Hudson, (New York), 1806. Small folio (30,4 x 23,7 cm). The entire May 13th issue, consisting of four leaves, with a blue marbled paper back-strip housed in magnificent custom-make full morocco box of Prussian Blue goatwith a morocco-onlay of an iconic cocktail-glass on the front board. The cocktail-glass is richly gilt with a geometric pattern in art-deco-like style and with an onlay of turquoise green representing and olive, with a black stick through it. Black lettering (""THE FIRST COCKTAIL"") to the spine and the year ""1806"" turquise to the foot. Beautiul light blue- and gold patterned silk-lining to the inside. A bit of brownspotting and some of the print a bit vague, due to the paper quality.
Exceedingly scarce first printing of the May 13th 1806-issue of ""The Balance and Columbian Repository"", in which we find the very first published definition of the word cocktail, the earliest reference of the word ""cocktail"" as we know it. This seminal issue of the now rather obscure paper constitutes the most important event in cocktail history. It is here that we find the earliest definition of the word cocktail and here that we find the first cocktail recipe (""a stimulating liquor, composed of spirits of any kind, sugar, water and bitters...""). "" The very first published definition of the word ""cock-tail"" appeared on 13th May 1806 in The Balance and Columbian Repository in 1806 and this historic event is now commemorated every year by World Cocktail Day."" (31 Dover - History of the Cocktail Blog) ""...the Balance article is the earliest written record that not only mentions the word ""cock-tail"" but also gives the recipe, so it's appropriate that theirs is the piece we celebrate on World Cocktail Day."" (saveur.com, How the Cocktail got its Name). ""World Cocktail Day is a celebration of cocktails around the globe, marking the publication date of the first definition of a cocktail on May 13th in 1806... New York tabloid 'The Balance and Columbian Repository' defined a cocktail as ""a stimulating liquor, composed of spirits of any kind, sugar, water and bitters..."" in response to a reader's question. A cocktail, as we know it, is used to refer to a drink that contains two or more ingredients with at least one of in the ingredients alcohol. The word 'cocktail' has now become embedded in our drinking vocabulary as the drinks are widely accessible with their ingredients easy to adapt to suit every taste."" (worldcocktailday.co.uk). ""No one knows when or where the first drink called a cocktail was mixed. But 200 years ago today a full-blown description of a ""cock-tail"" first made it into print, an anniversary being commemorated by the Museum of the American Cocktail with events in Las Vegas and New York.According to the Oxford English Dictionary, the word ""cocktail"" first appeared in 1803 in a publication called the Farmer's Cabinet, but there was no explanation of what sort of drink this cocktail was, other than that it was ""excellent for the head."" On May 6, 1806, the word turned up again -- this time in hyphenated form -- in the Balance and Columbian Repository, a Federalist newspaper in Hudson, N.Y., where it figured in one of the paper's regular jibes at the party of President Thomas Jefferson.""Rum! Rum! Rum!"" read the headline in that paper. ""It is conjectured, that the price of this precious liquor will soon rise at Claverack,"" the Balance wrote, given that a candidate there for the state Legislature must have used up the town's stocks of alcohol in a frenzy of boozy vote-buying. According to the Balance, the candidate had served up 720 rum-grogs, 17 dozen brandies, 32 gin-slings, 411 glasses of bitters and 25 dozen ""cock-tails."" But all this generosity with refreshment was for naught, the newspaper teased, as the candidate lost.No description of those 300 cock-tails there. But then a reader of the paper inquired, writing that he had heard of a ""phlegm-cutter and fog driver, of wetting the whistle, of moistening the clay, of a fillip, a spur in the head, quenching a spark in the throat,"" but ""never did I hear of cock tail before."" On May 13, the editor of the Balance responded that he made ""it a point, never to publish anything (under my editorial head) but which I can explain."" A cock-tail is ""vulgarly called a bittered sling,"" he explained to his readers. That is, the drink is ""a stimulating liquor, composed of spirits of any kind, sugar, water and bitters."" (Eric Felten: The Cocktail Bicentenniel. In: The Wall Street Journal May 13th, 2006).

"COULOMB, (CHARLES AUGUSTIN) - THE PRIZE-WINNING PAPER ON MAGNETIC COMPASSES INTRODUCING THE TORSION BALANCE
Reference : 44921
(1780)
Paris, Moutard, Panckoucke, 1780. 4to. Extract from ""Mémoires fe Mathematique et de Physique, Présentés à l'Academie des Sciences par divers Savans"", Tome IX. With titlepage to vol. IX. Pp. (2), (167-) 264 and 4 folded engraved plates. The memoir has also its own titlepage. Fine and clean. Wide-margined.
First printing of this monumental memoir (the invention of the TORSION BALANCE) dealing with the best way to construct a magnetic compass. The paper contains the design of a torsion suspension declination compass and the demonstration that the forces of torsion is proportional to the angle of twist. Coulomb received the prize awarded by the Academy for this paper drafted by the Academy in 1777 (he shared the prize with Van Swinden). - ""The importance of this memoir for Coulomb's career is that it CONTAINED ELEMENTS OF ALL HIS MAJOR PHYSICAL STUDIES: the quantitative study of magnetism, torsion and the torsion balance, friction and fluid resistance, and the germ of his theories of elasticity and magnetism.""(DSB).""Coulomb’s first writings on torsion were presented in his Academy prize-winning memoir of 1777, ""Recherches sur la meilleure maniere de fabriquer les aiguilles aimantées.""......... his simple, elegant solution to the problem of torsion in cylinders and his use of the torsion balance in physical applications were important to numerous physicists in succeeding years. In chapter 3, Coulomb developed the theory of torsion in thin silk and hair threads. Here he was the first to show how the torsion suspension could provide physicists with a method of accurately measuring extremely small forces. He showed that within certain angular limits, torsional oscillation consisted of simple harmonic motion. He examined the parameters relating the angle of twist to the length, diameter, and elastic properties of the torsion thread. In the range of simple harmonic oscillation Coulomb demonstrated that the force of torsion was proportional to the angle of twist. He used this principle in measuring small magnetic forces and also called attention to its use in measuring other forces, notably those of fluids in motion. Eventually he was able to measure forces of less than 9 x 10-4 dynes.""""Coulomb’s major memoirs in electricity and magnetism are his 1777 memoir on magnetic compasses, the famous series of seven electricity and magnetism memoirs read at the Academy from 1785 to 1791, and several magnetism memoirs prepared after the French Revolution. In his electrical studies Coulomb determined the quantitative force law, gave the notion of electrical mass, and studied charge leakage and the surface distribution of charge on conducting bodies. In magnetism he determined the quantitative force law, created a theory of magnetism based on molecular polarization, and introduced the idea of demagnetization (basically, that combinations of magnetic poles can ""cancel"" each other).""(DSB).Parkinson ""Breakthroughs"": 1777:P

Il est passé à la postérité pour la formulation précise des lois du frottement solide, et pour l'invention du pendule de torsion, dynamomètre de précision qui lui permit de formuler la loi d'attraction entre solides électrisés. - Ingénieur de formation, il est surtout physicien. Il publie sept traités sur l'électricité et le magnétisme, et d'autres sur le phénomène de torsion, les frottements solides, etc. - Coulomb est toutefois surtout connu pour les expériences historiques qu'il a réalisées à l'aide d'une balance de torsion appelée « balance de Coulomb » pour déterminer la force qui s'exerce entre deux charges électriques (loi portant son nom).
