Two volumes. First printed in the Philosophical Transactions in the same year, the eleventh series presents Faraday's researches on electro-statical induction. This series was "undertaken with a view to test an idea which he had long possessed, that the forces of attraction and repulsion exercised by free electricity are not the resultant of actions exercised at a distance, but are propagated by means of molecular action among the contiguous particles of the insulating medium surrounding the electrified bodies, which he therefore calls the dielectric. By this idea he [was] led to some very remarkable views upon induction, or in fact upon electrical action in general" (Thomson, Phil Mag, July 1854, p. 50). Itwas in the area of experimental electricity that Michael Faraday accomplished his life's most important work as well as the work for which he is best known. In 1831, experimental science was transformed when his experiments proved that frictional electricity from the clouds was the same as animal… Read More

London: Royal Society of London, 1838. First Edition. Hardcover. Very Good. Faraday makes an early step toward the discovery of the electron. In 1838, he passed an electrical current through a glass tube containing various gases, and noticed a strange "glow discharge" that occurred at both electrodes as he evacuated the tube. The glows extended from both electrodes for some distance as he increased the evacuation, but it never fully met at the middle. Also see our #27489 for Faraday's "Experimental Researches in Electricity -- Fifteenth Series," # 27495 "Experimental Researches in Electricity -- Eighteenth Series" (pp. 17-32), & #27500 with Faraday's "Experimental Researches in Electricity -- Nineteenth, Twentieth & Twenty-First Series" (pp. 1-62), our #27503 which contains Faraday's "Experimental Researches in Electricity -- Twenty-Second Series" (pp. 1-41), our #27506 which contains"Experimental Researches in Electricity -- Twenty-Third Series" (pp. 171-188), #27508 which contains "Experimental… Read More

London: Royal Society, 1849. 1st Edition. FIRST EDITION OF TWO IMPORTANT PAPERS BY MICHAEL FARADAY, EACH PUBLISHED AS PART OF HIS LANDMARK TWENTY-NINE PAPER "EXPERIMENTAL RESEARCHES IN ELECTRICITY" SERIES. Also included, a significant paper by Thomas Graham on the motion of gases; also, an important paper by Gideon Mantell on the iguanodon. Handsomely bound, the volume is complete with Parts 1 & 2 and includes 43 plates. FARADAY: Faraday discusses magneto-crystallic force and the abnormal behavior of various crystals in a magnetic field. Faraday "hoped that when ‘properly understood' the various phenomena examined in terms of their magnecrystallic, crystallographic and optic axes would come under ‘one law [that] will include all these phenomena'" (Kox, No Truth Except in the Details). Faraday was an English chemist and physicist often thought to be the best experimentalist in the history of science. During Faraday's earlier experiments on electro-magnetical theory he had "observed some… Read More

London, 1844. First Edition. Hard Cover. (Richard and John Edward Taylor 1844). First UK Edition in publisher's original green cloth titled in gilt on the spine. viii & 302 pages, including the half-title, illustrated with 5 textual illustrations and 5 plates, including 2 folding plates. Yellow coated end-papers. First edition of volume 2 of the collected edition of Faraday's "Experimental Researches in Electricity", complete in itself. About VG for its age (all 4 corners are bumped; there is pushing and surface loss at the spine ends; both hinges are weak exposing the underlying webbing; a former owner's name and date to the front paste-down). Clean interior. Gilt to the spine still bright and visible. The original mustard yellow end-papers are still present with all five plates (two gatefold) still attached at the rear. Foxing is almost non-existent apart from being present on the plates due to a different paper composition used. Boards are reasonably firm, binding… Read More
