In 1835 Harris received the Copley Medal from the Royal Society for his papers on the laws of electricity of high tension. "The two great authorities on electrical distribution and its consequences are Coulomb and Sir William Harris. . . on repeating the experiments, [Harris] found Coulomb's results only…

Beginning in the 1880s, Crookes occupied himself with the examination of the phosphorescent spectra produced by bombarding minerals with radiant matter, an effort which led him to speculate on the origin of the elements. Most substances gave continuous phosphorescent spectra, but the beautiful discontinuous spectra produced by rare earth minerals led him to suspect in 1881 that these ores contained many unknown elements. Crookes found that yttria could be separated by fractionation into five or more parts that were differentiated only by their slightly different…

Original plain blue wrappers; spine heavily chipped. Very good. This is Davy's third Bakerian Lecture read to the Royal Society 15 December 1808 and printed in the Philosophical Transactions. The paper contains his report of the decomposition of boracic acid by heating with potassium and his conclusion that the basis of the acid is a metal which he named boracium. His other experiments led to his conclusions that a) nitrogen contains oxygen, b) sulphur and phosphorus contain small amounts of hydrogen and oxygen and c) plumbago, charcoal and the diamond differ in physical properties because of the differences in chemical composition and not because of the arrangement of parts. The plate depicts Davy's apparatus. Davy's work in the years 1806-1812 "did more for chemistry than the 60 [years] which followed them." Mottelay,…
