‎First edition of ""the first announcement of the voltaic 'pile,' or electric battery"" (Grolier/Horblit). It was a breakthrough in physics, and led to the development of electrotechnology and is today regarded as being one of the major milestones in the history of science. ""The voltaic pile revolutionized the theory and practice of electricity, so that within one hundred years of Volta's invention, more progress was made than in the two thousand four hundred years between the tentative experience of Thales and the publication of Volta's letter addressed to Sir Joseph Banks, President of the Royal Society ... The indispensability and ubiquity of electricity, in one form or another, in western civilization today emphasize sharply the fact that before 1800 human environment and existence were closer to life in ancient Egypt than to our own. Volta's invention is one of the earliest and most important causes of the change"" (PMM).""The paper, in French, was sent by Volta to his friend Cavallo in London for communication to the Royal Society. In it Volta describes the pile of alternating dissimilar metals (silver and zinc) which, when moist, generated a flow of constant-current electricity. With this new force water was decomposed, metal was electro-deposited, the electro-magnet was created and the electrical age was begun.""(Dibner Heralds of Science, no. 60).Horblit 37b Norman 2164 PMM 255Sparrow 168Dibner 60Barchas 2092‎

‎First French edition of these 3 letters to Gren in which Volta described his last steps towards his groundbreaking construction of his famous ""Pile"". In the letters he established the first law governing an electrical fluid and he anticipated both Davy and Faraday.""In 1796 Volta wrote three letters to Gren (published in German in Gren's N.J. der Physik). In THE FIRST he describes 'a very remarkable experiment'. A tin cup filled with soapy water, milk of lime, or better fairly strong alkaline ley, was held with one or both hands moistened witn ater, and the tip of the tongue dipped into the liquid. A sour taste was at once perceived by the tongue in contact with the alkaline liquid, which soon, changed into a salty and finally into a sharp alkaline taste. The acid taste was 'produced by the current of the electric fluid passing from the tin to thee alkaline liquer, from there to the tongue, then through the body to the layer of water and from there to the tin in a continous current..... In his SECOND LETTER Volta repeats this 'law' of the combination of three conductors. The mutual contact of silver and tin, for example, produces 'an action, a force, by means of which the first gives the electric fluid and the second receives it. If the circuit is completed by a humid concustor, a current or continous circulation of this fluid is set up in the direction indicated in the table (depicted on the attached plate)... In his THIRD LETTER Volta describes experiments in which plates of silver and zinc so smooth that they adhered on contact, polished, dry, and insulated, were brought in close contact, and separated by pulling them perpendicularly apart. They gave small deflections when applied directly to the electrometer...."" (Partington ""A History of Chemistry"", Vol. IV, pp. 10-12).‎

‎Très rare état de l'édition originale à laquelle ont été ajoutées (aux exemplaires qui n'avaient pas encore été débités) les additions faites à Paris par Voltaire lui-même, additions qui sont imprimées en caractères différents de ceux de l'édition Ledet, et sur papier à la marque de Jacques Duval de la Généralité de Rouen. Elles comprennent : 1, Sur un premier feuillet imprimé en regard sur deux colonnes, Avertissement des libraires de Londres [avertissement de l'édition parisienne] et Avertissement des libraires d'Amsterdam [en réponse au précédent].2, Éclaircissements nécessaires.3, Les Tables des chapitres et des Matières.4, Additions de la Philosophie de Newton, par le chap. vingt-six : Du Flux et du reflux.Voltaire commença la composition de son principal ouvrage scientifique pendant l'été de 1736, inspiré par les études mathématiques et scientifiques de la marquise Du Châtelet et l'exemple de Francesco Algarotti. Il propose de convertir les Français au newtonianisme ; rejetant le dialogue, employé par Fontenelle, Algarotti et d'autres, et afin de mettre la science à la portée du public, il adopte un ton sérieux, des illustrations géométriques et des calculs.L'ouvrage parut avant que Voltaire eût envoyé la fin du 23e chapitre et le 24e ; malgré sa réticence, l'éditeur hollandais fit achever cette édition par un mathématicien anonyme et ajouta au titre : mis à la portée de tout le monde. Voltaire fit publier une nouvelle édition à Paris chez Prault, à laquelle il ajouta quelques cartons changeant très peu le texte de l'édition originale.Un frontispice gravé où figure Mme Du Châtelet tenant en main un miroir qui éclaire le visage de Newton ; un portrait de Newton, un portrait de Voltaire par Folkema, 25 culs-de-lampe par Dubourg, Folkema, Konder, Decave, B.

‎---- EDITION ORIGINALE ---- BON EXEMPLAIRE ---- "Voltaire' importance for the history of science lies particularly in his having composed a famous popularization of Newton, Eléments de la philosophie de Newton (1738), while collaborating with his companion and mistress, Emilie, Marquise Du Châtelet, on her translation of the Principia into french...". (DSB XIV pp. 83 et suivantes) ---- BABSON N° 120 : "From 1725 to 1728, Voltaire lived in exile in England and became a fervent admirer of the Newtonian philosophy which he introduced into France . He may have met Newton... In 1736, while a refugee in Holland, he sent the first chapters of his "Elémens" to the Amsterdam publisher, Ledet, but departed without supplying the rest of the manuscript. Finally 25 chapters were printed, with the additional phrase on the title "Mis à la portée de tout le monde". The text is preceded by a poem and dedication to Voltaire's mistress, the brilliant Marquise du Châtelet, who collaborated with him in the study of Newton" ---- Gray N° 39**7236/ARB5‎

‎First edition. As the north and south poles, instead of being fixed points on the earth's surface, wander round within a circle of ab. 5o ft. in diameter, the result is a variability of terrestial latitudes generally. Volterra gives an elaborate mathematical analysis of these yearly fluxtuations.‎

‎ REPRINT of the 1862 edition "Contents, Chapitres : Introduction, LXXII (72 pages), Text, 119 pages - Baron Dr. Carl (Karl) Ludwig von Reichenbach (full name: Karl Ludwig Freiherr von Reichenbach) (February 12, 1788 January 1869) was a notable chemist, geologist, metallurgist, naturalist, industrialist and philosopher, and a member of the prestigious Prussian Academy of Sciences. He is best known for his discoveries of several chemical products of economic importance, extracted from tar, such as eupione, waxy paraffin, pittacal (the first synthetic dye) and phenol (an antiseptic). He also dedicated himself in his last years to research an unproved field of energy combining electricity, magnetism and heat, emanating from all living things, which he called the Odic force. - In 1839 Von Reichenbach retired from industry and entered upon an investigation of the pathology of the human nervous system. He studied neurasthenia, somnambulism, hysteria and phobia, crediting reports that these conditions were affected by the moon. After interviewing many patients he ruled out many causes and cures, but concluded that such maladies tended to affect people whose sensory faculties were unusually vivid. These he termed ""sensitives"". 'Influenced by the works of Franz Anton Mesmer he hypothesised that the condition could be affected by environmental electromagnetism, but finally his investigations led him to propose a new imponderable force allied to magnetism, which he thought was an emanation from most substances, a kind of ""life principle"" which permeates and connects all living things. To this vitalist manifestation he gave the name Odic force. (source : Wikipedia)" fine copy, no markings - year estimated to 2005, no date inside‎
