Halftitle present and with stamps. XXIV367 pp. 2 engraved plates 1 folded. The folded plate depicts his two types of Hair-Hygrometers a. 1 engraved vignette. A fine clean and wide-margined copy. <br/><br/><em>First edition of a fundamental work in Meteorology in which Saussure describes how to construct a hygrometer from human hair that can measure the relative humidity and discussing the principles behind it. Cuvier regarded this book as one of the greatest contributions to science of the eighteenth century."A milestone work in chemistry physics and meteorology which established hygrometry as an exact science. Primarely a geologist who explored and published on the Alps Saussure 1740-1788 was the first to prove that air expands and becomes less dense the more humidity it contains. In these Essais the work offered he describes his experiments with the hair hygrometer of his invention and his theory of the evaporation and hygrometry with their applications to meteorology. he also enunciates his theory of the evaporation of water in hydrogen carbon dioxide and other gases."Neville II p. 427 a."In his essay on the theoretical principles of hygrometry which he conceives as "the art of measuring the absolute quantity of water suspended in the air" De Saussure distinguishes three classes of methods of determining humidity which respectively utilize i observations of changes in the weight dimensions or shape of a hygroscopic body; ii observations of the capacity of the air for taking up water; and iii observations of the quantity of water condensing from the air under given conditions on a cold surface or of the degree of cold necessary to start such an condensation."Wolf "A History of Science Technology & Philosophy in the 18th Century" I p. 326 ff.Partington III 763. - Partington "Breakthroughs" 1783 M - Poggendorff II 755-56. </em> hardcover
49275Paris Institut Impériale de France 1809 or 1810. 4to 25.0 x 20.0 cm. 33 pp. Not bound. In a 20th century blue hardcover paper drop-box 26.8 x 22.0 cm with printed label on the top board. = A unique proof printing with several corrections by Brongniart. See DSB: "In 1804 wanting to place the Montmartre bed of fossil formations in time Cuvier with Brongniart began research that led to Géographie minéralogique des environs de Paris 1808 1811 which was rewritten and greatly expanded as Description géologique des environs de Paris 1822 1835. In this work a landmark in the history of geology Cuvier played a lesser role. Brongniart did the necessary fieldwork drawing his inspiration from the works of Buffon Soulavie Ramond Palassu especially Lamarck; the latter had described the fossil invertebrates of the Paris region and in his Hydrogéologie 1802 had set forth the bases of the theory of "current causes" later developed by Constant Prévost. Cuvier respecting the short chronology of the Bible was forced to assume in addition to "current causes" which act very slowly rapid catastrophes and global upheavals which had no basis in fact". This proof was based upon the 1808 text published in the Annales du Muséum d'Histoire naturelle volume XI pp. 293-326. We have added a few pages in photocopy of the final text for comparison. A few small spots on the first and last leaves otherwise a very good clean copy. DSB 3 p. 526; Ward and Carozzi 564. hardcover
