Important memory of Clement and Désormes : "Détermination expérimentale du Zéro absolu de la chaleur et du calorique spécifique des Gaz".
This work was submitted to the Academy of Sciences in 1812, but didn't win the price and wasn't printed in the memory of the academy. It thus appears here for the first time .
It deal with the determination of the absolute zero and the specific heat of gas.
Presentation copy of Antoine César Becquerel to his grandson Henry with this : "Donné à mon petit fils henry, qu'il conserve cela en souvenir de mes trois premiers mémoires publiés en 1819 et du tendre attachement que je lui porte".
These three memories on mineralogy are in pages 235-240, 308-309, 462-467.
AMPERE, André Marie || BABINET.

First edition, separately-paginated offprint of this early publication on electricity and magnetism in which Ampère and Babinet review the latest discoveries concerning electromagnetism.
Papper first published as a supplement to the French translation by Jean-René-Denis-Alexandre Riffault of the fifth edition of Thomas Thomson's Système de chimie.
Ampère notably presents his famous rule called "Ampère's rule" which describes the direction in which a magnetized needle moves near a conducting wire in which a current flows. His galvanometer, a device for measuring current intensity. As well as the idea of an electric telegraph system.
Book that bears witness to the excitement caused among physicists by Oerstedt's experiment in 1820 which opened a new scientific field, electromagnetism.

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.

HERSCHEL, John Frederick William.
Traité de la lumière, traduit de l'anglais avec notes par MM. P.-F. Verhulst et A. Quetelet.
Paris, Malher et Cie-L. Hachette, 1829-1833.
More Details >
350 €
First edition in French of Herschel's treatise on light: "Light", published in 1827 in "Encyclopaedia Metropolitana".
The major delay due to the change of editor in 1833 allowed the translator, Quetelet, to write an important supplement in the second volume, pages 333 to 602. He introduced new discoveries such as the phenakistiscope of Plateau, at origin of the cinematograph (pages 471 to 489).
"John Herschel was a mathematician as well as an astronomer, was the first to take a photograph onto glass and gave us the terms, ‘photography’, ‘negative’, ‘positive’, and snapshot’. His researches extended into corneal irregularities and astigmatism and he realised that in these cases vision could be improved by neutralising the cornea. Herschel suggested the making of moulds of the eye with gelatine although there is no evidence that this was actually done. He included these observations in his article on ‘Light’ in 1827".

Mémoire sur la Théorie des Nombres, Présenté a l'Académie des Sciences, le 31 Mai 1830, par M. Augustin Cauchy.
First edition of this important memoir (pp/ 249 to 768 of this volume of memoirs of the academy of sciences).
The writing of this memoir is quite abrupt, with a succession of formulas difficult to relate to each other, and it will be criticized by Biot in particular.
However, Jenny Boucard, after an in-depth study of Cauchy's work, concluded that Cauchy exposes a coherent method around the quadratic forms 4p^μ=x²+ny² which he applies in different cases, depending on whether n is prime or compound. (Boucard, p.365).

Cham, pseudonym of Amédée de Noé (1818-1879), is a French illustrator, caricaturist and playwright known and recognized.
This book is atypical and at the opposite of those received in schools!
It is a collection of very humorous illustrations, which are about the principles of Physics. With its simple, fast, sharp and precise style, Cham manages to make readers laugh about serious areas in the different fields of this science.

Alfred Cornu (1841-1902), is famous for his three measurements of the speed of light between 1872 and 1874, made with the method of Fizeau for which he had great admiration.
The last and the best was done between the Observatory and the Montlhéry Tower. This article of 315 pages, is devoted to this last experiment.
The article "Recherches sur les observations magnétiques faites à l'observatoire de Paris de 1667 à 1872", by M. G. Rayet is bound in at the end of the volume.

"A monumental work in which Berthelot "laid the foundation of thermochemistry" (Zeitlinger). His researches began a new epoch, and in this work he introduced the terms exo- and endo-thermic. Although a number of chemists before him had made contributions regarding the evolution and absoption of heat in chemical reactions, it was Berthelot whose experimental determinations cover almost the whole range of chemical reaction." ... "Most copies lack the important and rare Supplément" (Neville).
