174051275Paris L'Imprimerie Royale 1740. 4to. Without wrappers. Extracted from "Mémoires de l'Academie des Sciences. Année 1737". Pp. 389-469 1 engraved map from Torneå to Kittis and 5 folded engraved plates. <br/><br/><em>First printing of the official report from the French Academy of the geodetic expedition to Lapland in order to settle the conflict between Earth-elangators and Earth-flatteners between the French and the British. "Newton had calculated from the Earth's rotational force at the Equator that its equatoeial diameter should exceed its polar diameter by 0.44 per cent or 27 km 17 miles; similar in Jupiter rotating more than twice as fast the disparity of the diameters was shown to be even greater. In France however tha Cassinis from geodetic measurements stretching along the meridian at Paris from the Channel to the Pyrennees came to exactly the opposite conclusion - that the polar diameter of the Earth was the greater. After Maupertuis had examined this imcompatibility in 1733 the Academy of Sciences decided that it should be settled by measure of a degree of latitude taken in two widely separated parts of the globe. Maupertuis with Clairaut took a party to the Golf ofBothnia. La Condamine with Bouguer took another to Peru. maupertuis departed in May 1736 and was absent for a year only in December 1737 was he able to announce the result that in accordance with Newton's dynamical theory the degreee in the far north was loner than that in Paris. More years elepsed before the degreee in Peru was found to be shorter. As Voltaire put in a wrily witty but un-Baconian couplet addresseed to Maupertuis:"In tedious deserts you were forced to roam. To find the truth that Newton knew at home." Rupert Hall "Revolution in Science 1500-1750 pp.351-52.Parkinson "Breakthroughs" 1736-37 E. </em> unknown

Margin of plate with small tears.Otherwise clean and fine. <br/><br/><em>First appearance of the first paper describing the invention of the seismograph to record earthquakes."Milne studied at the Royal School of Mines and became mining engineer. He joined an Expedition to Arabia as a geologist. His real chance came in 1875 however when he accepted an appointment as a professor of geology and mining in the Imperial College of Engineering at Tokyo. He remained in Japan for twenty years and there had a marvelous opportunity to study earthquakes for no land is more riven with them than Japan. In 1880 he invented the seismograph.and established a chain of seismographs in Japan and elsewhere marking the beginning of modern seismology."Asimow.The paper describes 8 sets of experiments set up at different stations in Japan.On Milne's initiative the Seismological Society of Japan was founded and the emperor of Japan conferred upon him the Order of the Rising Sun. </em> unknown

Although Ramsay announced the discovery of Helium before Cleve had completed his research the Swedish chemist was independent discoverer of the element.Helium was discovered in the sun already in 1868 by Jules Janssen and independently by Lockyer the same year. Janssen discovered helium in the sun when he observed a total eclipse in India by studying the spectra of the suns chromosphere and Lockyer also by spectroscopy found that the new line in the spectrum did not belong to any element then known and he named it Helium for the sun.In the same volume as Ramsays paper there are 5 papers by NORMAN LOCKYER dealing with the discovery of Helium on the earth examining Ramsay's and Cleve's findings.Parkinson "Breakthroughs" 1895. </em> hardcover

Affascinante carta del Polo Nord che rispecchia le conoscenze cartografiche del periodo, lasciando aperta la possibilità di una passaggio a Nordest che a Nordovest. La mappa è decorata da mostri marini, e vignette di cacciatori ed orsi. Pubblicata nell'opera di Heinrich Scherer Atlas Novus exhibens orbem terraguem per naturae opera, historiae navae acveterus monumenta, artistique geographicae leges et praecepta edita in 8 parti, stampate tra il 1702 e il 1710 a Monaco di Baviera. Heinrich Scherer, professore di matematica a Monaco di Baviera, era un gesuita devoto la cui opera sottolineava la gerarchia cattolica e la diffusione delle missioni gesuite in tutto il mondo. Il suo Atlas Novus contiene mappe di tutte le altre parti che mostravano la diffusione del cattolicesimo e delle missioni gesuite. Le 180 mappe incluse in questo lavoro sono state preparate tra il 1699 e il 1700 e sono state incise da Leonard Hecknaeur, Joseph Montelegre e Matthus Wolfgang; ogni volume è introdotto da splendidi frontespizi allegorici dagli stessi incisori. Incisione su rame, in ottimo stato di conservazione. Fascinating map of the North Pole by Heinrich Scherer (1628-1704) for his Atlas Novus exhibens orbem terraguem per naturae opera, historiae navae acveterus monumenta, artistique geographicae leges et praecepta...published in eight volumes from 1702-1710 in Munich. Scherer, a devout Jesuit, produced this geographical compendium to depict the Catholic hierarchy and the spread of Jesuit missions throughout the world.The map itself presents typical cartography for the period, leaving open the possibility of both a Northeast and Northwest Passage to the Far East. The map is literally filled with images of sea monsters, whaling, hunting and exploration. The title cartouche is engraved onto the hide of a polar bear with two hunters, and at right is a vignette of the people of Lapland.Copper etching, some light stains, otherwise in good condition.
