[Paris, imprimerie de Ch. Lahure], [1862], in-8, , broché, couvertures de l'éditeur, Première édition des deux leçons élémentaires de la théorie de la chaleur formulée par Verdet, professées en 1862 : ces leçons posèrent les bases d'un traité complet, qui sera recueilli par deux de ses élèves, Prudhon et Viollet, et publié en 1868-1872 aux tomes VII et VIII de ses Oeuvres complètes (Imprimerie Impériale), où elles seront reproduites en tête du tome VII. Émile Verdet (1824-1866) enseigna à l'École Normale, à l'École Polytechnique et à la Sorbonne, où il énonça cette théorie mécanique de la chaleur qui présentait, pour la première fois dans la sphère scientifique française, les nouvelles théories physique sur la thermodynamique de Joule, Clausius, Helmholtz et William Thompson. Envoi non signé de l'auteur en couverture, à l'abbé Paul de Broglie (1834-1895), ancien élève à l'École polytechnique (X 1855), futur séminariste à Saint-Sulpice (1867) et premier titulaire de la chaire d'apologétique de l'Institut catholique de Paris (1880).

---- EDITION ORIGINALE ---- BEL EXEMPLAIRE ---- "Verdet was one of the outstanding physics teachers of mi-nineteenth-century France, holding professorships at the Ecole normale supérieure, the Ecole Polytechnique and the Faculté des sciences in Paris. He introduced into the French scientific world the thermodynamics of Joule, Clausius, Helmholtz and William Thompson and conducted important experiments on the effects of a magnetic field on plane-polarized light. Verdet educated his colleagues as well as his students. French physicists of his time were ignorant of much of the research going on outside their country, so Verdet undertook to publish abstracts of the most important articles appearing in foreing journals. From 1852 to 1864 every volume of the Annales de chimie contained ten or more of this synopses... In 1864/1865 he taught the new thermodynamics and the notes from his course were compiled by two students and published as La théorie mécanique de la chaleur, a textbook which has become a classic... His early research included a series of experiments on electromagnetic induction and a theoretical treatise on the image-forming power of lenses. In his major effort Verdet investigated the phenomenon now known as the "Faraday effect"... He studied the dependence of the Faraday effect on the strength of the magnet causing the rotation, the medium in which the light is traveling, and the color of the light. he found that the magnetic power of rotation was directly proportional to the square of the wavelengh of the light and related the index of refraction of the material. In recognition of the importance of this work a measure of the power of magnetic rotation was named "Verdet's constant". His entire scientific output is collected in Oeuvres de Verdet, 8 vols (Paris 1868/1872) which includes all his scientific papers and the lecture notes from his courses".(DSB XIII pp. 614/615)**5176/L3/L7AR

First edition of Dupré's importent textbook. - ""He made importent contributions to the dissemination in France of the newly discovered principles of thermodynamics in nearly forty communications to the Academy...and in a successful advanced textbook ""Theorie mécanique de la chaleur"" (Robert Fox in DSB IV:258).
P., Gauthier-Villars, 1869, un volume in 8 relié en demi-basane marron, dos orné de fers et filets dorés, (mouillures pâles dans la marge supérieure des premiers feuillets), 11pp., 484pp.
---- EDITION ORIGINALE ---- "Dupré entered the Ecole Normale Supérieure in Paris in 1826, gained first place in science in the agrégation of 1829, and immediately took a post at the Collège royal in Rennes. There he taught mathematics and physical science. In 1847, he was appointed to the chair of mathematics in the Faculty of Science in Rennes. His last post, from 1866, was as dean of the faculty there... Dupré's scientific career fell into two parts. In the first, which lasted from his years at the Ecole Normale until about 1859, he contributed to several branches of mathematics and physics... During the second period, which covered the remaining ten years of his life, Dupré concerned himself exclusively with the mechanical theory of heat, his main interest being the implications of the theory for matter on the molecular scale. He made an important contribution to the dissemination in France of the newly discovered principles of thermodynamics in nearly forty communications to the Academy and in a successful advanced textbook Théorie mécanique de la chaleur (1869)".
