Röntgen (Wilhelm Conrad) Ueber eine neue Art von Strahlen, 2 parts, rare offprints of both parts, offprints from the Sitzungsberichten der Wurzburger Physik-medic. Gesellschaft, in original yellow and orange printed wrappers, preserved in modern cloth chemise with small leather book-label of Haven O'More, morocco slip-case, [PMM 380; Garrison Morton 2683; Norman 1841-42], 8vo, Wurzburg, 1895 & 1896. ⁂ First editions of two of the most influential and far-reaching medico-scientific papers ever published. Extremely rare to find both papers together and in such good original condition. "Their importance in surgery, medicine and metallurgy is well known. Incomparably the most important aspect of Roentgen's experiments, however, is his discovery of matter in a new form, which has completely revolutionized the study of chemistry and physics. Laue and Braggs have used the X-rays to show us the atomic structure of crystals. Moseley has reconstructed the periodic table of elements. Becquerel was directly inspired by Roentgen's results to the investigation that discovered radio-activity. Finally J.J. Thomson enunciated the electron theory as a result of investigating the nature of X-rays." (PMM). He was awarded the first Nobel Prize in Physics in 1901.
