Lamb attended the University of California at Berkeley for both his undergraduate and post-graduate studies. "For theoretical work on scattering of neutrons by a crystal guided by J. Robert Oppenheimer he received the Ph.D. in physics in 1938. Because of limited computational methods available at the time this research narrowly missed revealing the Mossbauer Effect 19 years before its recognition by Mossbauer" Wikipedia. "A Note on the Capture of Slow Neutrons. . . " presented on November 9 1936 and published in Physical Review in 1937 contributed to the first part of Lamb's thesis dissertation. The title of the dissertation was "I. On the capture of slow neutrons in hydrogenous substances. II. Electromagnetic properties of nuclear systems." "At Ann Arbor I had heard Fermi lecture on the effect of chemical binding of a hydrogen atom on its scattering of slow neutrons. This interested me and I began to work on related problems. It seemed that there might also be an effect of the binding of a hydrogen atom on the capture cross section for slow neutrons. At first I thought the effect would be large but finally had to settle for a very rough estimate of the cross section for a very unlikely process: the radiationless capture of neutrons by bound protons to form deuterons with the excess energy and momentum going into vibrational motion of the deuteron instead of a gamma ray. The normal capture process was very little affected by the chemical binding. Even today this radiationless capture has never been seen but I am still hoping that someday it may be. This work formed part of my doctoral thesis. The other part dealt with electromagnetic properties of nuclear matter" Lamb p. 136. "There is no greater tribute to Oppenheimer than the list of Ph.D.s he delivered which includes Carlson Christy Dancoff Kusaka Lamb Morrison Snyder and Volkoff" Pais p. 369. "Lamb was an American physicist who received the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1955 for his precision measurements of details of the spectrum of hydrogen. These included studies of fine structure and measurements of the Lamb shift a key observational step on the road to the development of the theory of quantum electrodynamics p. 203. Gribbin John.

"Early theoretical efforts on heavy-ion stopping date back to Bohr 1940 who pointed out the importance of screening due to projectile electrons in the slowing-down of fission fragments and to Lamb 1940 and Knipp and Teller 1941 who studied the problem of charge equilibrium for penetrating heavy particles" Sigmund p. 19. Niels Bohr 1885-1962 the renowned Danish quantum and nuclear physicist had been working in Copenhagen on determining how fission fragments penetrate matter simultaneously with Lamb's experiments. In a letter that he wrote to Tom Lauritsen a contemporary physicist Bohr mentions this article specifically writing: "Just a few days ago I received a copy of Physical Review of October 15 which as you may have seen contains a paper of Lamb who has independently achieved many of the results arrived at in Copenhagen. I thought therefore that it might be best to my last paper in the Physical Review to add a small addendum like that enclosed and I should be glad if you will kindly see that it is introduced in the proof. . . . In Lamb's article I also found various references to experimental investigations of fission fragments which we have overlooked or not yet known in Copenhagen" Bohr et al. p. 239. At the conclusion of Bohr's paper "Velocity-Range Relation for Fission Fragments" he writes "Note added at proof.â€”After the present paper was sent from Copenhagen we received here the issue of The Physical Review of October 15 1940 which contains an article by W. E. Lamb on the passage of uranium fission fragments through matter. In main features the considerations of this article correspond to the arguments developed here and similar results are obtained" Bohr p. 275. Bohr Niels.

Offprint. 8vo. 159-78 pp. Original green wrappers. Fine. "The Ising model is a well-known model of ferromagnetism in statistical mechanics. . . . In 1944 L. Onsager produced quite unexpectedly an exact evaluation of the partition function of the model in two dimensions. It was a real tour de force" Yang p. 11. Lamb Arnold Nordsieck and others were all interested in the Onsager solution. "Out of this interest grew a Ph.D. dissertation by Julius Ashkin at Columbia which contained an analysis published by Ashkin and Lamb of the low-temperature Ising model pair correlation function using the matrix approach" Hoddeson p. 533. This paper "The Propagation of Order in Crystal Lattices" is that analysis. "The exact solution of the Ising model opened up the possibility of a rigorous formulation of other phase transition problems. While the Ising model was originally constructed to describe a ferromagnet its physical applicability was extended later to entirely different physical systems. . . . In contrast to Kramers and Wannier who in their 1941 paper refer to the 'Ising model of ferromagnetism' Montroll was immediately concerned with treating mathematically all kinds of 'nearest neighbor systems' including not only ferromagnets but also binary alloys and hindered rotations. Ashkin and Lamb in 1943 likewise thought of binary alloys" Hoddeson p. 574. "Kramers and Wannier showed that there was a non-zero transition temperature for the Ising lattice. Moreover they and Montroll showed that the partition function could be expressed as the trace of a matrix the 'transfer matrix'. . . . Using Kramers and Wannier's tecnhiques as well as ones developed with Mayer for the theory of imperfect gases Montroll derived series solutions for the partition function for narrow strips of lattice. Again employing Kramers and Wannier's techniques Ashkin and Lamb derived a series expansion for the propagation of order in the lattice the result that Yang eventually uses to check his exact solution" Krieger pp. 99-100.

02654London: Longman Hurst Rees and Orme 1808. A Handsome Root & Son Binding Celebrating the Beauty of Elizabethan Poetry ROOT & SON binders. LAMB Charles. Specimens of English Dramatic Poets Who Lived About the Time of Shakespeare. With Notes. London: Longman Hurst Rees and Orme 1808. First edition. Octavo 7 1/8 x 4 1/4 in; 181 x 108 mm. xii 484 pp. Designed and bound c. 1920 by Root & Son stamp-signed in full brown crushed morocco with double fillet and a secondary gilt-rolled frame with gilt corner-pieces and inlaid dots in green. Gilt decorated compartments. Top edge gilt. A fine copy Elizabethan poets whose work is represented here include Thomas Sackville; Thomas Kyd; Christopher Marlowe; Thomas Decker; Ben Jonson; William Rowley; John Fletcher; Francis Beaumont; etc. Charles Lamb was born in London in 1775. He studied at Christ's Hospital where he formed a lifelong friendship with Samuel Taylor Coleridge. When Lamb was twenty years old he suffered a period of insanity and was confined to a psychiatric hospital. His sister Mary Ann Lamb had similar issues and in 1796 murdered her mother in a fit of madness. Mary was confined to an asylum but was eventually released into the care of her brother. Lamb became friends in London with a group of young writers who favored political reform including Percy Bysshe Shelley William Hazlitt Henry Brougham Lord Byron Thomas Barnes and Leigh Hunt. In 1796 Lamb contributed four sonnets to Coleridge's Poems on Various Subjects 1796. This was followed by Blank Verse 1798 and Pride's Cure 1802. Lamb worked for the East India Company in London but managed to contribute articles to several journals and newspapers including London Magazine The Morning Chronicle Morning Post and the The Quarterly Review. He is best known for his pseudonymous essays for London Magazine collected and published as Essays of Elia 1823 and for the popular evergreen Tales From Shakespeare 1807 his collaboration with his sister. The volume under notice went a long way to popularizing Shakespeare's contemporaries. He died in 1834. The London bindery of W. Root & Son consistently turned-out excellent work both on fine bindings as here and on trade bindings and sets. Packer lists the firm in business in Red Lion Square in 1899-1901 and the December 1942 issue of The Rotarian notes with regret that W. Root had been bombed out uprooted of their premises on Paternaster Row during the 1941 Blitz. London: Longman, Hurst, Rees, and Orme, 1808 unknown books

Lady Caroline Lamb's notorious and deliriously written roman Ã clÃ© to exact her revenge on Byron for her seduction and abandonment. When our protagonist Calantha encounters Ruthven Glenarvon i.e. Byron her helplessness is described thus: "The eye of the rattle-snake it has been said once fixed upon its victim overpowers it with terror and alarm: the bird thus charmed dares not attempt its escape; it sings its last sweet lay; flutters its little pinions in the air then falls like a shot before its destroyer unable to fly from his fascination. Calantha bowed therefore with the rest pierced to the heart at once by the maddening power that destroys alike the high and low; but she liked not the wily turn of his eye the contemptuous sneer of his curling lip the soft passionless tones of his voice .

Poems by S. T. Coleridge Second Edition. To Which are Added Poems by Charles Lamb and Charles Lloyd

17971896London: Printed by N. Biggs for J. Cottle Bristol and Messrs. Robinsons 1797. Second edition. Rare presentation copy of the 1797 second edition much revised by Coleridge and greatly expanded with new poems by both authors. Small octavo modern quarter red morocco raised bands marbled boards and end-papers top edge gilt. Early presentation note from Charles Lamb bound in before the title page: "To my dear friend William Hone Charles Lamb Oct. 1811." Hone was a literary man and something of an early entrepreneur. One venture that ultimately ended in failure was his stint as an antiquarian bookseller. His friendship with Charles Lamb is well-documented. The first edition and Coleridge's first book of poems published the previous year contained Lamb's first published verses. The second edition was published after Coleridge extensively revised his contribution and added a new Preface. Lamb added an additional 10 poems to the second edition including "Childhood" in addition to the four that were published in the first edition. Two bookplates on the front paste-down front end-paper cracking. Inscription a bit faded but easily legible. A lovely copy with an excellent association.

"In August 1677 Lamb was appointed as master cook to the queen consort held in tandem with the office of sergeant of his majesty's pastry in ordinary to which he was elevated in November 1677. Finally in February 1683 Lamb attained the status of master cook to the monarch. He was reappointed to this post under the successive household regulations of James II William and Mary and Anne and was removed from it only by death. His services as a royal cook encompassed the provision of prepared dishes for daily and extraordinary consumption by the monarch and his guests at table.Lamb's culinary skills were most effectively demonstrated in extraordinary events and his claims for large expenditures on such occasions as the Westminster visit of the Venetian ambassadors in December 1685 testify to the splendour of these.These and other junkets are evoked in the text of Royal Cookery published posthumously in London under Lamb's name by John Morphew and Abel Roper in 1710 and subsequently reprinted in 1716 1726 and 1731. The text incorporated recipes for elaborate dishes alongside engravings of lavish table layouts for occasions such as royal suppers. Such details suggest that the text was drawn from Lamb's papers rather than being speculatively published under his name as some contemporaries contended." Oxford DNB. Bitting Pg.271. ESTC T91553.

Garfield James A. Charles LambABAA

The Works of Charles Lamb.

185658090New York: Derby & Jackson 1856. Signed on the first free end page in pencil with his ownership signature "J. A. Garfield Hiram Ohio Sept. 1856." Garfield's personal bookplate "Inter Folia Fructus Library of James A. Garfield" is affixed to the front pastedown. Housed in a custom half morocco chemise case. Rare and desirable from the library of the 20th President of the United States. At Geauga Academy which he attended from 1848 to 1850 Garfield learned academic subjects he had not previously had time for. He shone as a student and was especially interested in languages and elocution. Later Garfield graduated from Williams College in August 1856 as salutatorian giving an address at the commencement. Garfield biographer Ira Rutkow pointed out that the future president's years at Williams gave Garfield the opportunity to know and respect those of different social backgrounds and despite his origin as an unsophisticated Westerner he was liked and respected by socially conscious New Englanders. "In short" as Rutkow later wrote "Garfield had an extensive and positive first experience with the world outside the Western Reserve of Ohio." On his return to Ohio the degree from a prestigious Eastern school made Garfield a man of distinction. He returned to Hiram to teach at the Institute and in 1857 was made its president. He did not see education as a field that would realize his full potential. At Williams he had become more politically aware in the intensely anti-slavery atmosphere of the Massachusetts school and began to consider politics as a career. Derby & Jackson unknown books

TALES FROM SHAKESPEARE: DESIGNED FOR THE USE OF YOUNG PEOPLE. TWO VOLUMES

180755702London: Thomas Hodgkins At The Juvenile Press 1807. Two Volumes. 12mos beautiful gilt-worked red full-morocco leather bindings by Riviere & Sons. First edition earliest printing. These 20 tales are illustrated with 20 engraved illustrations by William Mulready. First edition first impression with the imprint of the printer T. Davison on the verso of p. 235 vol. I and with the Hanway Street address in the final advertisements. The "Tales" are the work of Lamb and his sister Mary who had severe bouts of mental illness. Charles wrote the tragedies and Mary wrote the comedies. The book is designed to make the stories of Shakespeare's plays familiar to the young. According to the Cambridge History of English Literature "the first book which appealing to a general audience and to a rising generation made Shakespeare a familiar and popular author." Originally the "Tales" were to be anonymous but Godwin the publisher persuaded an unreluctant Charles to have his name on the title page. Mary did not get her name on the title page until the seventh edition in 1838.

This binding is No. LXXXV on page 34 of the Cedric Chivers catalog "Books in Beautiful Bindings" "In his large bindery at Portway Bath Chivers employed about forty women for folding sewing mending and collating work and in addition five more women worked in a separate department to design illuminate and colour vellum for book decoration and to work on embossed leather. These five were Dorothy Carleton Smyth Alice Shepherd Miss J.D. Dunn Muriel Taylor and Agatha Gales. Most Vellucent bindings were designed by H. Granville Fell but the woman most frequently employed for this kind of work was probably Dorothy Carleton Smyth" Marianne Tidcombe Women Bookbinders 1880-1920 p. 86. According to Bernard Middleton the first vellucent binding dates to 1903. In these bindings the painting is on paper under the vellum rather than on the underside of the vellum as in Edwards of Halifax bindings History of English Craft Bookbinding Technique pp. 146-147. Essays of Elia is a collection of essays written by Charles Lamb; it was first published in book form in 1823 with a second volume Last Essays of Elia issued in 1833 by the publisher Edward Moxon. The essays in the collection first began appearing in The London Magazine in 1820 and continued to 1825. Lamb's essays were very popular and were printed in many subsequent editions throughout the nineteenth century. The personal and conversational tone of the essays has charmed many readers; the essays "established Lamb in the title he now holds that of the most delightful of English essayists." Lamb himself is the Elia of the collection and his sister Mary is "Cousin Bridget." Charles first used the pseudonym Elia for an essay on the South Sea House where he had worked decades earlier; Elia was the last name of an Italian man who worked there at the same time as Charles and after that essay the name stuck. Critics have traced the influence of earlier writers in Lamb's style notably Sir Thomas Browne and Robert BurtonÂ - writers who also influenced Lamb's contemporary and acquaintance Thomas De Quincey. Some of Lamb's later pieces in the same style and spirit were collected into a body called Eliana. Charles Lamb 1775-1834 was born in London in 1775. He studied at Christ's Hospital where he formed a lifelong friendship with Samuel Taylor Coleridge. When Lamb was twenty years old he suffered a period of insanity and was confined to a psychiatric hospital. His sister Mary Ann Lamb had similar issues and in 1796 murdered her mother in a fit of madness. Mary was confined to an asylum but was eventually released into the care of her brother. Lamb became friends in London with a group of young writers who favored political reform including Percy Bysshe Shelley William Hazlitt Henry Brougham Lord Byron Thomas Barnes and Leigh Hunt. In 1796 Lamb contributed four sonnets to Coleridge's Poems on Various Subjects 1796. This was followed by Blank Verse 1798 and Pride's Cure 1802. Lamb worked for the East India Company in London but managed to contribute articles to several journals and newspapers including London Magazine The Morning Chronicle Morning Post and the The Quarterly Review. He is best known for his pseudonymous essays for London Magazine collected and published as Essays of Elia 1823 and for the popular evergreen Tales From Shakespeare 1807 his collaboration with his sister.

Illus. color and b/w plates. Signed by the author. Extraordinarily strong exploration of immigrant life. "This one was my first artist book Caxixis-New York: a parallel between street fairs in New York City and a remote small town in northeast Brazil. The photographs taken as soon as I came to New York reflect the psyche of my first moment arriving abroad and having learned to look at the world that way I assigned myself the task of incorporating this quality of otherness to my own origins. Shown side by side these two essays form a parallel between street fairs in New York City and a remote small town in northeast Brazil. The resulting body of work resulted in a solo show in my native city; this book was a companion piece. Having no bindery at home it was made in my motherÂ’s kitchen using whatever materials I could find around. The hand of the maker sure shows: the original 35mm images were acrylic-medium-transfered to the pages. It is a low-tech process that involves vast amounts of rubbing. In addition a few of the images were silk-screened. A book dealer asked me to get together some ephemera related to the show Â– that was when I realized: I have been doing this for so long now there is even history to itÂ…" Artist Statement hardcover books
