stamped) ; scarce, 8Js 6d 1855 



' a standard text-book on the subject.'— P7-o/l Mahan. 



This edition contains four additional articles in the Appendix, which include one ' On the Rolling of Ships ', containing 

 the formula by which the dynamical stability of all ships of war has since been calculated, and ' one of the most ex- 

 tensively useful results of Moseley's mathematical labours ' (D. N. B.). 



Another is the article on the observed motion of the lead on the roof of Bristol Cathedral under changes of 

 temperature, ' which caused him to advance the theory that the motion of glaciers might be similarly explained.'— D. N. B. 



•Moseley's chief merit is the introduction into English of the methods of the French elasticians, notably Poncelet's 

 conception of work. . . . The lx)ok contains a good deal Avhich might be useful even to the practical student of to-^ay, for 

 many of the problems considered are not to be found in the ordinary text-books.'— rod/ntn(er <€• Pearson's History of

Modena, 1846 

 This memoir contains important investigations on the distribution of electricity in the dielectric medium, which were 

 also made six years afterwards, but independently, by R. Clausius, to whom they are generally ascribed. The author's 

 name is not even mentioned in Hoppe's ' Geschichte der Elektrizitat.'

servir c\ la Determination de la Cause et des Lois de TACTION Mol^culaire, 4to. (pp. 34), sewn, 

 with inscr. {scarce), 8s 6d Turin, 1836 



An important memoir on molecular physics treated mathematically, which became of authority in the modern 

 analytical treatment of the theories of matter and space. ' • 



' Consideiant I'ether comme une masse continue, et les molecules comme des corps isoles, j'ai trouv6 que si ccs 

 demieres sont spheriques, elles s'environrient d'uue atmosphere dont la densite decroit suivantune ionction de la distance, 

 qui contient un facteur exponentiel.'— P. 9. 



12212 On the Variation in the Mean Motion of the Comet of Encke, produced by the 



Resistance of an Ether, translated by Dr. Olinthus Gregory, 4to. (pp. 8), seivn, is 1824 



Interesting as an early attempt (treated mathematically) at ascribing a frictional property to the ether— a subject 

 experimented on within recent years with negative results. 



Although one of the first to treat analytically such subjects as molecular physics and ether problems, the author 

 received unmerited neglect by his contemporaries, and is not even noticed in the Biographie Generale.
