On the Determination of the Number of Electrostatic Units in the Electromagnetic Unit of Electricity. Communicated by Lord Rayleigh. Received June 19, - Read June 21, 1883.
(London, Harrison and Sons, 1884). 4to. No wrappers as extracted from ""Philosophical Transactions"" 1883. Vol. 174 - Part II. Pp. 707-721, textillustrations. Clean and fine.
First appearance (together with the 2 pp. extract in ""Proceedings"") of Thomsons first paper on the electrostatic unit of electricity.""In 1884 Lord Rayleigh,....resigned the Cavendish Professorship of Experimental Physics. Thomson had by then completed a few imperfect bits of laboratory work, including a determination, at Rayleigh's suggestion, of the ratio of the electrostatic to the electromagnetic units of electricity (the paper offered). Rayleigh had intended to collaborate in this work which, apart from its imperfection, was typical of the Cavendish during this area" but Thomson, unaware of many of the pitfalls, ran away with the project, published hastily, and gave his collegues, including the Professor, to doubt that he had any future in experimental physics. With these credits and his mathematics, he competed for the chair" much to his surprise, and to the great annoyance of some of his competitors, who included Fitzgerald, Glazenbrook, Larmor, reynolds, and Schuster, he was elected.""(DSB XIII, p. 365).
On the Vibrations of a Vortex Ring, and the Action upon each other of Two Vortices in a Perfect Fluid. Communicated by Lord Rayleigh. Received November 16, - Read December 8, 1881.
(London, Harrison and Sons, 1883). 4to. No wrappers as extracted from ""Philosophical Transactions"" 1883. Vol. 173 - Part II. Pp. 493-521, textillustrations. Fine and clean.
First appearance of Thomson's second paper on the Vortex Atom. In 1882 he had won a prize with the subject ""a general investigation of the action upon each other of two closed vortices in a perfect incompressible fluid""The first attempt to construct a physical model of an atom was made by Lord Kelvin in 1867. The main point was that in an ideal fluid, a vortex line is always composed of the same particles, it remains unbroken, so it is ring-like.""In fact, the investigations of vortices, trying to match their properties with those of atoms, led to a much better understanding of the hydrodynamics of vortices - the constancy of the circulation around a vortex, for example, is known as Kelvin's law. In 1882 another Thomson, J. J., won a prize for an essay on vortex atoms, and how they might interact chemically. After that, though, interest began to wane - Kelvin himself began to doubt that his model really had much to do with atoms, and when the electron was discovered by J. J. in 1897, and was clearly a component of all atoms, different kinds of non-vortex atomic models evolved.""(Michael Fowler).
On some Applications of Dynamical Principles to Physical Phenomena. Received December 16, 1884, - Read January 8, 1885. (+) Some Applications of Dynamical Principles to Physical Phenomena. - Part II. Received March 31, - Read April 21, 1887. (2 Papers).

First appearance of these importent papers, containing the ideas which was the foundations for his later developed theory of the electron theory of metals.""In a series of papers (the two papers offered), and a book..., Thomson illustrated how to guess at a term in the Lagrangian from a consideration of known phenomena and how, from the term once admitted, to deduca the existence and magnitudes of other effects. he also showed that a time-average of the Lagrangian could play a part of the entropy in certain problems usually handled by the second law of thermodynamics. One of his most importent contributions in this line, was the development of of the notion, perhaps original with him, that electricity flows in much the same way in metals as in electrolytes. He was to return to this idea in founding the electron theory of metals....

Il fait partie de l'école de sciences physiques. Il a ouvert en 1874 comme l'un des premiers laboratoires d'enseignement en Angleterre. Son nom honore Henry Cavendish, fameux physicien anglais de la fin du xviiie siècle. - The Cavendish Laboratory is the Department of Physics at the University of Cambridge, and is part of the School of Physical Sciences. The laboratory was opened in 1874 on the New Museums Site as a laboratory for experimental physics and is named after the British chemist and physicist Henry Cavendish. The laboratory has had a huge influence on research in the disciplines of physics and biology. As of 2019, 30 Cavendish researchers have won Nobel Prizes. Notable discoveries to have occurred at the Cavendish Laboratory include the discovery of the electron, neutron, and structure of DNA. - Professor James Clerk Maxwell, the developer of electromagnetic theory, was a founder of the laboratory and the first Cavendish Professor of Physics. The Duke of Devonshire had given to Maxwell, as head of the laboratory, the manuscripts of Henry Cavendish's unpublished Electrical Works. The editing and publishing of these was Maxwell's main scientific work while he was at the laboratory. Cavendish's work aroused Maxwell's intense admiration and he decided to call the Laboratory (formerly known as the Devonshire Laboratory) the Cavendish Laboratory and thus to commemorate both the Duke and Henry Cavendish. Several important early physics discoveries were made here, including the discovery of the electron by J.J. Thomson (1897) the Townsend discharge by John Sealy Townsend, and the development of the cloud chamber by C.T.R. Wilson. Ernest Rutherford became Director of the Cavendish Laboratory in 1919. near fine copy, the binding is rather fine, without dust-jacket, supposingly as issued, the binding is nice and unmarked, a very small spot on the bottom part, the title on the spine is mainly erased, inside is fine, no markings, paper is fine, name of the former owner on the first page, complete of the 11 plates, with 3 wonderful portraits of Clerk Maxwell, Rayleigh and Thomson, 2 studies were written by J.J.

1 planche hors-texte avec 2 figures (photographies) et 2 autres figures dans le texte (graphiques), complet 1ere traduction en français, 1935 "Contents, Chapitres : Préface, 4 pages - avec 2 appendices : Propagation des ondes dans un milieu supra-dispersif - Trajectoire d'un électron sous l'action d'une force extérieure - Joseph John Thomson, né le 18 décembre 1856 et mort le 30 août 1940, est un physicien britannique. Il a découvert l'électron ainsi que les isotopes et a inventé la spectrométrie de masse ; il a analysé la propagation d'ondes guidées. Il a reçu le prix Nobel de physique de 1906 pour « ses recherches théoriques et expérimentales sur la conductivité électrique dans les gaz ». Ces recherches ont fourni les preuves de l'existence de l'électron. - En 1897, Thomson prouve expérimentalement l'existence des électrons, qui avait été prédite par George Johnstone Stoney en 1874. Cette découverte est le résultat d'une série d'expériences sur les rayons cathodiques. La même année, il énonce son modèle de l'atome, le modèle de plum pudding. - En 1906, Thomson montre que l'atome d'hydrogène ne contient qu'un électron. À cette époque certaines théories ont envisagé divers nombres d'électrons. En 1912, il étudie la composition des mélanges des ions positifs dits « ions anodiques ». Au cours de cette recherche, il mesure la déflexion d'un faisceau de néon ionisé (Ne+) qui passe à travers un champ magnétique ainsi qu'un champ électrique. Sur la plaque photographique qui lui sert comme détecteur, il observe deux taches (voir image) qui correspondent aux atomes de masses 20 et 22. Il conclut que le néon est constitué d'atomes de deux masses différentes ou isotopes. Cette séparation des atomes par leur masse est le premier exemple de la spectrométrie de masse, méthode qui est subséquemment mise au point par Francis William Aston (étudiant de Thomson) et par Arthur Jeffrey Dempster (source : Wikipedia)" 1 ligne de la préface de Cotton soulignée en rouge, sinon bel exemplaire, frais et propre
