185646373London Taylor and Francis 1856. 4to. No wrappers as extracted from "Philosophical Transactions" 1856 - Vol. 146 - Part I. Pp. 297-342 a. pp. 343-355. Clean and fine. <br/><br/><em>First printing of the paper in which Airy describes his remarkable experiments aiming at finding the density of the earth. His approach to the problem was to determine the differences of gravity at the top as well at the bottom of a suitable deep mine."One of the most remarkable of Airy's researches was his determination of the mean density of the Earth. In 1826 the idea occurred to him of attacking this problem by means of pendulum experiments at the top and bottom of a deep mine. His first attempt made in the same year at the Dolcoath mine in Cornwall failed in consequence of an accident to one of the pendulums. A second attempt in 1828 was defeated by a flooding of the mine and many years elapsed before another opportunity presented itself. The experiments eventually took place at the Harton pit near South Shields in 1854. Their immediate result was to show that gravity at the bottom of the mine exceeded that at the top by 1/19286 of its amount the depth being 383 m 1256 ft From this he was led to the final value of Earth's specific density of 6.566.This value although considerably in excess of that previously found by different methods was held by Airy from the care and completeness with which the observations were carried out and discussed to be "entitled to compete with the others on at least equal terms." The currently accepted value for Earth's density is 5.5153 g/cm³. Wikipedia. </em> unknown

1819biblio16<p>Strasbourg F.G. Levrault. 2 volumes. 8vo. Contemporary half calf. With 2 folding engraved. The first geological textbook in France based on the teachings of Werner. It won wide popularity on account of its clearness and elegance in the mode of treatment. D'Aubuisson held closely to the methodical arrangement of the subject introduced by Werner and took his illustrative examples chiefly from French geology. His deviation of Werner's teaching was the insertion of Tertiary formations between the Secundary deposits and diluvial clays and gravels. He was together with Leopold von Buch and Alexander von Humboldt one of the three great pupils of Werner Zittel pp. 143-144. Stamps and marks of previous owner. A very good copy.
