Sir John Frederick William HERSCHEL. 1792-1871 Minuta della prima stesura del saggio “On the Origin of Force”.1865 "and the first and greatest question which Philosophy has to resolve, in its attempt to make out a Kosmos... is whether we can derive any light from our internal consciousness of thought, reason, power". In 8vo oblungo, mm. 143x220; un foglio scritto solo sul recto in inchiostro nero. Testo in inglese in grafia minuta, con alcune correzioni e cancellature. Bell’esemplare. In questo celebre saggio, pubblicato su The Fortnightly Review, il celebre astronomo espone l'origine della sua teoria, il cui ruolo è centrale, deve basarsi su ipotesi e che deve essere sottoposta a rigorosi controlli ed esperimenti volti a negarne la validità. Questo manoscritto relativo alla parte finale del saggio è sicuramente il primo numero, con importanti differenze rispetto al testo a stampa pubblicato nel 1865 nel primo volume della rivista, alle pagine 435-442. Le frasi finali sono: “Constituted as the human mind is, if nature be not interpretable through these conceptions, it is not interpretable at all j and the only reason we can have for troubling ourselves about it is either the utilitarian one of bettering our condition by " subduing nature " to our use through a more complete understanding of its " laws," so as to throw ourselves into its grooves, and thereby reach our ends more readily and effectually”.

JULIA MARGARET CAMERON'S CELEBRATED PORTRAIT OF HERSCHEL. Herschel's discovery that hyposulphite of soda dissolves silver salts was a major step in the prehistory of photography. It was during his residence in southern Africa, 1833-38, that he most closely studied photography, introducing a number of key terms to the vocabulary, including 'positive', 'negative', 'snap-shot' and 'photographer'. Herschel and Julia Margaret Cameron met at the Cape in 1835, and he was to be something of a mentor to her career as a photographer (which began almost 30 years later). Cameron's patent for the present, the best known of her series of portraits of Herschel, was granted on 9 April 1867.

Pages. i-xxii. 4o. Lacking pages. 29-33 that do not concern Babbage's articles. Modern cloth. FIRST EDITION. Babbage, Herschel, George Peacock, and several other mathematically minded students at Cambridge University founded the Analytical Society, dedicated to the reform of mathematics in Britain, in 1812. This is the only volume of its Memoirs. It is also Babbage's first publication. Mathematics at British universities-and by extension the entire country-had become stagnant over the previous century, due to the universities' partisan adherence to Newton's dot-notation and method of fluxions over the more powerful Leibnitzian differential methods and d-notation used in Europe. The first objective of the Society was to promote the continental method as embodied in Lacroix's Sur le calcul diffiérentiel et intiégrale (1802), which Babbage deemed "so perfect that any comment was unnecessary" (Babbage 1864, 28). In 1813 the Society published its single volume of Memoirs, written entirely by Babbage and Herschel; in deciding upon a title for the work, Babbage punningly suggested that it should be called "The Principle of pure D-ism in opposition to the Dot-age of the University" (Babbage 1864, 29).
