Essai D'Hygrométrie ou sur la Mesure de L'Humidité. (And:) Suite de L'Essai D'Hygrométrie. 2 vols. - [INVENTION OF THE HYGROMETER]
(Berlin, Haude et Spener, 1771 and Berlin, C.F. Voss, 1774) 4to. No wrappers, as issued in ""Memoires de l'Academie Royale des Sciences et Belles Lettres"", tome XXV, pp. 68-127 with 3 folded plate, and ""Nouveau Mémoires Année 1772"", pp. 65-102 and 2 engraved plates.
First edition of Lambert's importent work which laid the foundation of the science of Hygrometry and coined the word ""Hygrometer"". The first instrument was build by the instrumentmaker G.F. Brander after Lambert's description. It consisted of a cat-gut string, the expansion and construction of which was transferred to a wheel-work, and shown on a scale divided by 360 gr.. This was afterward adopted by Saussure. - The second paper ""Suite de..."" is devoted to a discussion of the different hygrometers.The principles and construction were later published in his famous book ""Hygrometrie"" Augsburg 1774-75. - Poggendorff I:1356 - Rosenthal, Litteratur der Technologie P. 263. - Attached is two other memoires (Gledisch: Correction caracteristique succinte du Genre de L'Albuca et de L'Alethris de Linné. pp. 57-67 and Beguelin: Extrait des Observations Météorologiques faites a Berlin par Orde de Academie dans les Années 1768. et 1769. pp. 128-164.
Mémoire su la Résistance des Fluides avec la Solution du Probleme balistique.
(Berlin, Haude et Spener, 1767). 4to. No wrappers as issued in ""Mémoires de l'Academie Royale des Sciences et Belles-Lettres"", tome XXI, pp.102-188.
First edition. Together with Lambert's work is a mémoir by Johann Friedrich Meckel: Observations anatomiques sur la Glande Pineale, sur la Cloison transparante, et sur L'origine du Nerf de la septieme paire."" pp. 91-100, and 2 folded engraved plates. (1767). Meckel is known for his description of ""Meckel's Ganglion"" and ""Meckel's Cave"".
Sur la Densité de L'Air.
(Berlin, Chretien Frederic Voss, 1774. 4to. Uncut, without wrappers extracted from ""Nouveaux Mémoires de l'Academie Royale des Sciences et Belles-Lettres"", Année 1772., pp. 103-140 and 1 engraved plate.
First edition, the journal form. This work is an investigation that connects Lambert's studies on hygrometry - he actualy invented the Hygrometer - and on ballistics and friction.
Sur le Frottement entant qu'il rallentit le mouvement.
(Berlin, C.F. Voss, 1774). 4to. Uncut without wrappers as extracted from ""Nouveaus Mémoires de l'Academie Royale des Sciences et Belles-Lettres"", Annee 1772., pp. 9-32 and 1 engraved plate.
First edition. In this paper Lambert develops a theory of friction and confronts it with experimental results by himself and others.
Sur les Porte-Lumieres appliques a la Lampe. (And same author:) Observations sur l'Encre & le Papier.
(Berlin, C.F. Voss, 1772). 4to. Without wrappers, extracted from ""Nouveau Mémoires de l'Academie Royale des Sciences et belles-Lettres"", Année 1770, pp. 51-57 and pp. 58-67.
Both papers first edition. In the first paper the design of a new lamp is presented, modelled after Lambert's previous studies on the ""porte-voix"". The second deals with ink and paperdegeneration. Because a lot of Lambert's manuscripts became unreadable through water damage during the time they were stored in Switzerland before being transported to Berlin, Lambert goes into the causes of ink and paper degeneration. Through experimentation he arrives at the kind of ink and paper that withstand humidity best.
Sur quelques Instrumens Acoustiques.
(Berlin, Haude et Spener, 1770). 4to. No wrappers as issued in ""Memoires de L'Academie Royale des Sciences et Belles Lettres"", tome XIX, 1763. pp.87-124 and 2 folded engraved plates.
First edition of one of Lambert's importent papers on the acoustics and sounds in relation to musical instruments. Lambert performs basic experiments with the instruments and gives the results in a generalized mathematical form.
Sur la Vitesse du Son. (+) Memoire sur la Partie Photometrique de L'Art du Peintre. (2 Papers).
(Berlin, Haude et Spener, 1770). 4to. No wrappers, as issued in ""Mémoires de l'Academie Royale des Sciences et Belles Lettres"", Année 1768, tome XXIV, pp. 70-79 a. pp. 80-108 a. Clean and fine.
First printing of both papers. In the paper on photometrics Lambert uses his photometric theories on the art of painting, and it has a long, remarkable discussion of the technics used by Leonardi da Vinci. - The first paper deals with the propagation of sound waves in different media.

---- EDITION ORIGINALE ---- TRES BEL EXEMPLAIRE ---- "G. Lamé, (1795/1870), was elected professor of physics at the Polytechnic school in 1832. Subsequently he held various engineering posts and professorships in Paris. As engineer he took an active part in the construction of the first railroads in France. Lamé devoted his fine mathematical talents mainly to mathematical physics. In four works : Leçons sur les fonctions inverses des transcendantes et les surfaces isothermes, Sur les coordonnées curvilignes et leurs diverses applications, Sur la théorie analytique de la chaleur, Sur la théorie mathématique de l'élasticité des corps solides and in various memoirs he displays fine analytical powers... His work Examen des différentes méthodes employées pour résoudre les problèmes de géométrie contained a new method for calculating the angles between faces and edges of crystals".

First printing of Lanczos important paper in which he clearified the nature of the Event Horizon of Black Hole that r = (pi*R)/2 in the De Sitter solution corresponds to an event horizon and not to a singularity.
Über eine stationäre Kosmologie im Sinne der Einsteinschen Gravitationtheorie. - [THE EXACT SOLUTION TO THE EINSTEIN FIELD EQUATION]
(Berlin, Julius Springer, 1924). 8vo. Bound in contemporary half cloth. In: ""Zeitschrift für Physik"", 21-22 band, 1924. Find and clean. Pp. 73-110. [Offered volume: Pp. 382, V, 416.]
First printing of Lanczos exceelingly important paper in which he discovered an exact solution of the Einstein field equation which represents a cylindrically symmetric rigidly rotating configuration of dust particles. This was later rediscovered by Willem Jacob van Stockum and is known today as the van Stockum dust. It is one of the simplest known exact solutions in general relativity and regarded as an important example, in part because it exhibits closed timelike curves. Lanczos served as assistant to Albert Einstein during the period of 1928-29.

First printing of Landau's ""fundamental work in the field of the theory of metals, showing that the degenerate electron gas possesses diamagnetic susceptibility"" (DSB), often referred to as Landau diamagnetism. ""His best known work from this time is his diamagnetism of metals in which he showed that not only the spins of free electrons contribute to the magnetic properties of a metal but also their orbits. The motion of such electrons is allowed only for discrete energy values, the Landau levels."" (Brandt, The Harvest of A Century).

First printing of Landau and Peierls's important paper in the development of quantum field theory. The present paper became seminal for Bohr and Rosenfeld's 1933 paper which is often credited with having laid the foundation for quantum electrodynamics.Landau and Peierls published a critical analysis of the consequences of such limitations in a relativistic quantum theory of fields (second paper offered). Landau and Peierls came to the negative conclusion that in several cases, the concept of momentum was without physical meaning and quantities such as the strength of a field was un-measurable.

Quantenelektrodynamik im Konfigurationsraum. - [THE LANDAU-PEIERLS WAVE FUNCTION]
Berlin, Springer, 1930. 8vo. Bound in contemporary half cloth with gilt lettering, In ""Zeitschrift für Physik"", Band 62, 1930. Entire issue offered. Two stamps to title page, otherwise fine. Pp. 188-200. [Entire volume :VIII, 801 pp].
First printing of this important paper containing the first appearance of the Landau-Peierls wave function. ""Landau and Peierls argued that field measurements could not be performed unambiguously and hence that current quantum electrodynamics was inconsistent. The Landau-Peierls criticism caused concern until 1933, when Bohr and Rosenfeld showed that the consequences of quantrum electrodynamics were consistent with the best possible measurements of electromagnetic field quantities. (Kragh, Quantum Generations).
