Third edition of this compact vest pocket edition of the very scarce Carter paint calculator designed to provide specific instructions on how to mix Carter White Lead Paints sold by the gallon with their specific additional colours linseed oil turpentine and “Japan Drier†to be carefully mixed beforehand after the painter had determined the specific amount of paint by using the calculator. Carter Master Painter “Color Packs†came in 53 different colours shades and tints including Lamp Black French Ochre Venetian Red Raw Umber Burnt Sienna Parisian Blue and others as carefully depicted in the folding colour paint sample chart. Carter White Lead Co. was founded in 1878 by Levi Carter 1831-1903 and partners who pioneered the use of powdered lead in mixing durable paints building and operating the Chicago plant which at the beginning of the 20th Century was the largest single white lead factory in the World as well as plants in East Omaha and Montreal. In the first decade of the 20th Century they claimed to produce half of all paint used in North America.

A few brownspots to lower margins. <br/><br/><em>First appearance of a major paper in the kinetic theory of gases in which Maxwell proved that the viscosity was independent of pressure as predicted and nearly a linear function of the absolute temperature T.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."James Clerk Maxwell published a famous paper in 1866 the paper offered using the kinetic theory of gases to study gaseous viscosity. The internal friction the viscosity of the gas is determined by the probability a particle of layer A enters layer B with a corresponding transfer of momentum. Maxwell's calculations showed him that the viscosity coefficient is proportional to both the density the mean free path and the mean velocity of the atoms. On the other hand the mean free path is inversely proportional to the density. So an increase of pressure doesn't result in any change of the viscosity. </em> unknown

Cartan's papers: pp.437-439 593-595 734-737 857-60 1104-1107. <br/><br/><em>First edition of these papers in which Cartan intruced the concept of "Torsion" the main inspiration for Einstein in his searce for a unified field theory. The ECT of gravity is a modification of the General relativity Theory"The Einstein-Cartan theory also known as the Einstein-Cartan-Sciama-Kibble theory is a classical theory of gravitation similar to general relativity but relaxing the assumption that the affine connection has vanishing antisymmetric part torsion tensor so that the torsion can be coupled to the intrinsic angular momentum spin of matter much in the same way in which the curvature is coupled to the energy and momentum of matter. In fact the spin of matter in curved spacetime requires that torsion is not constrained to be zero but is a variable in the principle of stationary action. Regarding the metric and torsion tensors as independent variables gives the correct generalization of the conservation law for the total orbital plus intrinsic angular momentum to the presence of the gravitational field. The theory was first proposed by Élie Cartan in 1922 and expounded in the following few years. Dennis Sciama and Tom Kibble independently revisited the theory in the 1960s and an important review was published in 1976. Albert Einstein became affiliated with the theory in 1928 during his unsuccessful attempt to match torsion to the electromagnetic field tensor as part of a unified field theory. This line of thought led him to the related but different theory of teleparallelism." Wikipedia. </em> hardcover

This led him to study invariant theory and he found a reciprocity law relating to binary forms. With his understanding of quadratic forms and invariant theory he created a theory of transformations in 1855. His results on this topic provided connections between number theory theta functions and the transformations of abelian functions.""Hermite’s 1855 results became basic for the transformation theory of Abelian functions as well as for Camille Jordan’s theory of "Abelian" groups. They also led to Herrnite’s own theory of the fifth-degree equation and of the modular equations of elliptic functions."DSB. </em> unknown
