Description
London: Richard and John E. Taylor. 1st Edition. Hardcover. Fine. FIRST EDITION of the derivation of Joule's Law, one of the fundamental laws of electricity. Joule, "in the paper now under consideration, was the first to announce the definite law that 'when a current of voltaic electricity is propagated along a metallic conductor, the heat evolved in a given time is proportional to the resistance of the conductor multiplied by the square of the electric intensity,' i.e. electric current. In the same paper he showed that the law applies, when proper allowance is made for certain disturbances, to heat produced in electrolytes. The paper also contained the first reference to a 'standard of resistance;' this consisted of a coil of ten feet of copper wire .024 inch in thickness. "These experiments contained the germs of Joule's second great discovery, the equivalence of heat and energy, which he fully developed later. But he had already made it clear that the energy set free in the battery is also proportional to the resistance of the circuit and to the square of the current" (Dictionary of National Biography). NOTE: Joule had originally announced his experimental results in a speech before the Royal Society on December, 17,1840, but the Royal Society did not deem the paper worthy to be printed in their respected Philosophical Transactions; an abstract, instead, was printed in their Proceedings of the Royal Society. In: The London, Edinburgh, and Dublin Philosophical Magazine and Journal of Science, vol. XIX, no.124, pp.260-277. London: Richard and John E. Taylor, 1841. Octavo, contemporary three-quarter calf, marbled boards. Occasional light foxing, some rubbing to boards. A handsome copy in contemporary binding.

Description
Reggio Emilia: by the author, 5582 [i.e., 1822]. First edition. Very Good. Two titles bound together. 12mo (16cm); xii, 108 pages; [16] leaves. Text in Hebrew. Apparently bound together in 1822 in original publisher's blue printed wraps, perhaps with remaindered copies of the second title, which was published at Livorno in 1792. Wraps stained, portions of spine perished. Text clean. Preserved in custom clamshell case. Busi, #28; Cf. Salah, "La République des lettres," #243. From modest origins, Anania Coen emerged as a principle Jewish intellectual who established a Hebrew school and a Hebrew press in his native Reggio Emilia. Later he became the rabbi of the Jewish community of Florence and established one of the first Hebrew printing presses there. His mature work is devoted primarily to issues of language, style, and rhetoric (as opposed to the vast body of Hebrew publishing devoted to religious and Talmudic arguments). He was extremely interested in developing a model for spoken Hebrew that would be based in the scriptural language but include neologisms, anticipating the spoken Hebrew of the Zionist movement. As a lexicographer, he wrote a Hebrew-Italian dictionary (Ma'aneh ha-lashon, 1811-12), and a lexicon of Talmudic Hebrew with definitions in Hebrew and Italian (Sefer Safah ahat, 1822). In addition to his Hebrew publications, Coen published several translations into Italian of British rationalists such as Pope and Hume, and some of the Romantic novels of Walter Scott! In 1822, Coen published this essay on language and prosody. According to Giulio Busi's monograph on Coen, Ruah Hadasha "is perhaps the most significant document of Jewish poetic theory in Italy during the 18th and 19th centuries, ... offering a clear and original treatment of the intricate matter of Hebrew versification." Busi continues, "In effect, Ruah Hadasha is the synthesis of the long literary process that detached Italian Judaism from Medieval Judeo-Arabic models" (Anania Coen: editore e letterato ebreo tra sette e ottocento, Bologna, 1992, p. 27-28). The citations in the text include examples of modern Hebrew poetry (by Yeshua Hai Carmi, among others) alongside biblical and Talmudic selections.
