First published in 1883, Joseph John Thomson's fascinating treatise explores the subject of 'vortex rings'. A vortex ring, also known as 'a toroidal vortex', is a torus-shaped vortex existing within a fluid or gas where the fluid spins along an imaginary axis line that creates a closed loop. Sir Joseph John Thomson (1856 - 1940) was an English physicist and Nobel Laureate in Physics. He is most famous for having discovered and identified the electron, and discovering the first subatomic particle. He also proved that cathode rays were composed of electrons. In 1906, Thomson was awarded the Nobel Prize in Physics for his contributions to the study of the conduction of electricity in gases. Contents include: "Momentum Of A System Of Circular Vortex Rings", "Moment Of Momentum Of The System", "Kinetic Energy Of The System", "Expression For The Kinetic Energy Of A Number Of Circular Vortex", "Rings Moving Inside A Closed Vessel", "Theory Of The Single Vortex Ring", "Expression For The Velocity Parallel To The Axis", "Due To An Approximately", "Circular Vortex Ring", etc. Many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive.

Originally published in 1899, this work details the buildings to be found on the banks of the River Thames during the 19th century. The following passage is an extract from its preface: 'THE present volume dealing with the old buildings along the River banks, and a few of the more remarkable houses of the past in the Surrey and Kentish suburbs, completes this series of volumes of Reliques of Old London. Yet the whole collection of ninety-six drawings forms but a small proportion of the subjects available for study by lovers of the past, for in the choice of sul^e6ts, I have been entirely guided by my own feelings as to the picturesqueness of the buildings and their surroundings, and have passed over many places which are of more importance from an historical point of view; so that this little gathering makes no claim to any sort of completeness as a record of the old buildings standing in London at this century's end.'The River Thames takes its name from the Middle English Temese, which is derived from the Celtic name for river. Originating at the Thames Head in Gloucestershire, it is the longest river in England, flowing a total length of 236 miles, out through the Thames Estuary and in to the North Sea. On its journey to open water it passes through the country's capital, London, where it is deep enough to be navigable for ships, thus allowing the city to become a major international trade port.

Originally published in 1849, this work contains a wealth of information on the life and exploits of one of Britain's most famous military leaders, Admiral Horatio Nelson. The following passage is taken from the preface to Volume I. of the publication:'The various Biographies of Lord Nelson by Clarke and McArthur, Charnock, White, Churchill, Harrison, and at a later period, Southey, may reasonably be presumed to have exhausted the materials relating to the history of Eng- land's most highly esteemed, brave, and patriotic Admiral ; but the recent voluminous publication of his Dispatches and Letters, under the editorial care of the late Sir Nicholas Harris Nicolas, added to the discovery of his Private Correspondence, extending from 1 798 to the day of his death, now in my possession, will be found to throw new light upon many of the transactions in which he was engaged ; and also, to afford illustrations of his mind and character, which nothing but his private and unrestrained correspondence could possibly afford. There is a delicacy, however, necessary to be preserved under such circumstances, with regard to the individuals concerned, and this delicacy would have been most especially demanded in the case of Lord Nelson in relation to Lady Hamilton, had he not himself made the matter a subject of history by naming her and his child Horatia in a Codicil to his Will on the day of his death, and leaving them as a testamentary bequest to his country.'
