[p.259 - p.264] Complete journal Note: (1) this is the first edition of the early work that led Millikan to the determination of Planck´s constant (h). It was Einstein who in 1921 was awareded the Nobel prize in Physics for his work on the photoelectric effect with Millikan awarded the Physics Nobel Prize in 1923 “for his work on the elementary charge of electricity and on the photoelectric effect". From the American Physical Society - "In 1915, Millikan experimentally verified Einstein's all-important photoelectric equation, and made the first direct photoelectric determination of Planck's constant h. Einstein’s 1905 paper proposed the simple description of ‘light quanta,’ or photons, and showed how they explained the photoelectric effect. By assuming that light actually consisted of discrete energy packets, Einstein proposed a linear relationship between the maximum energy of electrons ejected from a surface, and the frequency of the incident light. The slope of the line was Planck’s constant, introduced 5 years earlier by Planck. Millikan was convinced that the equation had to be wrong, because of the vast body of evidence that had already shown that light was a wave. If Einstein was correct, his equation for the photoelectric effect suggested a completely different way to measure Planck's constant.“Millikan undertook a decade-long experimental program to test Einstein's theory by careful measurement of the photoelectric effect, and even devised techniques for scraping clean the metal surfaces inside the vacuum tube needed for an uncontaminated experiment.“For all his efforts Millikan found what to him were disappointing results: he confirmed Einstein's predictions in every detail, measuring Planck's constant to within 0.5% by his method. But Millikan was not convinced of Einstein's radical interpretation, and as late as 1916 he wrote, ‘Einstein's photoelectric equation... cannot in my judgment be looked upon at present as resting upon any sort of a satisfactory theoretical foundation,’ even though ‘it actually represents very accurately the behavior’ of the photoelectric effect. He received the Nobel Prize in part for this discovery nonetheless"

Deventer, Henrici, Neues Hebammen-Licht, 1728, first German Edition, original velum Binding with pen title to spine, fold out plates, (some with damage) edges bumped, text with light foxing, finger marks to some pages, This is the German version of van Deventer’s Dutch work, which refers to a “New Light” in obstetrics, Nieuw Ligt. At the time, it was the most useful and forward-thinking text for the midwives of the 18th century. The book includes the morphological differences of the pelvis between men and women, the dangers posed by rickets in relation to childbirth, among many other advances in obstetrics for the time Hendrik van Deventer (1651-1724) was a renowned Dutch obstetrician. Van Deventer is often mistakenly thought to have been born in The Hague, but he was in fact born in Leiden. Interestingly, he first trained to be a goldsmith, but at the age of 20 an early career change saw him train with a pharmacist from Hamburg. By the age of 28, van Deventer began his practice as a male-midwife in Friesland. Van Deventer’s broad work experience informed his insights into the sex differences in the development of the pelvis, arguing that the female pelvis was formed in such a way as to allow the functioning of the birth canal. In 1694, van Deventer was given the degree of Doctor of Medicine, which enabled him to conduct his work outside of the parish. Hi is considered on of the founing fathers of modern obstetrics
George Frick, Diseases of the Eye, 1826, octavo (8vo), in later binding, green cloth, book plate reads 'The Institute of Opthalmology, London, Ex Libris, with single folding plate of opthalmic surgical instruments, condition, untrimmed text block, slight foxing to pages some oxidising to edges, spine with light sun bleaching corners bumped.
Natural History - Hooker, William Jackson, FRS, ASLS, Taylor, Thomas, MD, MRIA & FLS, title 'Muscologia Britannica; containing the mosses of Great Britain & Ireland Systematically Arranged and Described…' 1st edition, printed 1818, 8vo, 152 pages, 31 plates, with catalogue of other publications at the back, paper covered boards, Presentation Copy from Thomas Taylor, to his friend Dr. Whitley Stokes (1763-1845), an Irish physician, and contains a written dedication from Taylor to Stokes to rear of title page which reads 'To Dr Whitley Stokes with thanks for his instructions and the liberal use of his herbaccia from Thos. Taylor', condition, boards loose, string binding perishedtext block untrimmed, light foxing to plates. As one of the earliest taxonomic works of the mosses of Great Britain and Ireland, this book holds significant cultural and scientific value. Hooker and Taylor’s efforts build on Johann Hedwig’s theories of the fertilisation and reproduction of mosses. What makes Muscologia Britannica of particular importance is that the text represents the first evidence of consensus among botanists of the era as to the appropriate taxonomic classification of mosses. The work is an incredible undertaking, especially considering the technology of the time, with 31 plates included in the text that illustrate the plants in wonderful detail. Sir William Jackson Hooker (1785-1865) and Thomas Taylor (1786-1848) were both botanists, active just after the turn of the 19th century. Sir William became the first director of Kew Gardens in 1841 after it was placed under state ownership and was responsible for expanding the Gardens significantly. At least 17 plants have been named after him. Taylor was a Professor of Botany and Natural History in the Royal Cork Scientific Institution, and a prolific academic. In addition to the book included in this auction he is known to have written 23 research papers. Sir William named the moss genus Tayloria after him, a genus in the moss family Splachnaceae comprising 45 species across 6 subgenera.
Sigmund Freud, Group Psychology and the Analysis of the Ego, first edition, first impression, first issue with no mention of Hogarth Press on the title page, 1922, Octavo (8vo), 133p, original green cloth cover gilt text, condition: edges bumped, spine edges worn, stain on back board, light foxing to a few pages, light toning to pages. Group Psychology and the Analysis of the Ego - within the psychoanalytical community, Freud’s Group Psychology and the Analysis of the Ego is a polarising work. Some analysts decry it as a minor piece, merely reiterating his earlier works. Other analysts praise it as an important text providing new avenues for analytical exploration of the psyche, particularly in regard to humankind’s “thirst for obedience”. Group Psychology focuses on the nature of leadership, and the hypnotising effect that can be held over a crowd. Freud, Sigmund, (1856-1939) is most famous for founding psychoanalysis. Freud’s theories and therapeutic techniques led to much of the psychology we see today. Indeed, several branches of psychology are directly attributable to Freud’s work, including dream interpretation, talking therapies, and false memory creation, among others. Although the psychosexual emphasis of his work is discredited in the modern day, Freud identified many of the relationships between the different facets of the human psyche and the world around us.

* Robinson (Henry Peach, 1830-1901) & Cherrill (Nelson King, active 1860s-1870s). Preparing Spring Flowers for Market, 1873, mammoth composite albumen print from multiple negatives, laid on original card mount, signed in the negative by both partners lower left, 'H. P. Robinson & N. K. Cherrill, Tunbridge Wells', a little creasing and bruising to centre left edge, image size 54 x 76 cm, additionally titled and identified in brown ink on lower fillet, original wooden frame with carved rope twist and hatched borders, overall size 73 x 94 cm QTY: (1)NOTE:Henry Peach Robinson opened his first studio in London, and worked in Leamington Spa, before relocating to Tunbridge Wells in Kent. He hired Nelson King Cherrill as an assistant in 1868, and such was his talent that the duo soon entered a business partnership. Until it was dissolved in 1875, (after which Cherrill continued as a successful photographer in New Zealand), the partnership flourished, specialising in artistic photography and studio portraits, and receiving numerous medals for their European and American exhibits. This photograph was probably first exhibited at the Photographic Society of Great Britain, Pall Mall East, London, in 1873. Other examples located are a hand-coloured version at the Getty Museum and one at Tunbridge Wells Museum and Art Gallery. A wood-engraved reproduction of the photograph appeared in the Illustrated London News, 8 November 1873.‘Preparing Spring Flowers for Market, 1873, signed by both partners, is a composite picture constructed on similar lines to A Cottage Home, 1859, by Robinson, and his later interiors: When the Day's Work is Done, 1877, and Dawn and Sunset, 1885. However, there are very significant differences between Preparing Spring Flowers for Market and these others. In no other photograph by Robinson are the figures turned away from each other as though the one was not aware of the relationship between them. The unnatural pose of the girl standing with her gaze fixed on the distance, although within the confines of a small cottage, is most unlike any other Robinson portrayal. The effect of such posing is to create a feeling of unease in the viewer. Another difference between this picture and the others is in the treatment of the dimension of depth. The interior of the cottage in Preparing Spring Flowers for Market appears to be shallow owing to the amount of light falling on the walls behind the two girls. In the other three a better impression of depth is given because of the lower lighting levels on the areas behind the figures. These factors lead one to suppose that Cherrill was responsible for the conception, arrangement and lighting of Preparing Spring Flowers for Market. If that is so the indications are that Cherrill was very skilled in the techniques of photography but that he lacked Robinson's sensitivity and skill as an artist.’ Margaret F. Harker, Henry Peach Robinson: Master of Photographic Art, 1830-1901, (Oxford: Blackwell), 1988, p. 58.
* Cricket Match Stereoview. An early stereoview of a cricket match at North Runcton Hall, Norfolk, c. 1859-60, a pair of mounted albumen prints showing a cricket match in progress with a small marquee and oak trees in the background, images positioned within gilt borders on thin white card, contemporary manuscript note to versoQTY: (1)NOTE:Early cricket photographs showing games in play are very rare. The earliest such photograph known to date is one taken by the celebrated Crimean War photographer Roger Fenton in 1857. In 2014 a photograph of I Zingari the Household Brigade taken at Lord's on 9 June 1859 came to light. A photograph of a cricket match at Eton from the early 1860s contained in a memorial album was sold in these rooms in 2015. The newly discovered stereoview offered here, which would appear to date from no later than 1860, is the latest addition to the early photographic history of cricket.
*Cricket Match 1866. Two original team photographs for a cricket match between the Gentleman of Norfolk XI v. I Zingari XI, held at Sandringham, Norfolk, 17 & 18 July 1866, two albumen print photographs, mounted on rectos of two album leaves with ink team annotations to mounts, images 174 x 237 mmQTY: (2)NOTE:A fine pair of early cricketing photographs, notable also for the only appearance in a cricket match by the Prince of Wales (later King Edward VII). Correction: It has come to light since going to print that there is a photograph of the Bullingdon Club cricket team of 1860, which also includes the Prince of Wales.The Zingari XI photograph shows 15 men, all identified in pen or pencil to lower mount. The Prince of Wales is seen seated in a wicker cane chair smoking a cigar. Other identified names include Lord Walsingham, Lord Royston, Major Gray, T. de Grey, Colonel Marshall, Mr Arkright, Mr Hope Grant and R.A. Fitzgerald. The Norfolk XI photograph shows 12 men, all identified in ink to lower mount. Names include E.R. Buxton, Mr Craigie, Mr Barwell, S.A. Gurney, S.G. Buxton, Mr Lubbock, Mr Dowell, Mr Wright and Mr Mott. The scores were I. Zingari, 277 (R.A. Fitzgerald 101) and the Gentleman of Norfolk, 119 and 60. The scorebook which records 'duck' for the Prince of Wales's innings hangs in the pavilion at Lord's along with a photograph of I. Zingari XI. The companion photograph of the Gentleman of Norfolk is in the collection of the Royal Collection Trust.As the Prince of Wales was known not to be adept at cricket it was hoped that Wright, the Norfolk Gentlemens' fast bowler, would favour the Prince with one or two balls to hit as everyone in the big crowd wanted to see the Prince make a few runs. To everyone's general annoyance Wright shattered the stumps second ball.
