About this Item
Inscribed and signed on the copyright page as follows: "To / Mr C.L Brooks, / one who thinks, / with my compliments / Chet." Rare. Concentrated, complete pseudoscientific nonsense. "From simpler illustrations of how the white space-lattice of carbon and hydrogen ion in litmus paper is expanded to reflect isochronous, or incandescent, waves of light into a red phase of length and frequency by the large hydrogen ions in acid; or contracted to reflect violet with the odd oxygen ion of 1/8 the size in the HO2 radical base; or how the large hydrogen ions produce swelling when an insect's stinger injects the acid into our flesh; in formulae, we proceed to actual 'ATOMIC BOMBS BY EXPLOSIVE FORMULAE.'" And, another publication by the same author, to be "available soon": "The Eclaircissement, explaining what light, electricity, magnetism, surface-tension, capillarity, gravitation, etc., are and their causes, with Table of Errors in Space, Density, Time and Arc." Light blue cloth-covered boards, gilt front board lettering, 9 1/4 x 6 1/4 inches, 119 pp. + 13 pp. + 15 pp., pull-out charts. Modest edgewear, with some erosion of cloth at spine ends; mild staining/soiling, covers; pages clean and binding tight/square. Rare (one OCLC library holding). (3214003).
