Features ISBN # : 1110000017568 Written by: William Gilbert and P. Fleury Mottelay Published by: John Wiley & Sons Location: New York Copyright: 1893 Edition Number: First Edition in Eng Edition Description: Presentation Copy Signed by Mottelay Cover: Hardcover Written in: English New York, John Wiley & Sons., 1893, 1st American Ed. (Pub. same year in Britain by Bernard Quaritch). 8vo, port. liv 368p., white cloth with gilt spine lettering & ornamentation. The first translation into English of the major work of he who some call the "Father of electricity and magnetism". This copy very warmly inscribed to Joseph Wetzler (himself the author of a book on electric motors) who Mottelay specifically names in the translator's preface as one who encouraged him to do the translation. While not as rare as the Latin original, a particularly nice copy of this much more approachable version of this scientific landmark. Covers show considerable generalized wear & soiling, particularly at extremities. Spine somewhat browned & title difficult to read. Internally, front hinge cracked o/w alltogether clean and unmarked. A very good copy. Back To Top
