Mercury per century if the perturbations due to the other planets are deduced.- Einstein tells in a letter to a friend that for several days he was in a 'state of delirious joy' by this wonderful astronomical confirmation of his theory."Le Verrier first began to study Mercury on the suggestion of Arago in 1840. Astronomers realized that Mercury's perihelion the point at which the orbit of a planet is closest to the sun advanced along its orbit at a rate of 566 seconds per century. Le Verrier calculated that even when taking into account the forces exerted by other planets in the solar system there still existed a discrepancy between calculation and observation. Le Verrier's accurate calculations showed that the planet's perihelion.did indeed advance forty seconds of an arc per century more than could be accounted for by Newton's theory of gravitation even after the minor pertubing effects of the other planets had been allowed for." Asimov. - Le verrier published these findings in the present work carefully as to the mass of the planet comparison with other orbits of planets and their perihelia. At the time Le Verrier put down the discrepancy to mis-observation or mis-calculation.- Sparrow Milestones of Science No. 133. </em> unknown

"His Inleding till chemien 1798 was the first Swedishlanguage textbook written in the spirit of the new combustion theory. Although he accepted the phlogiston theory early in his career Gadolin attempted to understand Lavoisier’s ideas. In a paper published in 1788 he tried to define phlogiston and admitted that the French explanation of combustion was superior to some phlogiston theories but for a long time he was not wholly converted. His lectures always made use of the new chemistry and he eventually became the spokesman in Scandinavia for Lavoisier’s nomenclature and combustion theory often encountering Berzelius opposition."DSB.Poggendorff I 827. - Neville I p. 496. </em> unknown

Akad. Wissensch. zu Berlin"."By invoking the hypothesis of natural radiation Planck not only succeeded in obtaining a relation between the energy of the resonator and the intensity of radiation for a given wavelength or frequency but also in defining the entropy of radiation by a proper expression such that the change of the total entropy was always a positive quantity". Mehra Jagdish. The historical development of quantum theory 2001 p. 36. These results found in the period 1894-00 culminated in the present paper "Ueber irreversible Strahlungsvorgänge" and for the first time incorporates the concept of natural radiation and made a purely electromagnetic definition of entropy and of temperature. </em> hardcover

17498Paris, EDHIS 1981. Bound together in 7 volumes. 8vo. Imitation leather. All published. Well executed reprint of this rare and important revolutionary journal. The organ of the 'Cercle Social', defenders of the 'tribuns' of the people. The primary function was to reprint the minutes of the Cercle Social meetings and discuss issues relevant to the club's concerns. Worthy of special mention are Fauchet's weekly commentaries on Rousseau's Contrat Social, many of Etta Palm's feminist writings, speeches by Condorcet on political matters, a debate over Voltaire's place among the Revolutionary patriarchs, and a letter by Madame Roland advocating inheritance law reform. During the spring of 1791, the journal reprinted many documents from the burgeoning democratic movement, including several Cordeliers Club petitions. Among the other authors published in this journal were Cloots and Thomas Paine (Historical Dictionary of the French Revolution, 1789-1799, vol. 1, p. 112).

By this he inscribed his name as one of the founders of the Kinetic Theory of Gases."Clausius was one of the founders of the kinetic theory of gases and of the science of thermodynamics. He and Lord Kelvin at about the same time and independently announced the Second Law of thermodynamics. Clausius particularly developed the theory of thermodynamics by applying it to the study of gases and vapors."Magie in "A Source Book in Physics" p. 228."In order to analyze the process of molecular collisions Clausius adopted a simplified model for his admittedly complicated molecule. He assumed that whatever the actual patterns on intermolecular forces one could suppose that there is some advantage distance between the centers of molecules which would represent a general boundary between attractive and repulsive forces. If two molecules were to approach each other within that boundary repulsion would generally occur. Thus the very complex problem of intermolecular action was reduced to a "billiard ball" model."
