‎First appearance of an importent historical paper in the investigations of radiation from cathode rays. This is Crookes first 2 papers on attraction and repulsion. In the same year he invented the ""light-mill"".""While working with his balance in a vacuum, Crookes noticed another ""anomaly"": the equilibrium of the balance was disturbed by slight differences in temperature of his samples. Inparticular he noticed that warmer bodies appeared to be lighter than colder ones:....At first Crookes believed this was a signpost pointing to a link between heat and gravitation....Since the attraction or repulsion was heighned by a decrease in pressure, Crookes was led s to suppose in 1873 that ""the movement is due to a repulsive action of radiation"" Repulsion was produced not only by heat radiation but also by light, and Crookes concluded - erraneously, as it turned out - that he had found a genuine case of ""the pressure of light"" postulated by the unfashionable corpuscular theory of light and Maxwell's as yet unaccepted electromagnetic theory.""(DSB III:477).Sir William Crookes (1832-1919) studied at the Royal College of Chemistry , London, and served there as an assistant to Hoffmann. In 1859 he founded the Chemical News and remained its proprietor and editor until his death. he early attracted attentuion by his discovery of the element thallium by spectroscopic methods. he was an active investigator in many fields of physics and contributed greatly to the advance of knowledge by his study of the radiometer and of the electric discharge in rarefied gases. -(PMM: 386 describing J.J. Thomson's Cathode Rays). - Magee, Source Book in Physics p. 564 ff.‎

‎On the Spectra of Argon. Received January 26, - Read January 31, 1895.‎

‎(London, Harrison and Sons, 1895). 4to. No wrappers as extracted from ""Philosophical Transactions"" 1895 - Vol. 186 - Series A, Part I. Pp. 243-251 and 1 plate (The Spectra of Argon). Clean and fine.‎

‎First appearance of a classic paper in which Crookes by his spectrographic methods confirms the discovery of argon by Ramsey and Rayleigh in 1895. The plate is the first to show the spectra of argon, the first of the inert gases to be discovered.The paper first describes the spectra obtained by passing an electric discharge through argon at very low pressures,. Several specimens of argon (some containing traces of nitrogen) were invested. Crookes distinguished between the spectral lines attributable to argon and those of nitrogen and verified that the argon isolated by Lord rayleigh and William Ramsay was truly a new chemically inert element.

‎First appearance of Crooke's statement that radioactivity seems to violate the principle of the conservation of energy.""Despite his speculative powers, Crookes at first took a conservative view of this new science, for he could not believe that radioactive elements decayed spontaneously, since this seemed to imply a violation of the conservation of energy. It was his view, expressed between 1898 and 1900, that the source of activity was external to the radioactive element. He imagined that radium, say, had the ability to act as a Maxwellian demon and select from the atmosphere those air particles which were moving more swiftly than the average, absorb some of their energy, and eject them at a lower speed. This theory, which never received full publication, contravened the second law of thermodynamics"" and although Crookes thought that he might have experimental support for it, his evidence did not measure up to the critical scrutiny of Stokes."" (DSB).The issue contains another notable paper HENRI BECQUEREL ""Sur la dispersion anomale de la vapeur de sodium incandescante, et sur quelques conséquenceas de ce phénomene"", pp. 145-151.This theory, which never received full publication, Page 480 | Top of Articlecontravened the second law of thermodynamics" and although Crookes thought that he might have experimental support for it, his evidence did not measure up to the critical scrutiny of Stokes.‎

‎First appearance of an importent paper which reports a series of experiments with the radiometer, invented 1875 by Crookes. In these experiments Crookes showed how the radiometer confirmed Maxwell's prediction that the viscosity of a gas was independent of its pressure except at the highest exhaustions.Sir William Crookes (1832-1919) studied at the Royal College of Chemistry , London, and served there as an assistant to Hoffmann. In 1859 he founded the Chemical News and remained its proprietor and editor until his death. he early attracted attentuion by his discovery of the element thallium by spectroscopic methods.

Thore communicated to a scientific society at Dax a short paper describing some results he had obtained on the rotation of a delicately suspended cylinder of ivory. So remarkable were these results that in a private letter to myself, accompanying a printed copy of his paper, Mr. Thore said ""they seem to demonstrate the existance of a new force inherent in the human organism.""

‎On radiant matter spectroscopy: Samarium‎

‎Londres, Harrison and sons, 1885, in-4, 32 pp paginées de 691 à 723, Broché, couverture imprimée, 22 figures. On radiant matter spectroscopy: Samarium est la deuxième partie d'un ouvrage contenant certains article de William Crooks, chimiste et un physicien britannique, ayant donné son nom à la technique des tubes de Crookes, qui ont ouvert la voir aux tubes cathodiques, à la technologie des tubes électroniques et à la découverte des rayons X. Il a étudié au Royal College of Chemistry de Londres et y a servi comme assistant d'Hoffmann. En 1859, il fonda le Chemical News et en resta propriétaire et rédacteur jusqu'à sa mort. il a très tôt attiré l'attention par sa découverte de l'élément thallium par des méthodes spectroscopiques. il fut un chercheur actif dans de nombreux domaines de la physique et contribua grandement à l'avancement des connaissances par son étude du radiomètre et de la décharge électrique dans les gaz raréfiés. Dans ces articles, il poursuit ses expériences sur les rayons cathodiques avec son tube de Crookes, obtenant des spectres d'éléments qu'il considère comme nouveaux. Ses expériences le conduisent ici à sa théorie spéculative des éléments ayant un ancêtre commun, une matière primordiale. Ouvrage enrichi d'un hommage de l'auteur, non signé, à "monsieur E. Becquerel" : Edmond Becquerel (1820-1891), physicien célèbre pour ses travaux sur la lumière, le phénomène de la luminescence et sur les techniques de reproduction photographique; il était le père d'Henri Becquerel.

‎First apperance - simutaneously with an English version - of the paper in which Crookes is summing up his importent investigations on cathode-rays, describing the ""Crooke Tube"", the ""Lines of pressure"", his ""Light-Mill"", his Radiometer and the electric discharge in rarified gases etc., investigations leading to the discovery of the electron by J.J. Thomson in 1897.""With his thorough grounding in the experimentally difficult art of vacuum physics, Crookes laid the foundation for the fuller investigation by J. J. Thomson of the behavior of radiant matter in the discharge tube, showing, for example, that it induced phosphorescence in minerals like the diamond" that it caused the glass of the discharge tube to phosphoresce that its stream could be deflected by a magnet" and, most important of all, that since it cast a shadow of an opaque object (for example, a Maltese cross), it traveled in straight lines and was corpuscular in nature...""(DSB).The volume contains further notable papers E.H.

‎""Radio-activity of Uranium.""‎

‎(London, Harrison and Sons, 1900). Without wrappers. Extracted from ""Proceedings of the Royal Society of London"", Vol. 66. Pp. 409-422 a. 1 photographic plate.‎

‎First printing of an importent paper which pawed the way to the understanding of radioactivity. Crookes showed by using photographic plates as indicators of activity that if uranium was purified, it could be separated chemically into a nonactive portion and a radioactive portion that he called uranium X. ""In May 1900 Sir W.Crookes showed (the paper offered) that it was possible by chemical means to separate from uranium a small fraction, which he called uranium X, which possessed the whole of the photographic activity of the original substance. He found, moreover, that the activity of the uranium X gradually decayed, while the full activity of the residual uranium was gradually renewed, so that after a sufficient lapse of time it was possible to separate from it a freh supply of uranium X. These facts had an importent share in the formation of the theory (of radioactivity)."" (Whittaker ""A History of the Theories of Aether and Electricity"" Vol. II, p. 5.).‎
