The Correspondence of Theodosius and Constantia, from their first acquaintance to the departure of Theodosius.. Now first published from the original manuscripts. By the editor of the Letters that passed between Theodosius and Constantia, after she had taken the veil. The second edition
Londres, T. Becket et P.A. De Hondt, 1766 in-12, XXIV-152 pp., veau fauve moucheté, dos à nerfs orné de filets dorés, pièce de titre cerise, encadrement de double filet doré sur les plats, tranches mouchetées de rouge (reliure de l'époque). Reliure un peu frottée.
Surtout connu pour sa traduction des Vies de Plutarque (en collaboration avec son frère William Langhorne), le poète John Langhorne (1735-1779) s'essaya aussi à la fiction. Il composa deux recueils de lettres imaginaires échangées entre Theodosius et Constantia, deux personnages apparus sous la plume de Joseph Addison (1672-1719) en 1711 (numéro 164 du Spectator). Notre exemplaire regroupe la seconde série de lettres. - - VENTE PAR CORRESPONDANCE UNIQUEMENT
Correspondence of Johannes Hevelius. Volume IV. The Correspondence with Stanislaw Lubieniecki
, Brepols, 2021 Hardback, 573 pages, Size:156 x 234 mm, Illustrations:22 b/w, Language(s):English, Latin, French. ISBN 9782503571188.
Summary Stanislaw Lubieniecki (1623-1675) was a Polish nobleman and adherent to the Unitarian religion. After his coreligionists were expelled from Poland and Lithuania in 1658, he settled in Hamburg and in the neighbouring town of Altona. When a comet appared in the sky in late 1664, Lubieniecki entered into correspondence with about forty astronomers, mathematicians and other scholars - Giovanni Battista Riccioli, Athanasius Kircher, Otto von Guericke, Erasmus Bartholin and Isma l Boulliau, among others. Johannes Hevelius was one of the addressees of his letters, and their correspondence turned out to be long-lasting and abundant. In the years 1664-1673, they exchanged 92 letters (31 from Hevelius, 61 from Lubieniecki). This correspondence is the fourth most voluminous in the entire corpus of Hevelius's letters. Hevelius was a reputed astronomer, sometimes unwilling to share his observations and ideas, and Lubieniecki was an interested dilettante, striving to learn more about the comets of 1664 and 1665 and other astronomical phenomena as well as their significance. He wanted to collect as many accounts of contemporary and historical comets as possible, and he published them in his Theatrum cometicum. Even though at the same time Hevelius worked on his Cometographia, they both realized that their books touched upon different aspects of cometary studies: historical in the Theatrum cometicum and astronomical in Cometographia. This volume is a part of the edition of Johannes Hevelius's correspondence. The collection of letters, whose manuscripts are kept in the Library of the Paris Observatory, has not been published nor thoroughly studied yet.

The Croker papers. The Correspondence and diaries. of the late right honourable John Wilson croker, secretary to the admiralty from 1809 to 1830. Edited by Louis J. Jennings
London, John Murray, 1884 3 vol. in-8, XII-434, VII-423 et VII-397-24 pp., avec un portrait-frontispice sous serpente, index, percaline brune, dos lisses, guirlandes à froid poussées en haut et en bas des plats (reliure de l'éditeur). Bon exemplaire.
Première publication d'une partie de la correspondance laissée dans le plus grand désordre par Croker après sa mort, survenue en 1857. L'ouvrage forme plus une biographie entrecoupée de lettres jugées importantes du point de vue politique qu'une véritable édition scientifique, mais il jette un éclairage très vif sur les aléas et ressorts de la politique anglaise pendant presque un demi-siècle.Exemplaire de Cornelius Verheyden de Lancey, avec vignette ex-libris armoriée contrecollée sur les premières gardes. - - VENTE PAR CORRESPONDANCE UNIQUEMENT

First appearance of Van Vleck's two importent papers in which he clarifies and extends the Principle of Correspondence.""Van Vleck made his greatest contribution to the old quantum theory in 1924, when he conceived his correspondence principle for absorption. He demonstrated that in the limit of high quantum numbers there would be a correspondence between absorption by classical, multiply periodic systems, and by their quantum analogues. His proof depended on interpreting net absorption in the quantum theory as the difference between gross absorption and stimulated emission of radiation (an interpretation prompted by a remark of Breit’s). Van Vleck was particularly pleased that his classical theory reproduced the quantum result without the need for stimulated emission, which he referred to as ""negative absorption."" (DSB).""Van Vleck’s theory of absorption by multiply periodic systems was consistent with the newly derived Kramers theory of dispersion, and it convinced Bohr that his correspondence principle applied not only to emission but also to absorption. Further, Van Vleck’s 1924 calculation made use of several of the ideas that Werner Heisenberg used in his matrix mechanics a year later. Van Vleck’s work, however, did not lead in the direction of matrix mechanics. His intent was to explain quantum phenomena (especially ""negative absorption"") in classical terms rather than to devise an internally consistent quantum theory."" (DSB).In 1977 he shared the Nobel Prize with Philip Anderson and N. F. Mott.Van der Waerden ""Sources of Quantum Mechanics"", pp. 203 ff.
