About this Item

+++J.J. Thomson, James Dewar, William Sutherland, and others.+++ "The London, Edinburgh, and Dublin Philosophical Magazine and Journal of Science", printed in London, Richard and John E.Taylor, fifth series, volume XL, July-December, 1895. 8vo, viii, 552pp, 7 engraved plates. Bound in half calf with decorated boards, calf tips, with raised bands. Condition: there is some small amount of scuffing to the spine and along the joints and tips, though not overly so; this is a tight, crisp, sturdy copy. Very Good. +++ There are a number of interesting articles in this volume of the Philosophical Magazine, including the significant entry by J.J. Thomson: J.J. Thomson, "On the Relation between the Atom and the Charge of Electricity Carried by it", pp 511-544 ".that Paper and the deductions which Prof THOMSON has drawn therefrom mark one of the most important stages in the history of chemical theory. A careful perusal of that Paper can hardly fail to carry conviction in regard to the main propositions as to the dependence of chemical reaction upon the actual electrification and the normal electro-chemical properties of the atoms concerned."--The Electrician, Feb 7, 1896. The others include, for example: William Sutherland (1859-1911, and expert in molecular physics), "On the Fundamental Atomic Laws of Thermochemistry,", another very long article by him, pp 1-56, and a good point of reference for this scientist whose long association with the Phil Mag began just a few years before; James Dewar and J.A. Fleming, "On the Thermoelectric Powers of Metals and Alloys.", pp 95-119; Myer Wildermann, "Experimental Proof of Van't Hoff's Constant, of Arrenhius' Generalization, and Ostwald's Law of Dilution", pp 119-144; John Trowbridge and William Duane, "On the Velocity of Electric Waves", pp 211-225 (I should point out that the less-known Duane's obituary was written in 1935 for the National Academy of Science by P.W. Bridgman); Liveing and Dewar, "On the refraction and Dispersion of Liquid Oxygen, and the Absorption Spectrum of Liquid Air", pp 268-272; James Dewar and J.A. Fleming, "On the Variation in the Electrical resistance of Bismuth, when collected to the temperature of Solid Air", pp 303-311; George Johnstone Stoney, "On the Kinetic Theory of Gas, regarding as illustrating Nature", pp 362-383.
