‎Untersuchung uber die Geschichte der Kuhpocken : in besonderer Hinsicht auf die Ausrottung der Kinderpocken. - [EARLY WORK ON SMALLPOX]‎

‎Nürnberg, 1800. 8vo. In contemporary half calf with gilt lettering to spine. Small paper-label pasted on to top of spine. A fine copy. XII, 132 pp.‎

‎Rare first German translation of Pearson's work on smallpox translated by J. Fr. Küttlinger (originally published in 1798 under the following title: ""An Inquiry Concerning the History of the Cowpox, Principally with a View to Supersede and Extinguish the Smallpox""). Vaccination reached the European continent in 1800 and the present publication is one of the very earliest to describe this. Pearson was an early supporter of smallpox vaccination and endorsed Edward Jenner, promptly publishing his initial observations shortly after Jenner's Inquiry was released. In 1799, he played a key role in establishing the Original Vaccine Pock Institute in London, distributing vaccine samples. Unfortunately, some of these samples were contaminated with the smallpox virus, leading to a disagreement with Jenner, who felt overshadowed. As Jenner gained prominence, Pearson became envious. In 1802, when Jenner sought financial recognition from Parliament, Pearson presented a detailed account of his own contributions, challenging Jenner's sole credit for the discovery of vaccination. Pearson highlighted farmer Benjamin Jesty and others with prior claims. Despite Pearson bringing Jesty to London in 1805 to support his case during Jenner's second Parliamentary grant request, it proved unsuccessful. Not in Garrison & Morton‎

‎First appearance of the founding papers of modern mathematical statistics, out of which grew Pearson's creation of Biometrics.""Founder of biometrics, Karl Pearson was one of the principal architects of the modern mathematical statistics. He was a polymath whose interests ranges from astronomy, mechanics, meteorology and physics, to biological sciences in particular, including...eugenics, evolotionary biology,heredity......Largly owing to his interests in evolutionary biology, Person created, almost single-handedly, the modern theory of statistics in his Biometric School at University College London.... In his creation of biometrics, out of which the discipline of mathematical statistics had develoiped by the end of the nineteenth century, Person introduced a new vernacular for statistics (including such termss as the standard deviation, mode, homoscedasticity, heteroscedasticity, kurtosis and the producct-moment correlation coefficient."" (Heyde in Statisticians of the Centuries).In the first paper offered here Person introduced the method of moments as a mean curve fitting assymetrical distributions (""point-binominals"") and he applies the theory to crabs and prawns. This is a general method for determining the values of the parameters of a frequency distribution.In the second paper offered here, Pearson develpoed the general formula to use for subsets of six types of frequency curves, now known as ""Pearson Type Curves"".In his seminal paper ""Regressin, Heredity and Panmixia"", the third papers offered here, Pearson introduced matrix algebra into statistical theory and also introducing 'eta' as a measure for curvilinear relationship, the standard error of an estimate, multiple regression and multiple and partial correlation, and devises the coefficient of variation as a measure of the ratio of a standard deviation to the corresponding mean expressed as a percentage.In the fourth paper he deals with the theory of probable erros and of correlations of errors...In the fifth paper he deals with the theory as involving multiple correlations...stature in biology is shown to be best reconstructed from measurements of long bones.The last paper offered deals with a variety of biological correlations, inheritance of characters etc. etc.G.M.

‎In this fundamental paper in statistics, Pearson introduced his chi-squared test, the statistical procedure whose results are evaluated by reference to the chi-squared distribution, or the formula yielding a measure of how well a set of observations fits a theoretical hypothesis, the test of goodness of fit. A founding seminal paper in statistical testing theory.""Pearson’s many contributions to statistical theory and practice, many contributions to statistical theory and practice, this X2 text for goodness of fit is certainly one of his greatest"" and in its original and extended forms it has remained one of the most useful of all statistical tests.""

‎Third expanded edition of Pearson’s highly influential ‘Exposition of the Creed. First published in 1659 it remained on the the most influential works on the Apostles’ Creed in the Anglican Church throughout the 17th century. Pearson dedicated his work to his parishioners of St. Clement's, Eastcheap, where he had previously preached the essence of the work several years earlier. Regarding the Christian cross, he explained in his commentary on the Apostles' Creed that the Greek term stauros initially meant ""a straight standing Stake, Pale, or Palisador,"" but when additional transverse or prominent parts were added to form a perfect Cross, it still retained its original name. He asserted that ""The Form then of the Cross on which our Saviour suffered was not a simple, but a compounded, Figure, according to the Custom of the Romans, by whose Procurator he was condemned to die. In which there was not only a straight and erected piece of Wood fixed in the Earth, but also a transverse Beam fastened unto that towards the top thereof.""‎

‎The grammar of science -- EDITION ORIGINALE‎

‎London, Scott, 1892, un volume in 8 reldié en pleine toile éditeur, (défraîchie, avec traces de mouillures sur la partie supérieure du premier plat), 16pp., 493pp., figures dans le texte, 12pp. (catalogue de l'éditeur)‎

‎---- EDITION ORIGINALE ---- "In the 1890's the sole duty of the lecturer in geometry at Gresham College seems to have been to give three courses per year of four lectures to an extramural audience on topics of his own choosing. Pearson's aim in applying for the lectureship was apparently to gain an opportunity to present some of his ideas to a fairly general audience... These lectures, developed and enlarged, became the first edition of The grammar of science (1892), a remarkable book that influenced the scientific thought of an entire generation... The Grammar of science anticipated in many ways the revolutionary changes in scientific thought brought about by Einstein's special theory of relativity. Pearson insisted on the relativity of all motion, completely restated the Newtonian laws of motion in keeping with this primary principle and developed a system of mechanics logically from them...".

‎First appearance of the statistical paper in which the authors introduced the conceptS of 'Multiple Correlation' and 'Partial Correlation'. ""Pearson did not pursue the theory of multiple and partial correlation beyond the point to which he had carried it in his basic memoir on correlation (1896). The general theory of multiple and partial correlation and regression was developed by his mathematical assistant, G. Udny Yule, in two papers published in 1897. Yule was the first to give mathematical expressions for what are now called partial correlation coefficients, whcih he termed ""net correlation coefficients."" What Pearson had called coefficients of double regression, Yule renamed net regressions"" they are now called partial regression coefficients. The expressions ""multiple correlation"" and ""partial correlation"" stem from the paper written Alice Lee and read to the Royal Society in 1897.""(DSB).‎

‎First appearance of this importent paper in which Pearson, expressed what he christened ""Galton’s Law of Ancestral Heredity"" in the form of a multiple regression equation of offspring on midparental ancestry. It is a statistical formulation of Galton’s law in the form of a multiple regression of offspring on ""midparental"" ancestry, with deductions therefrom of theoretical values for various regression and correlation coefficients between kin, and comparisons of such theoretical values with values derived from observational material. (DSB).The title ""Contributions to the Mathematical Theory of Evolution"" or ""Mathematical Contributions. . ."" was used as the general title of 17 memoirs, numbered II through XIX, published in the Philosophical Transactions or as Drapers’ Company Research Memoirs, and of 8 unnumbered papers published in the Proceedings of he Royal Society ""Mathematical"" became and remained the initial word from III(1896)on.‎

‎First printing of the single most important volume of The Physical Review containing an exceptional number of important papers - amongst other the first paper to describe the transistor: One of the most important inventions of the 20th Century which awarded them the Nobel Prize in physics in 1956.,The three first titles are the short letters in Physical Review which first announced the invention of the transistor. The following year Bardeen and Brattain published the more comprehensive report ""Physical Principles Involved in Transistor Action"". This paper was simultaneously published, the same month, in The Bell System Technical Journal (Number 2 volume 28). In 1956 Bardeen and Brattain shared the Nobel Prize in Physics with William Shockley ""for their researches on semiconductors and their discovery of the transistor effect"". In 1972 Bardeen again received the Nobel Prize in Physics for his part in the development of the theory of superconductivity (BCS-theory), and thus became the only person, until this day, to receive the Nobel Prize more than once in the same field. ""The invention of the transistor would in time change the world by making possible the microchip and all the devices that followed from it, but the discovery ruined the spirit of the Bell Laboratories semiconductor group. Shockley, who had been uninvolved in the invention of the original transistor, stunned Bardeen and Brattain when he tried to patent the invention in his name, hoping to base it on his suggestion of the field-effect amplifier. Shockley's plan failed because the patent attorneys discovered that Julius E. Lilienfeld, a Polish-American inventor, had already patented the field-effect notion in 1930. Shockley further antagonized Brattain and Bardeen by preventing them from working on the consequences of their historic invention, a second transistor, known as the junction device, which could better be used commercially."" (DSB)The issue also contain two of the papers leading to Richard Feynman's 1965 Nobel Prize in Physics, (A Relativistic Cut-Off for Classical Electrodynamics & Relativistic Cut-Off for Quantum Electrodynamics) and the paper that led to Polykarp Kusch's 1955 Nobel Prize in Physics (The Magnetic Moment of the Electron)Also containing Maria Goeppert-Mayer paper that led to her 1963 Nobel Prize in Physics (On Closed Shells in Nuclei), the seminal P.
