Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is a critical examination of physics during the 18th century, focusing on the behavior of gasses. It details the work of prominent figures in the field and the experiments they used to draw conclusions concerning the properties of air. The experiments and observations, initially academic, found practical applications, leading to the development of useful machines and devices, which are also described by the author. Ultimately, the author demonstrates how these investigations of gases and the quest to understand their properties laid the foundation for modern chemistry.

Contemporary quarter flat-backed calf, gilt-bands, dual black and red-orange spine labels on each vol.; label chipped on vol. I. Very good. First collected edition. "The author had planned to reprint his Lecons de physique (1767) with some additions but found so many changes were necessary that a new work was needed. The present work, designed to accompany his Description et usage d'un cabinet de physique experimentale (1775), follows the arrangement of that work. Extensive notes, both mathematical and for applications to chemistry and natural history are found at the end of each volume. / Some of the topics of chemical interest are: vol. I principles of compound bodies and chemical affinities; III fixed air, the effects of air on the animal economy and, in the Supplement, a description and usage of new apparatus for experiments with gases; IV phlogiston and fire." â" Cole 1212. / "Although primarily on physics, this work contains much of purely chemical interest and importance: e.g., differences between physical mixtures and chemical compounds, affinity, Paracelsian tria prima, Becher's terra pinguis, Stahl's theory of phlogiston, atoms and molecules, crystallization, double decomposition of salts, sympathetic inks, chemical indicators, precipitation, sublimation, preparation of various gases and their collection over water or mercury, theories of calcination, acids and bases, and the nature of fire. There are many references to the researches of Boyle, Guericke, Hales, Boerhaave, Newton, Macquer, Priestley, Lavoisier, Guyton de Morveau, and others." â" Neville. / PROVENANCE: copy of Martin C. Gutzwiller (unmarked) (1925-2014), was a Swiss-American physicist, known for his work on field theory, quantum chaos, and complex systems. He spent most of his career at the Watson Research Center for IBM Research. He was also an adjunct professor of physics at Yale University (1993-2014). Other institutional affiliations included Shell Oil Company. REFERENCES: Cole 1212; Partington, III, 105; Neville, II, pp. 474-5; Poggendorff, II, 927; Wheeler Gift 543. JWRB Cat 302:82.

Contemporary pink boards, flat blue paper spine decorated with gilt fillets and cipher. D.S.B. p.427.Second enlarged edition by Rouland.A pupil of Nollet and a teacher of Fourcroy, Sigaud de la Fond was a professor of experimental physics who left his mark on his era. We owe him the substitution of glass for resin as an insulator in electrical machines, and numerous experiments on air and hydrogen.Very attractive copy.

Hardcover. Condition: Good. 2nd Edition. Second edition, revised and expanded by M. Rouland. Four volume set. xxxii, 635, [1 bl.] pp. with 7 fold-out plates; 565, [1 bl.] pp. with 10 fold-out plates; 576 pp. with 4 fold-out plates; 622 pp. with 4 fold-out plates. Hardcovers, bound in full speckled calf. The bindings rubbed with patches of similar leather. Text clean; small holes top margin of volume four. Sigaud was a French physicist who was, along with his master Abbé Nollet, one of the promoters of experimental physics. He is considered the inventor of the "physics cabinet" and discovered with Maquet (and before Lavoisier) that the combustion of hydrogen with atmospheric air produced water.

Two volumes. 8vo. 198x124 mm. [4], xvi, 396; [4], 474, [2] pp. Half-titles, title vignette, 53 folding engraved plates of laboratory apparatus, head and tail pieces.

Second edition, revised and enlarged, by Urbain Francois Roulaud, professor of physics and demonstrator at the University of Paris, also the nephew of Sigaud de Lafond. This work on laboratory equipment and technique was originally issued in 1775. This new edition notably depicts two plates (volume I, plates IXbis and XIbis) illustrating a machine by George Atwood (1745-1807), FRS, a pump by Hesse and the hydraulic machine invented by Vera, whose purpose, clearly pedagogical, is to show experimentally and support Isaac Newton's laws of motion. / His numerous teaching experiments delved into many areas: electricity, chemistry, phosphorus, the recipe for toothpaste, medical uses, heat, distillation, precipitation, acoustics, air pressure, electricity, pumps, the inclined plane, the crane, centrifugal force, gravity, etc. / The plate XIII, for example, Tome 2: "in which a bird is placed under a bell jar and the air is evacuated with an air pump. This demonstrates the importance of air for breathing. The text describes how the bird first finds it difficult to breathe, then convulses, and finally perishes." [History of Science Museum, Oxford]. / Sigaud de la Fond, an obstetrician, studied under and succeeded the Abbe Nollet at the College Louis-le-Granc, taught courses of anatomy, physiology, and experimental physics. In 1795, he became a professor of physics and chemistry at the Ecole Centrale. REFERENCE: DSB, XII, p. 428.
