Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the phenomena of comets, particularly the enigmatic tails that extend behind them. The author argues that these tails are not solid objects, as previously believed, but rather consist of an extremely rare, vaporous atmosphere composed of particles that are mutually repellent. This repellency is similar to the behavior of air particles, which expand infinitely in the absence of external force. The author further proposes that the Sun's atmosphere plays a crucial role in shaping and directing these cometary tails, leading to their distinctive appearance. This book provides a comprehensive analysis of these celestial phenomena, offering a deeper understanding of the composition and behavior of comets and their place within the solar system. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.…

Stitched Pamphlet. Condition: Good. First Edition. ORIGINAL Stitched Pamphlet (8 3/8 in. x 5 1/2 in. [vi] pp. 87. Andrew Oliver proposed that comet tails were made up of air, and that life could exist in such air. 87 pp. INCLUDES FOLDING PLATE.(here detached but present) comprising Figures 1 through 6 illustrating his theses about the nature of comets. Inked ciphering (addition problems) to v, 1, 86 and rear panel. Inked name (David Thompson?) to p. 86. Moderate toning to text block, which is printed on thick laid bond. Lacks half-title. Erratum present on pp. vi. The author writes (in his Preface): "The reader will find (in the introduction) that the consideration of the subject, in this light, was first started by Hugh Williamson, M.D. of Philadelphia, in a treatise that was published in one of the weekly papers; which, as it contained some new thoughts, the pursuit of which (it was judged) would tend to the improvement of natural philosophy, first induced the author to undertake the following Essay, upon a subject indeed which, till then, he had but little attended to." Andrew Oliver (1731-1799) was an American jurist and scientist. his father (Andrew Oliver Sr.), though of somewhat mixed loyalties, was nontheless the infamous and unfortunate British official assigned to Massachusetts Bay Colony, to enforce the extremely unpopular Stamp Act, and who was later burned in effigy, his offices and homes attacked and burnt. Oliver Jr., attended Harvard college, graduating in 1749 before continuing his studies and earning master's degrees at Yale (1751) and Harvard (1752). After marrying, Oliver relocated to his wife's hometown of Salem. He held minor public offices before becoming a county judge in 1761 and a representative of Salem to the Massachusetts General Court the following year. When the [American Revolution] broke out, his loyalist family went into hiding while he remained in Salem, not for any political reason, but rather to continue his scientific inquiries into the nature of air. Inspired by Benjamin Franklin and other contemporaries, he also asserted that electricity permeates air and studied its role in causing thunderstorms. .Oliver attempted to explain the direction of the comet s tail by the pressure of the sun s atmosphere . . . (Excerpted from Wikipedia). Jean-Sylvain Baily, the French astronomer, thought enough of Oliver s introduction of electricity into the problem to translate his pamphlet into French.
