‎überarbeitete Fassung der Ausgabe von 1837 Wellcome 2, 138 (dort mit 1836 und only part III) des erfolgreichen populären zoologischen Werkes. - Auf dem fliegenden Vorsatz mit dem handschriftlichen Besitzvermerk "Edward A. Wilson. Oct. 1905", darunter in Bleistift von anderer Hand "Scott's last expedition. This book was taken to the Antarctic by E.A.Wilson 1910 - 1913". Obwohl die Innenfälze des Vorder- und Hinterdeckel angebrochen sind, das obere Kapital leicht angerissen und der Einbandbezug leicht fleckig, scheint mir persönlich der Zustand des Exemplares zu gut erhalten für einen Artefakten der berühmten Geschichte von Scotts 2. Antarktik Expedition bei der Edward A. Wilson, zusammenn mit Scott und Henry „Birdie“ Bowers am 29. März 1912 verstarb. Wilson (1872 - 1912) Mediziner und Zoologe war bereits an der Discovery-Expedition 1901 - 1904 als wissenschaftlicher Leiter beteiligt. Zurück von der mehrjährigen Reise erholte er sich im Sommer 1905 in Irland von den Strapazen der unzähligen öffentlichen Auftritten, Vorträgen und Einladungen. Dabei kam er in Kontakt mit dem Naturalisten Barrett-Hamilton der ihn als Illustrator für eine neue Monografie der " A History of British Mammals" engagierte. Wilson lebte im Herbst 1905 in Bushey einem Künstlerort in der Nähe von London. Obwohl er keine akademische Kunstausbildung besass wurden seine zoologischen Illustrationen zu Standarts der Naturgeschichte Grossbriitanniens. Über den Verbleib seiner Bibliiothek scheint nichts bekannt zu sein. Revised version of the 1837 edition Wellcome 2, 138 (there with 1836 and only part III) of the successful popular zoological work. - The flyleaf endpaper with the handwritten ownership note ‘Edward A. Wilson. Oct. 1905’, underneath in pencil by another hand ’Scott's last expedition. This book was taken to the Antarctic by E.A.Wilson 1910 - 1913’. Although the inner folds of the front and back cover are cracked, the upper capital slightly torn and the cover slightly stained, the condition of the copy seems to me personally too well preserved to be an object brought back from Scott's 2nd Antarctic expedition on which Edward A. Wilson, together with Scott and Henry ‘Birdie’ Bowers, died on 29 March 1912. Wilson (1872 - 1912), a physician and zoologist, had already been involved in the Discovery Expedition of 1901 - 1904 as scientific director. Back in Ireland in the summer of 1905 after several years of travelling, he recovered from the stresses and strains of countless public appearances, lectures and invitations. This brought him into contact with the naturalist Barrett-Hamilton, who engaged him as an illustrator for a new monograph of ‘A History of British Mammals’. In the autumn of 1905, Wilson was living in Bushey, an artists' village near London. Although he had no academic art training, his zoological illustrations became standards in the natural history of Great Britain. Nothing seems to be known about the whereabouts of his library.

‎Together with the English version - published 1912 in the Proceedings of the Royal Society - this is Wilson's main paper relating ""that the track of an ionizing particle might be made visible and photographed by condensing water of the ions which is liberated"". The first trails were obtained in 1911 where he submitted a short note of this to the Proceedings. In the offered paper he published the first tracks made by the ionizing particles of alpha, beta and Röntgen-rays. This, Wilson Cloud-Chamber, became an extremely valuable instrument of fundamental research, the discovery of the positron in 1932 and the kaon in 1963 were made by using cloud chambers as detectors.""But the whole course of the particle appears infinitely more clearly by the method invented by C.T.R. Wilson in 1911 and named after him. The radiation is allowed to enter an expansion-chamber, containing a gas saturated with water vapour. A sudden expansion of the chamber cools the gas, and cloud-drops are then formed instantly around the ions produced along the tracks of the particles. By suitable illumination these tracks can be made to stand out clearly as if they had been described by luminous projectiles. The ""Altmeister"" of modern nuclear physics, Lord Rutherford, once called the Wilson chamber ""the most original and wonderful instrument in scientific history"".""Thomson Rees Wilson (1869-1959), a Scottish physicist, is credited with inventing the cloud chamber. Inspired by sightings of the Brocken spectre while working on the summit of Ben Nevis in 1894, he began to develop expansion chambers for studying cloud formation and optical phenomena in moist air. Very rapidly he discovered that ions could act as centers for water droplet formation in such chambers. He pursued the application of this discovery and perfected the first cloud chamber in 1911. In Wilson's original chamber the air inside the sealed device was saturated with water vapor, then a diaphragm is used to expand the air inside the chamber (adiabatic expansion). This cools the air and water vapor starts to condense. When an ionizing particle passes through the chamber, water vapor condenses on the resulting ions and the trail of the particle is visible in the vapor cloud. Wilson, along with Arthur Compton, received the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1927 for his work on the cloud chamber. (Wikipedia).‎

‎Exemplaire des archives de l'éditeur, Georges-Bazile, dédicacé par le président Wilson : " Cordially & respectfully yours, Woodrow Wilson ". Remarquable revue britannique fondée et animée par le seul Cecil Georges-Bazile pendant la guerre de 14-18, dans le but de faire connaître auprès du public français la littérature d'outre-Manche et d'outre-Atlantique. Georges-Bazile traduire et publiera de nombreux textes deKipling, Wells, G.-B. Shaw et Oscar Wilde. Introduction et portrait de l'auteur par Theodore Stanton, qui était un collaborateur de Cécil Georges-Bazile. Correspondant du New York Tribune de nombreuses années à Berlin, il gagne ensuite Paris et travailla dans le journalisme militant pacifisme. La revue donne ici livraison de trois textes de Wilson : "Mere literature", paru dans "Atlantic monthly, December 1893, "The author himself" [L'Auteur lui-même], paru dans "Atlantic monthly, September 1891" et "On an author's choice of company" [De la Compagnie d'un auteur], paru dans "Century magazine, March 1896". En juin 1918, plus de deux millions de soldats américains sont engagés dans la guerre et la victoire est acquise. W. Wilson espère alors modifier radicalement l'ordre mondial, promouvoir les démocraties et la paix. Il participe aux négociations avec les trois autres puissances européennes victorieuses (le Royaume-Uni, la France et l'Italie) qui se terminent par le Traité de Versailles (1919).Le 8 janvier 1918, Wilson prononce un discours au Congrès donnant la liste des 14 points nécessaires à l'obtention de la paix. « The world must be made safe for democracy » (La paix dans le monde pour l'établissement de la démocratie) réclame notamment la création d'une « League of Nations » (SDN). Les autres points serviront de base au traité de Versailles de 1919 - à l'origine de la création de la SDN. Après la signature de l'Armistice, le gouvernement allemand accepte d'ouvrir les négociations de paix à partir des « 14 points » développés par le président Wilson ; un mois après, le président Wilson embarque pour la France afin d'assister à la Conférence de paix de Paris. C'est la première fois qu'un président américain en exercice se rend dans un pays étranger durant son mandat. En juin 1919, Wilson présentera en personne le Traité de Versailles à la ratification par le Congrès. Les Républicains y sont opposés ainsi qu'une partie significative des démocrates, conduite par Henry Cabot Lodge qui souhaite la soumettre à d'importantes restrictions. Les raisons de cette opposition sont multiples : certaines sont économiques, d'autres politiques (il y a beaucoup de citoyens de souche allemande dans le middle-west, or le Traité de Versailles est jugé trop sévère envers les vaincus auxquels le droit des peuples à disposer d'eux-mêmes est refusé).En septembre, alors que le Congrès n'a toujours pas ratifié le Traité de Versailles, Wilson décide de parcourir les États-Unis pour prononcer des discours en faveur de sa ratification et pour promouvoir son idée de Société des Nations. La dégradation de sa santé l'empêchera de finir sa tournée. Il reçoit en novembre le Prix Nobel de la paix pour son action pendant la Première Guerre mondiale. Entretemps, Georges-Bazile lui aura fait parvenir cet exemplaire, tiré sur grand papier, lequel lui renverra avec l'ex-dono autographe adressé à l'éditeur.

‎First printing of the paper in which Wilson had brought his Cloud Chamber to perfection and showed the photographic tracks of the particles. The Cloud Chamber was the first detector of radioacticity and nuclear transmutations and it played an importent role in experimental particle physics e.g. the discovery of the positron. Wilson received the Nobel prize - together with Arthur Compton - in physics in 1927 for his work on the Cloud Chamber.""The 21 cloud chamber pictures of X-rays and beta-rays on coated stock printed recto only were the culmination of many years research by Wilson and at last showed the full potential of this method as a tool for particle physicists. Early in 1911 (Wilson) was the first person to see and photograph the tracks of individual alpha-particles and electrons. The event aroused great interest as the paths of the alpha-particle were just as W.H. Bragg had drawn them in publication some years earlier. But it was not until 1923 (the paperoffered) that the clous chamber was brought to perfection and led to his two, beautifully illustrated classic papers on the track of electron.""

‎First printing of Wilson's second importent paper describing his further experiments with his ""Cloud Chamber"".""To the period 1895-1912 belongs the development of an instrument which to my mind is the most original and wonderful in scientific history.I refer to the cloud or expansion chamber of C.T.R. Wilson...It was a wonderful advance to be able to se, so to speak, the details of the adventures of these particles in their flight through the gas....""(Lord Rutherford).""C.T.R. Wilson had been developing his cloud-chamber, which was to provide the most powerfull of all methods of investigation in atomic physics. In moist air, if a certain degree of supersaturation is exceeded this can be secured by a sudden expansion of the air) condensation takes place on dust-nuclei, when any are present: if by preliminary operations condensation is made to take place on the dust-nuclei, and the resulting droplets are allowed to settle, the air in the chamber is thereby freed from dust. If now X-rays or radiation from a radioactive substance are passed into the chamber, and if the degree of supersaturation is sufficient, condensation again takes place: this is due to the production of ions by the radiation. Thus the tracks of ionising radiations can be made visible by the sudden expansion of a moist gas, each ion becoming the centre of a visible globule of water. Wilson showed that the ions produced by uranium radiation were identical with those produced by X-rays."" (Whittaker in ""A History of the Theories of Aether and Electricity."" II, p. 4).‎

‎First printing of this groundbreaking paper in which Wilson describes the invention which made it possible to view the track of a single atomic projectile or electron. The invenvention of the ""Dust-Chamber"" made it possible for J.J. Thomson in 1897 to calculate the charge of the electron, and thereby finding its mass, since the ratio between the two was known. In most cases it was found that the track of the particle is a straight, or nearly straight line.""C.T.R. Wilson had been developing his cloud-chamber, which was to provide the most powerfull of all methods of investigation in atomic physics.
