8627 GREEN (George, Fellow of Caius Coll.) Mathematical Papers, edited by Norman Mac- 

 Leod Ferrers, pr., Master of Caius, original edition, 8vo. c/., uncut (very scarce) £1. 15s 



1871 



Including his important 'Essay "on the Application of Mathematical Analysis to the Theories of Electricity and 

 Magnetism,' as well as papers on the motion of waves in a canal, and on the reflexion and refraction of sound and 

 light. ' In the latter the geometrical laws of sound are deduced by the principle of energy from the undulatory theory, 

 the phenomenon of total reflexion is explained physically, and certain properties of the vibrating medium are deduced. 

 He also discusses the propagation of light iu any crystalline medium '.—W. W. R. Ball. 



8628 Essay on the Application of .Mathematical Analysis to the Theories of 



Electricity, and Magnetism, first edition, 4to. fresh copy in the original paper cover, uncut, 

 £2. 10s Nottingham, printed for the author, hy T. Wheelhouse, 1828 



Very scarce, only very few copies having been published by subscription. This important paper, which for the first 

 time stated, and powerfully developed, the dynamical significance of the potential, lay neglected and forgotten for 

 nearly 20 years, until Lord Kelvin called public attention to it. This circumstance probably contributed to its extreme 

 scarcity. 



' In tliis essay he first introduced the term ' potential ' to denote the result obtained by adding the masses of all the 

 particles of a system, each divided by its distance from a given point ; and the properties of this function are first 

 considered, and applied to the theories of magnetism and electricity.'— D. N. B.

 us with a True and Real Knowledge of Nature, with plate and diagrams, sm. 8vo. old calf gilt, 

 (joints cracked); rare, 10s Qd Cambridge, 1712 



' Greene, while taking an active part in college and parochial work, was convinced that the whole field of knowledge 

 was his proper province. In his preface to the 'Principles,' after being at some pains to prove himself a Whig, he 

 declared his intention of proposing a philosophy, English, Cantabrigian, and Clarensian, which he ventured to call 

 the ' Greenian ', because his name was not much worse in the letters which composed it, than those of Galileo and 

 Descartes. The book is a monument of ill-digested and misapplied learning.'— Z). N. B. 



At end is ' Geometria Solidorum, sive Materiae, seu de Varia Compositione, Progressione, Rationeque Velocitatum.'
