Dalton, John A New System of Chemical Philosophy. Manchester: Printed by S. Russell for R. Bickerstaff, 1808-10; and George Wilson, 1827. 8vo (3 vols). I Part I in paper-backed marbled boards with paper label, other two in later buckram-backed boards; pp: I Part I: vi, [2 (contents, verso blank)], 220; I Part II: [8], 221-560; II: [2 (half-title, verso blank)], xii, 357, [3 (advertisements)];; I Part I: add. eng. port. laid down on dedication, four plates, I Part II: four plates. First edition. Dalton's major contribution to the study of science was an insistence on the significance of relative atomic weights. Dalton believed that all matter was composed of indestructible and indivisible atoms of various weights, each weight corresponding to one of the chemical elements, and that these atoms remained unchanged during chemical processes. This led to his creation of the first periodic table and created the first scientific theory of the atom, based on experimentation. Dalton's work was not without flaws, in part owing to the quality of this tools, but it shaped scientific thinking and laid the groundwork for Mendelev's table.. Condition variable across the three volumes, with the second and third with frequent mould spotting throughout, still a good set of a hugely important work.
Stoeffler, Johannes Elucidatio Fabricae ususque Astrolabii. Lutetiae: Guillaume Cavellat, 1553. 8vo, full calf, sometime rebacked, blind panelling to lower board enclosing crowned CR monogram with small skull all crossed out; leaves: [8], 48, 57-172 (lacking 49-56 and final un-numbered leaf); 1 folding letterpress table (of 3), numerous illus to text, letterpress tables. A highly significant text in early astronomy, Stoeffler's book studied the manufacture and use of the astrolabe through a series of worked examples. His style of presentation was influential, with many of the following 16th century books on mathematical instruments using a similar style. This monogram and skull suggests the binding was executed in memorial of Charles I, as similar bindings can be seen in the UL's special collection (e.g. CCE.8.20).. w.a.f.
