BIBLIOTHEQUE BRITTANIQUE (1776-1806) including Thomson's historic etching
A large set of original volumes of Marc-Auguste Pictet's scientific journal, Bibliotheque Brittanique. Pictet's journal played an important role in the foundation of meteoritics, allowing crucial information regarding the fall of stones, along with among many other scientific topics, to cross channels throughout Europe. Examples include early reports Siena, King's abstract on his book about Siena and Wold Cottage, Chladni on the Pallas iron (Krasnojarsk), Biot's letter on l'Aigle to Pictet, reports on Alais, and many more. Perhaps most notably is Thomson's historic etching of a meteorite, which predates von Widmanstatten's discovery by four years. Further reading on Thomson's historic discovery can be found by clicking >>HERE<<
This beautiful set contains a total of 30 volumes spanning the years 1776-1806. Three volumes are missing, though the missing volumes do not contain any meteorite-related reports. For further information regarding this set, please contact me.
