Title: Department of Theoretical Chemistry University of Cambridge. Reprints Volume VI 1949 - 1952 Structure of Molecules
Author: Lennard-Jones, Sir John E - QUANTUM CHEMISTRY - PRESENTATION
Seller: Palinurus Antiquarian Books (United States)
Condition: Very good; infrequent misc. pencil notations.
Description: Various journals. Original stamped, cloth binding.. Very good; infrequent misc. pencil notations.. Royal 8vo, [6 - recto only, typescript pages of a title and 4 pages of contents] followed by 19 offprints (retaining the original journal pagination) and bearing the printed acknowledgement before each drop title: Reprinted without change of pagination from the Proceedings .... All bound between card stock printed as numerically sequenced tabbed dividers along with 2 additional inserted offprints. The volume bearing the autograph presentation of Lennard-Jones on the front endpaper: "With compliments & kind regards / J E Lennard-Jones / April, 1953". The presentation beneath the ownership signature of Robert S Mulliken - Nobel laureate in Chemistry in 1966 for work similar to that of Lennard-Jones. Molecular orbitals and chemical bonding are the primary topics of these Jones papers co-authored with his graduate assistants. There are 11 sequential papers entitled: Molecular Orbital Theory and Valency issued between 1949-1952 in the Proceedings of the Royal Society. Added to these, the remaining papers - from varied journals - are all related to chemical bonding, electronic structure and spatial relations of electrons in atoms and molecules. A superb association of some of the most original work - apart from Pauling - of these two Nobel laureates. It would be difficult to find a more apposite group of research papers for Mulliken and Lennard-Jones. Several papers in the volume are co-authored with John Pople (a student of Lennard-Jones in this period and future Nobel laureate in Chemistry in 1998), A C Hurley (who studied under Dirac at Cambridge and then with Lennard-Jones), and G G Hall (the latter were mathematicians - there is no Nobel Prize offered in the field of mathematics). Each had a profound impact on the field of "quantum chemistry" in its nascent days. A unique volume (?) - there is no copy at Cambridge or in the Lennard-Jones papers and nothing recorded in OCLC; DSB, VIII, 185-187 for Lennard-Jones.

Description: 80 pp. 8vo (216 x 135 mm.), early 20th-cent. cloth-backed marbled boards & orig. printed wrappers mounted on stubs, gilt title on spine. Paris: Bonnefons Delavialle, Ch. Paillet; London: Treuttel & Wurtz, Jarman; Amsterdam: Dufour & De la Chaux; Brussels: Danot; Berlin: Logier & Simon Schropp; Vienna: Schabacher, [1826]. A fascinating and rare auction catalogue of an extensive and influential collection of Asian artifacts belonging to a “F. Sallé,” with many contemporary pencil annotations in the margins. We have been unable to ascertain his first name, but Sallé appears in numerous early 19th-century Parisian auction catalogues as the commissaire-priseur. This was the greatest collection of Chinese materials after that of the renowned sinophile Henri Léonard Jean Baptiste Bertin (1720-92), powerful ministre d’Etat under Louis XV and XVI. Most of Bertin’s collection was dispersed in 1792 without a catalogue; in 1815, a catalogued auction (Lugt 8637) was held to sell off the final portion of the collection. Sallé’s is an important catalogue not just for its contents but also its Introduction, which closely details the formation of Sallé’s collection through auctions — Potoscka, Titzeng, Tersan, Vata, Madame Maqueron, captain Thierry, etc. — and private sales in France, Germany, the Netherlands, and Russia. The auctioneer notes that Sallé’s collection is four times larger than Bertin’s was at its peak. A second, lesser sale from his collection occurred the next year (Lugt 11359). This catalogue presents 795 lots, including lacquerware, perfume, books, scrolls, ink, paper, paintings, silk, porcelain, enamel, weapons, fireworks, musical instruments, coins, Japanese copper, ceramics, gold and silver, minerals, etc., etc. The linguist and explorer Julius Klaproth (1783-1835) assisted in the translation of inscriptions found on many pieces of the collection. In the Introduction, two items are highlighted: the first, a lacquer cabinet gifted by Marie Antoinette to Anne Vallayer-Coster; the second, two Chinese ivory reliefs once in Paris’s museum of natural history. A table of contents is found on pages 77-78. A very good copy, with some foxing to the final leaves. With the schedule of sale at the end. Ownership inscription of Marcel Nicolle (1871-1934), curator at the Louvre and critic, on the upper wrapper, and stamp of the Bibliothèque Heim on verso of title. ❧ Lugt 11133.
