‎First appearance of a major paper in the kinetic theory of gases, in which Maxwell proved that the viscosity was independent of pressure as predicted, and nearly a linear function of the absolute temperature T.One of Maxwell's major investigations was on the kinetic theory of gases. Originating with Daniel Bernoulli, this theory was advanced by the successive labours of John Herapath, John James Waterston, James Joule, and particularly Rudolf Clausius, to such an extent as to put its general accuracy beyond a doubt"" but it received enormous development from Maxwell, who in this field appeared as an experimenter (on the laws of gaseous friction) as well as a mathematician.""James Clerk Maxwell published a famous paper in 1866 (the paper offered) using the kinetic theory of gases to study gaseous viscosity. The internal friction (the viscosity) of the gas is determined by the probability a particle of layer A enters layer B with a corresponding transfer of momentum. Maxwell's calculations showed him that the viscosity coefficient is proportional to both the density, the mean free path and the mean velocity of the atoms. On the other hand, the mean free path is inversely proportional to the density. So an increase of pressure doesn't result in any change of the viscosity.‎

‎""On the Dynamical Theory of Gases."" Received May 16, - 1866.‎

‎(London, Taylor and Francis, 1866). No wrappers, as extracted from""Proceedings of the Royal Society of London."", Vol. XV. May 16, 1866. Pp 167-171.‎

‎First appearance of this seminal paper (in the abstract-version from ""Proceedings""), representing the announcement of Maxwell's final ""Theory of Gases"" and introduces the ""Maxwell Distribution"" in its final form, a statistical means of describing aspects of the kinetic theory of gases, a theory, together with his electromagnetic theory, are considered to be some of the greatest advances in physics of all times. The paper offered, only 5 pages, is an abstract of a paper with the same title, which was printed in full in ""Philosophical Transactions"" in 1868. Everett considers this paper (1868) to be Maxwell's greatest single paper.The ""abstract"", which announces his discovery was printed the year before the larger paper. Maxwell's discoveries laid the foundations of special relativity and quantum mechanics.One of Maxwell's major investigations was on the kinetic theory of gases. Originating with Daniel Bernoulli, this theory was advanced by the successive labours of John Herapath, John James Waterston, James Joule, and particularly Rudolf Clausius, to such an extent as to put its general accuracy beyond a doubt" but it received enormous development from Maxwell, who in this field appeared as an experimenter (on the laws of gaseous friction) as well as a mathematician.In 1866, he formulated statistically, independently of Ludwig Boltzmann, the Maxwell-Boltzmann kinetic theory of gases. His formula, called the Maxwell distribution, gives the fraction of gas molecules moving at a specified velocity at any given temperature. In the kinetic theory, temperatures and heat involve only molecular movement. This approach generalized the previously established laws of thermodynamics and explained existing observations and experiments in a better way than had been achieved previously. Maxwell's work on thermodynamics led him to devise the Gedankenexperiment (thought experiment) that came to be known as Maxwell's demon.‎

‎Recueil comprenant : "Experiments on Colour, as Perceived by the Eye" [Et] "On the Theory of Compound Colours, and the Relations of the Colours of the Spectrum"‎

‎Edimbourg, Londres, 1855, 1860, in-4, 4 pièces en 1 volume, demi-chagrin noir moderne, Ce recueil ouvre sur les mémoires fondamentaux de James Clerck MAXWELL (1831-1879) sur la perception des couleurs, en éditions originales : - "Experiments on colour, as perceived by the eye, with remarks on colour-blindness". Extrait des Transactions of The Royal Society of Edinburgh, vol. XXI, part. II, 1855. Paginé 275 à 298. 1 planche en lithographie. - "On the theory of compound colours, and the relations of the colours of the spectrum". Extrait des Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London, vol. 150, 1860. Paginé 57 à 84. 2 planches en lithographie. Le premier mémoire, lu le 19 mars 1855, est illustré d'une planche qui représente la toupie et les disques utilisés par Maxwell pour ses expériences au sein du laboratoire de J. D. Forbes à Édimbourg, un diagramme de couleurs selon le principe de Newton et un autre selon les expériences du Dr D.R. Hay, auteur d'un ouvrage de 1839 intitulé Nomenclature of Colours. Il inaugure une série de travaux publiés par le célèbre physicien sur la vision des couleurs et sur le daltonisme, à partir des expériences qu'il mena dès 1849 à Édimbourg et qui le conduisirent à confirmer l'hypothèse de Young : toutes les couleurs peuvent naître du mélange de trois couleurs du spectre, pourvu que l'on puisse additionner aussi bien que soustraire les stimuli lumineux. Le second article, lu devant la Royal Society le 22 Mars 1860, contient sa théorie définitive. Dans ce mémoire, illustré de deux planches de diagrammes, Maxwell décrit ses expériences et les instruments qu'il a mis au point pour les mener. La théorie des valeurs trichromatiques de Maxwell est considérée comme l'origine de la colorimétrie. Elle marque le retour de la physique et de la mesure de la lumière et de la couleur dans l'histoire scientifique. Sa méthode est à l'origine de la première photographie en couleurs, le cliché d'un ruban de tartan pris par Thomas Sutton, qu'il projette en 1861 devant un public où figure entre autres de Faraday. Les découvertes de Maxwell ont été récompensées par la médaille Rumford en 1860. Deux autres pièces ont été jointes à la suite : - George WILSON : "On the extent to which the received Theory of vision requires us to regard the eye as a camera obscura". Extrait des Transactions of The Royal Society of Edinburgh, vol. XXI, part. II, 1855. Paginé 327-347. Article qui a été publié à la suite des "Experiments on colour" de Maxwell. George Wilson, directeur du Musée Industriel d'Écosse, fut le premier à proposer une analyse statistique du daltonisme. Ses travaux ont servi à Maxwell pour ses recherches. - John William STRUTT, lord RAYLEIGH (1842-1919) : "On the colours of thin plates". Transactions of The Royal Society of Edinburgh, vol. XXXIII, 1885. Paginé 157-170. 1 planche dépliante en lithographie représentant un diagramme des couleurs. In fine a été rajoutée une planche dessinée à l'encre et légendée en français d'un diagramme de la série de couleurs. On joint, placée à la fin, une lettre manuscrite rédigée par un assistant bibliothécaire, John Hardy, au nom du Dr. Tscherning, secrétaire de la Royal Society of Edinburgh : elle s'adresse à son correspondant français, pour le dispenser de payer ces "soiled and broken copies" qui lui ont été envoyées.

‎First appearance of a major paper on Gas Dynamics, creating a whole new science. One of Maxwell's major investigations was on the kinetic theory of gases. Originating with Daniel Bernoulli, this theory was advanced by the successive labours of John Herapath, John James Waterston, James Joule, and particularly Rudolf Clausius, to such an extent as to put its general accuracy beyond a doubt"" but it received enormous development from Maxwell, who in this field appeared as an experimenter (on the laws of gaseous friction) as well as a mathematician.""Maxwell's last major paper on any subject was ""On Stresses in Rarified Gases arising from Inequalities of Temperature."" Between 1873 and 1876 the scientific world had been stirred by William Crooke's experiments with the radiometer, the well-known device composed of a partuially evacuated chamber containing a paddle wheel with vanes blackened on one side and silvered on the other, which spins rapidly when radiant heat impinges on it....Reynolds called this new effect ""thermal transpiration"". Maxwell gave a simple qualitative explanation in his report, and in an appendix added to his own paper in May 1879 he developed a semiempirical theory accounting for it and for the radiometer effect...Maxwell's paper created the science of rarified gas dynamics. His formulas for stress and heat flux in the body of the gas were contributions of permanent value, while his investigations of surface effects started a vast body of research extending to the present day...One other contribution of great beauty contained in notes added to the papwer in May and June 1879 was an application of the methods of spherical harmonic analysis to gas theory.""(DSB IX, p. 224-25).‎

‎First French edition of ""Theory of Heat"" from 1871. The work contains the description of the so-called ""sorting demon"", a member of a class of ""very small BUT lively beings incapable of doing work but able to open and shut valves which move without friction and inertia"", and thereby defeat the second law of thermodynamics. The demon points to the statistical characyer of the law. (DSB IX, p. 227).‎
