Particularly in his study of the crystalline medium, he linked his findings to Pasteur's experimental work on the dissymmetry of crystals. These studies, which were conducted from a mathematical point of view, led to the simplification of methods for integral calculus and the advance of the theories of elliptic and Abelian functions. To honour him for this work, the Göttingen Academy named him acorresponding member" (DSB).

Original printed wrappers (upper wrapper and title detached, light stain to upper wrapper, some fraying and creasing to backstrip, corners a little eroded). Provenance: later stamps on title and occasionally internally. FIRST EDITION OF JOULE'S HIGHLY IMPORTANT PAPER. "Joule began work about 1845 on a fourth method for determining the mechanical value of heat. His latest efforts received a polite but unremarkable reception at the Cambridge meeting of the British Association. This time the experiments involved a paddle wheel placed in a can filled with water. Weights attached over pulleys working in opposite directions communicated motion to the paddle wheel. Joule argued that 'the force spent in revolving the paddle wheel produced a certain increment in the temperature of the water'..." (DNB). In honour of the scientist, the name "joule" was given to the derived unit of energy equal to the energy transferred to an object when a force of one newton acts on that object in the direction of the force's motion through a distance of one metre.
