Walsham's entry in Munk's Roll describes him as 'a pioneer of radiology of the chest, and his book, written in collaboration with Harrison Orton, 'Roentgen Rays in the Diagnosis of the Diseases of the Chest' (1906), was the first to deal with the subject in English. 3pp., 12mo. Bifolium. In fair condition, lightly aged. Difficult to decipher, possibly because Walsham 'paid dearly for his work in the loss of several fingers'. Addressed to 'Dear Madam', and explaining that Walsham and a named colleague whom the named patient had consulted are 'strongly of the opinion that perfect rest for the eye is absolutely essential for the remainder of the week'. The patient is 'exceedingly anxious' to perform a named part in a play, and this should be possible, 'as she feels confident that she will be able to the part satisfactorily in that time. Mrs. K is forbidden to write or read.'.…

(London, 1910). No wrappers. In: "The London, Edinburgh, and Dublin Philosophical Magazine and Journal of Science", (Sixth Series), September 1910. Pp. 385-544 a. 6 folded plates. (Entire Sept.-issue offered). Bragg's paper: pp. 385-416. First printing of the paper in which Bragg discloses the corpuscular nature of Gamma- and X-Rays."Considering gamma and X rays to be of the same nature, he declared the evidence in favor of the ether pulse theory to be "overrated," and emphasized that theory was unable to account for the large quantity of energy and momentum that remained in the ray regardless of the distance from its source, and that could all be delivered to a single electron. During the following five years Bragg backed off somewhat from this concrete model of the gamma ray, emphasizing its "corpuscular" rather than its "material" nature. but did not abandon the general concept of an electron-with-its-charge-neutralized until after the discovery of X-ray diffraction in 1912. Thus, initially without being aware of the views of Einstein and Stark, Bragg became the first, and remained the foremost, English-language advocate of a view of X rays that stressed their "quantal" properties.

London, 1914. Without wrappers, but stitched. In "Philosophical Magazine and Journalof Science", Vol. 27, No. 161. May 1914. Pp. 757-916 a. 6 plates.(= the whole issue No 161). Rutherford's paper: pp. 854-860 a. 1 plate. First edition, finally establishing the nature of Röntgen's X-Rays.In 1900 "Villardhad discovered gamma gamma-rays. He noted at once that these rays are not deflected by magnetic fields. Two years later Rutherford suggested that gamma-rays might be very hard form of beta-rays. This view became less and less tenable.(and) slowly the evidence grew that gamma-rays and X-rays were akin, but a lately as 1912 Rutherford still wrote with a touch of caution: "There is at present nodefinite evidence to belive that X-rays and gamma-rays are funamentally different kindsof radiation". he matter was finally settled fourteent years after the first observatiob of gamma-radioactivity, when Rutherford and Andrade observed reflexion of gamma-rays from crystal force (in the paper offered here)."

(Leipzig, Ambrosius Barth, 1913). Without wrappers in "Annalen der Physik", Vierte Folge, Bd. 41, No.10. The entire issues offered. Pp. 873-1064 a. 6 plates. Laue's papers: pp. 971-988, pp. 989-1002 a. pp. 1003-1011. With the 5 famous plates in collotype (reproductions of the photographic plates), showing the X-Ray diffraction spectrum of different salt and substances (The "Laue diagram"). These papers represents the first full exposition of Laue's and his co-worker's discovery of the nature of X-Rays. The first two papers were printed the year before in "Münchener Sitzungsberichte", but finds their final form here and with the experimental confirmation by Laue and Tank. He showed that the regular spacing of the atoms in a crystal can serve as a grating of the desired precision, and he measures the wave-lenght of the X-rays.That crystals might be the appropriate grating for the X-rays proved to be well founded when Knipping, Friedrich and Tank found experimental confirmation of the theory."It was in 1895 that Röntgen discovered a new form of radiation, to which, as its nature was so uncertain, he gave the name of the X-ray.It was not until 1912, when von Laue showed it could be diffracted like ordinary light, that it was recognized with certainty as an ether wave of extremely short wave-lenght.Laue used a crystal for his diffraction grating.The X-ray is therefore identical with with light in respect to its nature, but differs greatly in quality: a state of things which is very favourable to an extension of our general knowledge of such radiations."(William Bragg in "The Universe of Light", pp. 228 ff.)."It was the work of Laue and the experiments done by Friedrich and Knipping on his suggestion that cleared up the nature of X rays once and for all and that, moreover, beautifully demonstrated that crystals are composed of atoms arranged in a regular lattice.As in the case of Röntgen's original discovery, the photographs were extremely convincing. Other researchers immediately were attracted by the new field of X-ray spectroscopy and the discoveries by the Braggs and Mosely soon followed."(Siegmund Brandt "The harvest of a Century", Episode 20, p. 80 ff.)."The awarding of the Nobel Prize in physics for 1914 to Laue indicated the significance of the discovery that Albert Einstein called "ONE OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL IN PHYSICS". Subsequently it was possible to investigate X radiation itself by means of wavelenght determinations as well as to study the structure of the irradiated material. In the truest sense of the word scientists began to cast light on the structure of matter."(DSB VIII, p. 51).PMM: 406 (the first 2 papers in Münchener Sitzungsberichte).The offered issue of "Annalen" contains also an importent paper by P. DEBYE & A. SOMMERFELD: "Theorie des lichtelektrischen Effektes vom Standpunkt des Wirkungsquantums", pp. 873-930. …
