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
New York: Beadle and Adams, 1873 First edition. Publisher's orange wrappers printed in black with batting illustration to front wrapper, Peck & Snyder advertisement to rear wrapper, hand-colored ads to interior. Very good or better book with light wear to spine, bookseller's stamp to last page. Overall, an excellent copy. Scarcely found in original wrappers and in collectible condition. Beadle's Dime Base-Ball Player is recognized as the earliest published baseball guide. Published annually between 1860 and 1881, the guide provided the public with recaps of previous seasons, rules, and basic game instructions. The guides were edited by Henry Chadwick, the "Father of Baseball," who made substantial and enduring innovations to baseball box scores and statistics. The guide was no longer published when Chadwick took a job as editor for A. G. Spalding's Official Base Ball Guide.. First Edition. Original Wraps. Very Good.
