On the Induction of Electric Currents in an Infinite Plane Sheet of Uniform conductivity.

(London, Taylor and Francis, 1872). 8vo. In the original printed wrappers. In "Proceedings of the Royal Society", Vol. XX [20], No. 132. Entire issue offered. Wrappers with light soiling and minor chipping with some loss to extremities, not affecting text. Fine and clean. Pp. 160-17. [Entire volume: 135-197]. First printing of Maxwell's paper in which he seeks to: "determine the currents which are induced in an infinite plate of uniform conductivity and infinitethickness, and in a sphere or spherical shell of any thickness when in the presence of a varying magnetic system: and in any of these bodies When rotating near a constant magnetic system, round an axis which is normal to the faces of the plate or passes through the centre" (From the introduction to the present paper".
