‎First French version of ""On the Production and Reproduction of Sound by Light"" (the French version published in November and the English in October 1880) of this importent paper in which Bell describes his and Charles Sumner Tainter's, his assistent, invention of the Photophone or Radiophone, THE PROGENITOR OF MODERN FIBER OPTICS. This invention made possible the world's FIRST WIRELESS TELEPHONE MESSAGE, and the first call was sent from the Franklin Scool to the window of Bell's laboratory, some 213 meter away.Also with Breguet's importent paper on the Selenium used in the technology.""On June 3, 1880, Alexander Graham Bell transmitted the first wireless telephone message on his newly invented ""photophone."" Bell believed the photophone was his most important invention. The device allowed for the transmission of sound on a beam of light. Of the eighteen patents granted in Bell's name alone, and the twelve he shared with his collaborators, four were for the photophone. Bell's photophone worked by projecting voice through an instrument toward a mirror. Vibrations in the voice caused similar vibrations in the mirror. Bell directed sunlight into the mirror, which captured and projected the mirror's vibrations. The vibrations were transformed back into sound at the receiving end of the projection. The photophone functioned similarly to the telephone, except the photophone used light as a means of projecting the information, while the telephone relied on electricity."" (Mary Bellis).The first successful attempts were based upon the properties of selenium: ""The electric resistance of which varies with the degree of illumination to which it is exposed. Hence, given a transmitting instrument, such as a flexible mirror, by which the vibrations of a sound could throw into vibrations a beam of light, a receiver, consisting of sensitive selenium, forming part of an electric circuit with a battery and a telephone, should suffice to translate the varying intensities of light into corresponding varying intensities of electric current, and finally into vibrations of the telephone disk audible once more as sound.""

Fine and clean copy.‎

‎First publication of the first French translation of Bell's ""On the Production and Reproduction of Sound by Light: the Photophone"", originally published in 1880. The device allowed for the transmission of sound on a beam of light, and Bell himself regarded this, not the telephone, to be his most important invention.""In the importance of the principles involved, I regard the photophone as the greatest invention I have ever made"" greater than the telephone."" Bell said in a 1921 interview. The photophone was the world's first wireless telephone communication and thereby anticipated Marconi's invention with several years.The first successful attempts were based upon the properties of selenium: ""The electric resistance of which varies with the degree of illumination to which it is exposed. Hence, given a transmitting instrument, such as a flexible mirror, by which the vibrations of a sound could throw into vibrations a beam of light, a receiver, consisting of sensitive selenium, forming part of an electric circuit with a battery and a telephone, should suffice to translate the varying intensities of light into corresponding varying intensities of electric current, and finally into vibrations of the telephone disk audible once more as sound."" (Prescott, George. Bell's Electric Speaking Telephone. 313 p.).Bell was so excited by his invention and its possibilities that he proposed that his second daughter should bear the name of the invention: Photophone. Fortunately for her, her mother was not quite as enthusiastic about the invention.‎

Un temps collaborateur au Mousquetaire d'Alexandre Dumas, Georges Bell y rédige des articles de critique littéraire et devint un ami intime de Gérard de Nerval. ‎

‎SPIEGEL VAN DE WERELD. DE GESCHIEDENIS VAN DE BEELDENDE KUNST.‎

‎Amsterdam, Athenaeum - Polak & Van Gennep , 2007 Gebonden, donkergrijs karton met zilveropdruk op rug, witte papieromslag, 195 x 265mm., 496pp., zeer uitgebreide kleurillustratie. ISBN 9789025363727.‎

‎Wat is de beeldende kunst en waar komt ze vandaan? Waarom bestaat ze en hoe verandert de kunst in de loop van de tijd? Op deze vragen geeft Julian Bell ons de antwoorden in het nieuwe standaardwerk over kunstgeschiedenis. Vanaf de eerste impulsen om ruw materiaal een vorm te geven tot en met het ontstaan van eigentijdse installaties hebben mensen de neiging gevoeld tot het maken van beelden. Stijlen en perioden zijn elkaar opgevolgd en het loont de moeite dwarsverbanden tussen schijnbaar ver uit elkaar liggende tradities te leggen. De schilder Bell gebruikt een heel scala aan voorwerpen, van dagelijks tot onbekend, om bloot te leggen hoe de kunst voortkomt uit onze gemeenschappelijke ervaring, hoe zij het menselijk tekort weerspiegelt, hoe zij als een spiegel laat zien wat ons werkelijk bezighoudt. Bell vermijdt de gebaande paden en hij kiest voor een letterlijk mondiaal perspectief. Vertaald door Victor Kuijper en Annelies Roeleveld. Nieuw boek.‎

‎Sur l'application du photophone à l'étude des bruits qui ont lieu à la surface solaire. Note présentée par M. Janssen au nom de Alex. Graham Bell.‎

‎(Paris, Gauthier-Villars), 1880. 4to. No wrappers. In: ""Comptes Rendus Hebdomadaires des Séances de L'Academie des Sciences"", Tome 91, No 18. Pp.(698-) 736. (Entire issue offered). Bell's paper: pp. 726-727.‎

‎First printing of the paper in which Bell speculates how his and Tainter's invention of the Photophone or Radiophone could have a wider use. He pondered the photophone's possible scientific use in the spectral analysis of artificial light sources, stars and sunspots. He later also speculated on its possible future applications, though he did not anticipate either the laser or fiber-optic telecommunications:""Can Imagination picture what the future of this invention is to be!.... We may talk by light to any visible distance without any conduction wire.... In general science, discoveries will be make by the Photophone that are undreamed of just now."" Not long after its invention laboratories within the Bell System continued to improve the photophone in the hope that it could supplement or replace expensive conventional telephone lines. Its earliest non-experimental use came with military communication systems during World War I and II, its key advantage being that its light-based transmissions could not be intercepted by the enemy.‎

‎The Hand; its mechanism and vital endowments, as evincing design and illustring the Power, wisdom and goodness of god‎

‎Illustrations: Illustrated throughout with text illustrations. Bell's classic work on the hand illustrated with his own small vignettes, discusses the hand's anatomy, phsyiology, bio-mechanics and compartive anatomy, as well as its utility and adaptive importance, the sense of touch, and related topics. Charles Bell (1774-1842), Scottish surgeon, anatomist, physiologist, neurologist, artist and philosophical theologian. he is noted for the difference between sensory nerves and motor nerves in the spinal chord. He is also noted for describing Bell's palsy. In 1829 Francis Egerton, eighth Earl of Bridgewater, died and in his will, he left a large sum of money to the President of the Royal Society of London. The will stipulated the money was to be used to write, print and publish one thousand copies of a work On the Power, Wisdom, and Goodness of God. The President of the Royal Society Davies Gilbert appointed eight gentlemen to write separate treatises on the subject. In 1833, he published the fourth Bridgewater Treatise, The Hand: Its Mechanism and Vital Endowments as Evincing Design. Bell published four editions of The Hand. [-See Wiki from more info].
