Soft cover. Condición: Fine. MERTON, Thomas Ralph. (T.R.) 13 original offprints, 1911-1928. Works from Philosophical Magazine, Transactions of the Chemical Society, and Proceedings of the Royal Society. Nearly all are concerned with spectroscopy. Please send a note for full descriptions. The papers include the following bibliographical numbers from the Royal Society publishing website: 2, 3, 7, 13, 16, 28, 30, 32, 37, 38, 40 plus three not in the bibliography. All are in FINE condition. "Sir Thomas Ralph Merton KBE, DSc, FRS[1] (12 January 1888 10 October 1969) was an English physicist, inventor and art collector. He is particularly noted for his work on spectroscopy and diffraction gratings. After 1913 a steady stream of papers came from Merton's private laboratory, in which he assembled the latest spectroscopic equipment. His early work was on the absorption spectra of solutions, but he soon changed to the spectra of gases and to astrophysics, which were to be the main fields of his investigations. His early papers were distinguished by the beauty and accuracy of his experimental techniques. In 1916 he obtained his DSc from Oxford and was appointed lecturer in spectroscopy at King's College London. In the same year his first joint paper with his friend J. W. Nicholson appeared. It was a fortunate chance which brought together Nicholson's brilliant mathematical analysis and Merton's experimental skill. The paper dealt with the broadening of spectral lines in a condensed discharge. By an ingenious technique Merton measured the discontinuities in the lines due to their partial breaking up into components under the influence of the magnetic field between adjacent atoms. The two men applied the same technique to the measurement of the spectra of hydrogen and helium, reproducing the distribution of intensity of some stellar lines in the laboratory for the first time."--Wikipedia (via the Royal Society publishing site, though unattributed) T.R. Merton was also the FIRST "Q" of MI6.…

Frontis. & 33 plates. 78 pp. Large 4to, orig. crimson half-morocco & cloth, orig. printed dust jacket (a few inoffensive tears). London: Chiswick Press, 1950. The specially bound copy for the author of this privately printed catalogue. Merton (1888-1969), was a scientist specializing in spectroscopic research and was knighted in 1944 for his work during World War II. Merton's small but sophisticated collection focused on early pictures from between 1450 and 1520. The catalogue describes 32 paintings and drawings, amongst which are featured van der Weyden's Portrait of Guillaume de Fillastre (Courtauld Institute), Botticelli's Portrait of Giovanni di Pierfrancesco de' Medici (on loan at the National Gallery of Art, Washington), and works by other major artists of the period. A lengthy description accompanies each work, as well as dimensions, references, and notes on provenance. Very fine copy.…
