First edition.
Claude Pouillet (1790-1868) was a French physicist and politician, renowned for his scientific research and physics courses he gave jointly with Joseph Gay-Lussac (1778-1850, French chemist and physicist) at the University of the Sorbonne in Paris.
This book gathers together all the lessons given, whose subjects are the main fields of study of physics such as heat, gravity, magnetism, electricity, the actions of molecules, the structure of bodies, elasticity , sound, optics, etc.

Gabriel Lamé (1795-1870) was a French mathematician and physicist, professor at the École Polytechnique and a member of the Académie des sciences. His Cours de physique de l'École Polytechnique (Physics Course of the École Polytechnique) is a fundamental textbook for higher physics education in the 19th century. Volume II is particularly interesting as it covers acoustics and the physical theory of light, areas where Lamé himself made significant contributions, notably in elasticity theory and wave propagation. This course reflects the rigor and breadth of knowledge required for students of the École Polytechnique during this period.

First edition.
This collective work is the proceedings of the Fourth International Synthesis Week, organized by the "Fondation pour la Science" and the "Centre International de Synthèse" in 1935. It brings together presentations and discussions by major figures in physics and philosophy of the time, including Abel Rey (professor at the Sorbonne), E. Bauer (deputy director of the Physics Laboratory at the Collège de France), Louis de Broglie (professor at the Sorbonne and Nobel laureate in physics), Charles Serrus (professor at Lycée Louis-le-Grand), and Léon Brunschvicg (professor at the Sorbonne). The theme, L'évolution de la physique et la philosophie (The Evolution of Physics and Philosophy), reflects the profound epistemological questions raised by the scientific revolutions of the early 20th century (relativity, quantum mechanics) and their philosophical implications. It is an essential document for the history of scientific and philosophical ideas during the interwar period.

First french edition.
Sir Oliver Joseph Lodge (1851-1940) was a renowned British physicist and inventor, F.R.S. and professor of physics at University College, Liverpool. His work Les théories modernes de l'électricité (Modern Theories of Electricity) is an exploration of theoretical advances in electricity in the late 19th century, a period of profound upheaval and discoveries in this field. The book proposes an "essay on a new theory," reflecting efforts to unify the understanding of electrical phenomena. The French translation by E. Meylan, a civil engineer and former editorial secretary of "La Lumière électrique," made these innovative ideas accessible to the French-speaking scientific community, contributing to the dissemination of electromagnetic theories.

First french edition.
Albert Einstein (1879-1955), a world-renowned theoretical physicist, revolutionized physics with his theory of relativity. This work brings together three of his major texts, translated by Maurice Solovine: the first on general relativity, the second on his unified theory of gravitation and electricity, and the third on the cosmological structure of space. This book is a historical scientific document of major importance, offering insight into Einstein's efforts to unify the fundamental forces of nature and his reflections on the universe.

P. Guttemin was a professor of natural history at the Royal College of Angers, a former regent of mathematics and physics in various colleges. His work Historiettes sur la physique, ou nouveau cours de physique expérimentale (Anecdotes on Physics, or New Course in Experimental Physics) is a pedagogical textbook that uses "historiettes" (short stories or anecdotes) to teach physics in a more engaging way. This format aimed to make experimental physics accessible and interesting for students, as indicated by the mention "Work suitable for awarding as prizes in all educational institutions" and "Pretty edition adorned with plates, for the understanding of the text." It reflects a pedagogical approach concerned with illustrating scientific principles through concrete examples.

Jean-Claude Eugène Péclet (1793-1857) was a French physicist, lecturer in physics at the École Normale and professor of physics at the École Centrale des Arts et Manufactures. His Traité élémentaire de physique (Elementary Treatise on Physics) was a very popular and influential textbook in the 19th century, intended for physics education. The work covered various fields of physics of the time, from mechanics to optics, as well as heat and electricity. He is particularly known for his work on heat and heat transfer, which led to the concept of the Péclet number in fluid dynamics.
