18086413London: Longman Hurst Rees and Orme 1808. First edition. Fine. A fine copy. 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.<br /> <br /> A delightful anthology of Elizabethan poets including Thomas Sackville Thomas Kyd Christopher Marlowe Thomas Decker Ben Jonson William Rowley John Fletcher and Francis Beaumont among many others. The texts were compiled by Charles Lamb who although he worked for the East India Company also published articles essays and poems. He was a good friend of Samuel Taylor Coleridge contributing sonnets to his publications and moved in a political literary circle that included Shelley Byron Hazlitt and Hunt Gertz. This copy has been artfully bound by Root & Son. The London-based firm of W. Root & Son was active in from the late-19th until the 1941 Blitz destroyed their premises. The bindery was known for both fine leather bindings trade bindings and sets. Here their talents are displayed with a "Jansenist Style" binding that was first popular in the late seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries identifiable by a plain exterior and elaborately tooled doublures.

Octavo 7 1/8 x 4 1/4 in; 181 x 108 mm. xii 484 pp.<br/><br/>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 <br/><br/>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.<br/><br/>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. <br/><br/>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

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.

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.
