CLAUSIUS, Rudolf. Ueber die Bestimmung der Energie und Entropie eines Körpers," in Zeitschrift für Mathematik und Physik," Leipzig, B.G. Teubner, 1866, volume 11, iv,550 & 86pp, with the Clausius on pp. 31-46. [The paper is dated Zurich, 24 July 1865.] Cloth-backed marbled boards, cloth-tipped corners. Provenance: Lehrer-Bibliotkek zu Aachen, with their two stamps on title page and the ghost of a spine label at spine bottom. Very nice copy, fresh and crisp. VG [++] Clauius' seminal paper "Ueber die Bestimmung der Energie und Entropie eines Körpers," (published in the Annalen 79 (1850), 368 397, 500 524) marks the foundation of the modern thermodynamics, with Gibbs later stating: ".in the memoir of Clausius . the science of thermodynamics came into existence." Well, this was a Gibbs' statement but it could have been that of nearly any other physics luminary. As a matter of fact Clausius seems to have been resentful of not getting his just recognition though it seems to that he never received anything less than that (except maybe with Tait)--for example he was in some ways resentful of Maxwell's 1872 publication on the theory of heat, thinking that the Brits were trying to take more credit for their work than it was due, and that it was to Clausius himself that almost all credit should be given Maxwell did not disagree, recognizing Clausius' foundational role a number of times over the years! [++] "[The 1850 paper] ".as only the beginning of Clausius' long involvement in the study of the second law. In the following fifteen years he was to publish eight more memoirs in which he tried to put the second law into a simpler, more general and mathematical form" --(Y S Kim, "Clausius's endeavor to generalize the second law of thermodynamics, 1850-1865," Arch. Internat. Hist. Sci. 33 (111), 1983, 256-273) with the 1866 paper offered here being the last and probably the most analytical development of entropy (so-named in the 1850 paper), continuing work of his from the previous year in this same journal. [++] (As a sidebar Clauisus' London edition of 1867 of the Mechanical Theory of Heat (404pp)--which was the translation of "Die mechanische Warmetheorie" of 1865-7, and which is a compilation of his original papers in thermodynamics, kinetic theory, and electricity--does not reference the Zeitschrift paper of 1866, though it doe, for example, ref a number of obscure papers that appeared in the Comptes Rendus.Perhaps the 1866 paper appeared too late in the publishing history of the book?)
