"The author had planned to reprint his Lecons de physique (1767) with some additions but found so many changes were necessary that a new work was needed. The present work, designed to accompany his Description et usage d'un cabinet de physique experimentale (1775), follows the arrangement of that work. Extensive notes, both mathematical and for applications to chemistry and natural history are found at the end of each volume. / Some of the topics of chemical interest are: vol. I principles of compound bodies and chemical affinities; III fixed air, the effects of air on the animal economy and, in the Supplement, a description and usage of new apparatus for experiments with gases; IV phlogiston and fire." â" Cole 1212. / "Although primarily on physics, this work contains much of purely chemical interest and importance: e.g., differences between physical mixtures and chemical compounds, affinity, Paracelsian tria prima, Becher's terra pinguis, Stahl's theory of phlogiston, atoms and molecules, crystallization, double decomposition of salts, sympathetic inks, chemical indicators, precipitation, sublimation, preparation of various gases and their collection over water or mercury, theories of calcination, acids and bases, and the nature of fire. There are many references to the researches of Boyle, Guericke, Hales, Boerhaave, Newton, Macquer, Priestley, Lavoisier, Guyton de Morveau, and others." â" Neville. / PROVENANCE: copy of Martin C. Gutzwiller (unmarked) (1925-2014), was a Swiss-American physicist, known for his work on field theory, quantum chaos, and complex systems.

Four volume set. xxxii, 635, [1 bl.] pp. with 7 fold-out plates; 565, [1 bl.] pp. with 10 fold-out plates; 576 pp. with 4 fold-out plates; 622 pp. with 4 fold-out plates. Hardcovers, bound in full speckled calf. The bindings rubbed with patches of similar leather. Text clean; small holes top margin of volume four. Sigaud was a French physicist who was, along with his master Abbé Nollet, one of the promoters of experimental physics. He is considered the inventor of the "physics cabinet" and discovered with Maquet (and before Lavoisier) that the combustion of hydrogen with atmospheric air produced water.

Two volumes. 8vo. 198x124 mm. [4], xvi, 396; [4], 474, [2] pp. Half-titles, title vignette, 53 folding engraved plates of laboratory apparatus, head and tail pieces. Contemporary mottled calf, spine gilt-stamped with calf gilt-stamped labels; occasional toning, scattered minor spotting. Very good. Second edition, revised and enlarged, by Urbain Francois Roulaud, professor of physics and demonstrator at the University of Paris, also the nephew of Sigaud de Lafond. This work on laboratory equipment and technique was originally issued in 1775. This new edition notably depicts two plates (volume I, plates IXbis and XIbis) illustrating a machine by George Atwood (1745-1807), FRS, a pump by Hesse and the hydraulic machine invented by Vera, whose purpose, clearly pedagogical, is to show experimentally and support Isaac Newton's laws of motion. / His numerous teaching experiments delved into many areas: electricity, chemistry, phosphorus, the recipe for toothpaste, medical uses, heat, distillation, precipitation, acoustics, air pressure, electricity, pumps, the inclined plane, the crane, centrifugal force, gravity, etc. / The plate XIII, for example, Tome 2: "in which a bird is placed under a bell jar and the air is evacuated with an air pump. This demonstrates the importance of air for breathing. The text describes how the bird first finds it difficult to breathe, then convulses, and finally perishes." [History of Science Museum, Oxford]. / Sigaud de la Fond, an obstetrician, studied under and succeeded the Abbe Nollet at the College Louis-le-Granc, taught courses of anatomy, physiology, and experimental physics. In 1795, he became a professor of physics and chemistry at the Ecole Centrale. REFERENCE: DSB, XII, p. 428.

2 volumes. 8vo. [2], iv, [2], ix-xxiv, 342; [4], 447, [7*] pp. [*final 7 pages misnumbered], collated and complete. 51 folding engraved plates, title vignettes. Original mottled calf, gilt-decorated spine, gilt leather spine labels, raised bands; rubbed. Very good. First edition. "Sigaud de Lafond was a French obstetrician and physicist and a devoted student of Jean-Antoine Nollet, who he succeeded as chair of experimental physics at the College Louis le Grand. "Sigaud was a prolific writer in the fields of experimental physics, chemistry, medicine, and (apparently as a consequence of his early Jesuit training) theology. Experimental science was a fashionable pursuit among the leisured classes in eighteenth-century France, and Sigaud was one of several illustrious popularizers who satisfied the intellectual appetites and curiosities of an ever increasing number of amateurs of science. Popular interest tended toward the more spectacular examples of natural phenomena; and lectures accompanied by demonstrations, especially on electricity and on the newly discovered gases, always attracted large and enthusiastic crowds. As a follower of the Abbe Nollet, Sigaud was apparently quite successful in appealing to this group of virtuosi, and most of his publications were written for the enlightened layman rather than the professional researcher. As a result, his work was generally not profound, creative, or original. He avoided theoretical explanations and instead emphasized phenomenological aspects. There is something, too, in his writing of the vulgar catering to the "gout des merveilles" - the popular fascination with the strange, the unusual, the bizarre." â" DSB XII, p. 427.

Paris, Gueffier, 1787. 4 volumes in-8, I. de (4), xxxij, 635, (1) pages et 7 planches dépliantes ; II. de (4), 336, 277-308, 369-544, 553-567, (1) et 10 planches dépliantes ; III. de (4), 576 et 4 planches dépliantes; IV. de (4), 228, 227-622 et 4 planches dépliantes ; basane marbrée de l'époque, dos à nerfs ornés, pièces de titre et de tomaison en maroquin vert; tranches rouges (petites épidermures et bords frottés, coins émoussés). Seconde édition, revue & augmentée par M. Rouland. L'auteur, physicien et enseignant, y développe davantage ses leçons de physique expérimentale, qu'il avait d'abord éditées en 1767 en deux volumes. «Le cours privé de Sigaud de Lafond (1730-1810), dont le cabinet de physique est le plus beau et le plus complet qui soit à Paris, est largement fréquenté. Ancien étudiant en médecine à Saint-Côme puis démonstrateur à Paris, au collège Louis-le-Grand, il occupe en 1760 la chaire d'anatomie, de physiologie et de physique expérimentale laissée par [son maître, l'abbé] Nollet. Son intérêt pour la qualité et le nombre des instruments nécessaires à un bon cabinet de physique l'amène à publier en 1775 un ouvrage qui fera date : Description et usage d'un cabinet de physique expérimentale, véritable référence pour l'installation d'un cabinet de physique jusqu'au début du XIXe siècle.» (Balpe Claudette. Constitution d'un enseignement expérimental : La physique et chimie dans les écoles centrales. In:Revue d'histoire des sciences, tome 52, n°2, 1999. pp. 241-284, p. 243.) Ces 4 volumes servent de «suite» à son ouvrage paru en 1775. Les planches décrivent précisément les instruments de physique, d'optique, de chimie et de météorologie en usage dans un cabinet de la fin du XVIIIème siècle. Bon exemplaire, bien complet de ses 25 planches d'instruments scientifiques.

Rouland, neveu de l'auteur et professeur de physique expérimentale, démonstrateur en l'Université de Paris. Ouvrage illustré de 53 jolies planches hors-texte, gravées en taille-douce. Elles représentent tout l'arsenal expérimental que l'auteur utilisait pour ses diverses démonstrations : instruments électriques, de chimie, de météorologie et de physique, dans le plus pur goût du XVIIIe siècle. Sigaud de Lafond (1730-1810), succéda à l'abbé Nollet à la chaire de physique expérimentale de Louis le Grand. Il y poursuivit avec autant de succès que son prédécesseur les démonstrations de physique.
