Heidelberg, C.F. Winter, 1842. Bound in a nice later hcalf. Raised bands, titlelabel with gilt lettering. In: ""Annalen der Chemie und Pharmacie. herausgegeben von Friedrich Wóhler und Justus Liebig"", Vol. 42. (6),356 pp. Mayer's paper: pp. 233-240. Volume 42 is offered bound together with vol. 41. (8),376 pp. a. 1 folded plate. (This volume contains importent cehemical papers by Kolbe, Cahours, Kopp, Wöhler, Laurent and Liebig (the first printing of Liebig's famous work on animal physiology and pathology)
First printing of one of the most important papers in physics, chemistry and physiology in the 19th century. The paper is the first to propose an equivalence of all forms of energy, including heat, and a conservation of total energy. Although Mayer was the first to set forth the general law of the conversation of energy (the first thermodynamical law), it was James Joule who first put the law on firm footing. ""The paper of 1842 (the paper offered) set out Mayer’s definitive view on the conservation of force and established his claim to priority"" historically the paper also provides insight into the processes through which Mayer arrived at his theory.""(DSB).""Originally trained as a physician, mayer did not enjoy medical practice. About 1840 he began to be interested in physics and he entered thhe field of research, ... In 1842 he not only presented a figure for the mechanical equivalent of heat, but he also clearly presented his belief in the conversation of energy. He had some difficulty getting his paper on the subject published but Liebig finally accepted for the importent journal he edited. Though Mayer was five years ahead of Joule his paper aroused no interest, and in the end it was Joule, with his imposing experimental background. who received credit for working out the mechanical equivalent of heat. And it was Helmholtz who recieved credit for announcing the law of conservation of energy because he announced it so much more systematically. Yet Mayer went further than either of the other two, for he included living phenomena in the realm of energy conservation (a daring step in a decade when vitalism, with its view that the laws of inanimate nature did not apply to living systems, was still a considerable force). Mayer argued that solar energy was the ultimate source of all energy on earth, both living and non-living. He further suggested that solar energy was derived from the slow contraction of the sun, or by the fall of meteors into the sun, in either case kinetic energy being converted to radiant energy.""(Asimov)""After 1860, Mayer was finally given the recognition he deserved. Many of his articles were translated into English, and such well-known scientists as Rydolph Clausius in Germany and John Tyndall in England began to champion Mayer as the founder of the law of the conservation of energy.""(Alan Lightman ""Great Ideas in Physics"", p. 8).Parkinson ""Breakthroughs"" 1842 P. - Magee ""A Source Book in Physics"", p. 196 ff. - Dibner: 157 (listing the offprint with a different title) - PMM: 330 (offprint-version). - Garrison & Morton: 606.

First printing of Mayer's seminal paper which led to the finding of ""magic number"" and the Goeppert-Mayer ""shell model"". Marie Goeppert-Mayer and Marie Curie are the only two women to have received the Nobel Prize in Physics.The nuclear shell model is partly analogous to the atomic shell model which describes the arrangement of electrons in an atom. The nuclear shell model describes the structure of the nucleus in terms of energy based on the Pauli exclusion principle.""With Edward Teller in 1947, Marie Goeppert-Mayer began work on the origin of elements, which led to the finding that stable elements contained what would become known as ""magic numbers"", or patterns in the number of particles their nuclei contain. This ultimately led Goeppert-Mayer to the ""shell model"" of the nucleus - the theory that atomic nuclei owe their stability to the existence of relatively fixed ""shells"" or orbits upon which proton and neutrons travel. While other physicists also had envisioned a shell model, there was no convincing evidence until Marie Goeppert-Mayer, acting on a suggestion made by Enrico Fermi, and German scientist H. H. D. Jensen, working simultaneously but seperatly, discovered that spin-orbit coupling occurred within nuclei."" (Cullen-DuPont, Kathryn. Encyclopedia of women's history in America, 2000, p. 102) ""When Teller and I worked on a paper on the origin of elements, I stumbled over the magic numbers. We found that there were a few nuclei which had a greater isotopic as well as cosmic abundance than our theory or any other reasonable continuum theory could possible explain. Then I found that those nuclei had something in common: they either had 82 neutrons, whatever the associated proton number, or 50 neutrons. Eighty-two and fifty are "" magic "" numbers. That nuclei of this type are unusually abundant indicates that the excess stability must have played a part in the process of the creation of elements."" (Marie Goeppert-Mayer's Nobel Lecture, December 12, 1963)

Scarce first edition - Mayer's MAGNUM OPUS - of this his most original and comprehensive paper, privately printed, BEEING THE WORK THAT FOR THE FIRST TIME INCLUDED LIVING PHENOMENA IN THE REALM OF ENERGY CONSERVATION. In this work Mayer again set out the physical basis of his theory, - in 1842 he was the first to present a figure for the mechanical equivalent of heat, and also stated his belief in the conservation of energy - ""this time extending the ideal of force conservation to magnetic, electrical, and chemical forces. In Die organische Bewegung he described the basic force conversions of the organic world. Plants convert the sun’s heat and light into latent chemical force" animals consume this chemical force as food" animals then convert that force to body heat and mechanical muscle force in their life processes.""(DSB).Mayer submitted this paper to Liebig's Annalen but it was rejected by an assistant editor. The assistant's advice was to try Poggendorff's Annalen, but mayer did not care to foloow that publication route again. In the end, he published the paper privately, and hoped to gain recognition by distribiting it widely. But beyond a few brief journal listings, the paper, Mayer's magnum opus, went unnoticed.""After 1860, Mayer was finally given the recognition he deserved. Many of his articles were translated into English, and such well-known scientists as Rydolph Clausius in Germany and John Tyndall in England began to champion Mayer as the founder of the law of the conservation of energy.""(Alan Lightman ""Great Ideas in Physics"", p. 8).

First appearance of the papers in which Mayer describes his invention of the method of floating tiny magnets in a magnetic field, used in the early twentieth century as a key to discovering or illustrating atomic structure.""Mayer is most remembered (and cited) for his experiments in which magnetized needles were inserted into corks, which were then ftoated on water with their south poles upward, under the north pole of a powerful electromagnet. Under these conditions, certain definite stable configurations were observed “which suggested the manner in which atoms of molecules may be grouped in the formation of definite compounds and which illustrated various properties of the constitution of matter. These experiments won high praise from Kelvin ... and were later used by J. J. Thomson (Electricity and Matter [New Haven, 1904], ... and others as a key to the way in which a characteristic number of electrons might be arranged within the atoms of each chemical element in relation to the periodic table. Mayer thus made a small but significant contribution to the theory of atomic structure."" (DSB)Issue 94 of vol. 16 contains an importent paper by HENRY A. ROWLAND ""Research on the Absolute Unit of Electrical Resistance"", pp. 281-291, in which he established an authoritative figure for the absolute value of the Ohm. - Wheeler Gift: 3967.

Portrait photographique sur papier albuminé en pied de l'actrice, en tenue de tragédienne (Phèdre ou Horace), de Elisa Félix Rachel, dite Rachel ou Mademoiselle Rachel. Une photographie type Carte de visite, à l'albumine, montée sur feuille cartonnée blanche. En pied : Mayer & Pierson. Au dos, vignette aux armes de l'empereur Napoléon III, Mayer & Pierson, photographes de l'empereur, Boulevart des capucines, Paris. Très bel état et superbe tirage. Rachel fut la première véritable "Star" issue du monde des spectacles. Partie de rien, issue d'une famille pauvre, apprenant seulement à lire à 17 ans, chantant dans les rues, Rachel va dès ses premiers rôles électriser le public par son jeu nouveau. Dès lors elle révolutionne complètement l'interprétation de la tragédie classique et sera adulée par le public, la critique qui crie au génie, les écrivains et la noblesse du faubourg Saint-Germain dont elle sera l'égérie.Musset est l'un des premiers à reconnaître son talent : "C'est une créature toute d'instinct, ignorante, vraie princesse bohémienne, une pincée de cendre où il y a une étincelle sacrée". Rachel inspirera Marcel Proust pour le personnage d'actrice du même nom dans A la recherche du temps perdu, amante de Robert de Saint-Loup (la fameuse Rachel Quand-du-seigneur), cocotte qui deviendra la grande tragédienne La Berma. - Photos sur www.Edition-originale.com -

Il existe au moins deux tirages de la première édition de ce texte à la date de 1794 : une portant en toutes lettres le nom du chevalier de Mayer comme auteur (notre exemplaire) ; l'autre ne comprenant que la mention : par M. le chevalier de M***. Puis il y eut une seconde édition en 1795, conservant l'anonymat de l'auteur. Est-ce cette situation qui fit attribuer par Barbier l'ouvrage au chevalier Nicolas de Maistre (1756-1837), un des frères du pamphlétaire contre-révolutionnaire ? Sans doute était-ce un nom plus connu que celui du chevalier de Mayer (1751-1825), mais au témoignage de Lamartine, qui a connu toute la fratrie de Maistre, Nicolas, engagé dans la carrière des armes, était le seul de sa famille à ne pas écrire. Nous ne voyons donc pas de raison d'abandonner la paternité de ce texte au demeurant rare au chevalier de Malte.L'ougrage, quand à lui, décrit le sort tragique de la reine.Barbier III, 70. Martin & Walter, 22 453 (suit l'attribution de Barbier). On trouve quelques notes sur Nicolas de Maistre dans la grande biographie de Robert Triomphe, mais elles sont éparses et peu disertes ; nous n'avons pu avoir accès à la notice de Vermale consacrée au personnage ; insérée dans le périodique Fert de 1930, elle semble peu accessible.Exemplaire de la famille du Pouget de Nadaillac (Périgord), avec marque "Virtus in haeredes" poussée en queue du dos. - - VENTE PAR CORRESPONDANCE UNIQUEMENT
