Description:
1991. Wilkes, Maurice V. Babbage's expectations for his engines. Offprint from Annals of the History of Computing 13 (1991). Without wrappers as issued. Fine. 141-145pp. 281 x 217 mm. Provenance: Maurice Wilkes. First edition, offprint issue. A brief account of the capabilities and limitations of Babbage's Difference Engine and his proposed but never completed Analytical Engine. Of the latter, Wilkes stated that "the Analytical Engine would have been capable of evaluating an arbitrary formula in much the way that a modern digital computer can. Without question it would have been of immense value over a wide range of applications" (p. 144). Wilkes 1999, no. 144. Origins of Cyberspace 1056.

1955. Brenner, Sydney (1927- ) and Stent, Gunther (1924- ). Bacteriophage growth in protoplasts of Bacillus megaterium. Offprint from Biochimica et biophysica acta 17 (1955). 473-475pp. 244 x 166 mm. Small rust-marks from staples, slight soiling, otherwise very good. First Separate Edition. "One-step growth experiments show that bacteriophage C can grow in protoplasts of B. megaterium KM if the cells are infected prior to treatment with lysozyme. The phage yield of infected protoplasts is smaller than that of intact cells, and a single burst experiment establishes that the burst size of individual protoplasts is small" (p. 475). .

Presentation Copy, inscribed by Klein to H. A. Kramers (1894-1952) on the front wrapper: "Doctor H. A. Kramers väuskapsfullt från förf." First Edition, Offprint Issue. Klein, a Swedish theoretical physicist, is best known for the Klein-Gordon relativistic wave equation, the Klein-Nishina formula for Compton scattering from atomic electrons—one of the first results obtained from the study of quantum electrodynamics—and for the Kaluza-Klein theory, a classical unified field theory of gravitation and electromagnetism built around the idea of a fifth dimension. During the early 1920s he worked at Niels Bohr's Institute for Theoretical Physics in Copenhagen,…

Half morocco. A little light dampstaining & foxing, but a very good copy. Leipzig: Engelmann, 1861-64. FIRST EDITION. Early in his career Hering "mastered the difficult problem of visual space perception and was able to challenge the great master in that field, Hermann von Helmholtz, proposing alternate views that emphasized the physiological rather than the physical aspects of sensation. . . . In 1861-64 Hering published a five-part study on visual space perception in which he favored the nativistic theory, arguing that each point of the retina is endowed with three local signs: one for height, one for breadth, and one for depth. Thus he found himself in opposition to Helmholtz and other empiricists, who…

X-XIII). Whole volume, 8vo. iv, 816pp. 27 plates (9 folding). 225 x 150 mm. Quarter morocco, marbled boards, circa 1876. Light rubbing. Occasional foxing, paper a bit toned, otherwise very good. From the library of embryologist / comparative anatomist Robert Wiedersheim (1848-1923; see G-M 183 and 343), with his signature on the front endpaper and occasional marginal marks probably by him. First Edition. Garrison-Morton 495. Hertwig's Habilitationsschrift paper, based on his study of fertilization in sea urchins, established the fact that fertilization consists of the union of the nuclei of a male and a female sex cell, and that only one spermatozoon is required to fertilize an egg. This latter finding had important implications for the study of heredity. Hertwig's paper marks an important conceptual…

Second printing, with cancel title dated 1744, but printed from the same stereotype plates as the first edition of 1739. Ged's pocket edition of Sallust's histories was the first book to announce in print that it had been executed by this new method, as can be seen in the book's imprint: "Edinburghi: Gulielmus Ged, Aurifaber Edinensis, non Typis mobilis, ut vulgo fieri solet, sed Tabellis seu Laminis fusis, excudebat" [Edinburgh: Printed by William Ged, Goldsmith of Edinburgh, not from movable type, as is commonly done, but from cast plates].

Original printed wrappers, detached, front wrapper upper corner torn, some fraying. Good copy. From the library of H. A. Kramers (1894-1952), with his signature in blue pencil on the front wrapper and marginal notes and equations on a few pages. First Edition, Offprint Issue. This copy is from the library of Dutch physicist H. A. Kramers, one of the major contributors to quantum theory; pages 220-221 are extensively annotated with notes and equations in his hand. In 1930 and 1931 Dirac published his "holes" theory of protons and electrons, in which he predicted the existence of an "anti-electron"—a prediction confirmed experimentally in 1932 when Carl David Anderson discovered the positron. The following year Heisenberg and Wolfgang Pauli turned their attention to Dirac's holes theory, hoping to incorporate it into a new joint program on…

1925. Jordan, Pascual (1902-80). Bemerkungen zur Strahlungstheorie. Carbon typescript in German, with manuscript additions. 6ff. N.p., n.d. [1925]. 286 x 225 mm. Creased horizontally, edges a bit crinkled, but very good. Apparently Unpublished Paper written in response to Einstein's "Bemerkung zu P. Jordans Abhandlung: ‘Zur Theorie der Quantenstrahlung'" (Zeitschrift für Physik 31 [March 1925]: 784-785). We can find no evidence that Jordan's paper appeared in any journal, and this typescript copy, with formulae and other additions in Jordan's hand, may be the only copy in existence. Jordan, one of the authors of the famous Dreimännerarbeit on quantum matrix mechanics, obtained his doctorate in physics from Göttingen in 1924 with a thesis on the light-quantum problem, which was published in the Zeitschrift für Physik under the title "Zur Theorie der Quantenstrahlung" (Z. Phys. 30 [December 1924]: 297-319). At that time Bohr and other quantum physicists had raised a number of objections to…

Einstein's correction to his formula for the viscosity coefficient * = (1 + ), a key equation in his 1905 doctoral thesis, in which he had presented a new theoretical method for determining molecular radii and Avogadro's number. In 1910 Jacques Bacelin, a pupil of French physicist Jean-Baptiste Perrin, obtained experimental results indicating a possible error in Einstein's formula. "That prompted Einstein, after an unsuccessful attempt to find an error, to ask his student and collaborator Ludwig Hopf to check his calculations and arguments . . . Hopf did find an error in the dissertation, namely in the derivatives of some velocity components, and obtained for a corrected coefficient 2.5 . . .In…
