Electricity, Fluids, Hydrodynamics, Mathematical physics, Meteorology, Oceanography, Tides -- Research, Wave-motion, Theory of, Bibliographies, Laboratory notes, and Physicists

Notebooks and notes, reprints, correspondence, bibliographies. The bulk of the collection consists of notebooks and notes on the work of M. Brillouin and his colleagues on meteorology, global wave theory, and electricity. The reprints are by M. Brillouin (1892-1938) on subjects including meteorology, mathematical physics, wave theory, and hydrodynamics; the reprints by colleagues (1879-1944) are on hydrodynamics, oceanography, and tidal research. The correspondence (1887-1939) is both professional and personal, many centered on his research on tides and physics of the earth. There are several letters from his son, Léon Brillouin, concerning both physics and family matters. One file contains correspondence between Brillouin and H. A. Lorentz from 1911 regarding Marie Curie and Paul Langevin. The bibliographies include an annotated bibliography of M. Brillouin's published works, as well as a checklist of his public speeches. Correspondents include: Alfred Basset, Léon Brillouin, Lord William Thomson Kelvin, Augustus E. H. Love, Max Planck, Arnold Sommerfeld, and Rolin Wavre.

Notebooks, correspondence, and manuscripts. Notes and notebooks (1836-1847) selected, edited, and transcribed by his daughter, Mary Henry, contain extracts from research notes and lectures and a draft of her biographical introduction. Correspondence touches on various aspects of his career including his positions as professor of natural philosophy at Princeton University and as secretary at the Smithsonian Institution, as well as his work as an inventor. The major correspondent is A.D. Bache. Manuscripts include essays, drafts, and lectures. Much of the collection relates to his teaching. Subjects include electricity; electromagnetism; mechanical philosophy; astronomical, magnetic, and meteorological observations; the scale of chemical equivalents; apparatus; publications; the telegraph; metaphysics; and his advice to students. Correspondents include Alexander D. Bache, Lewis Beck, Edward H. Courtney, Lewis R. Gibbes, John Maclean, and John Millington.

This collection includes letters, with some transcripts and photostats, between Vaughan and American and British correspondents. There are also lectures, mostly in shorthand (3 v.); notes on the peace negotiations, 1782-1783; miscellaneous legal papers; and genealogy of the Abbott-Vaughan families.

Electricity, Geology, Meteorology, Religion and science, Science, Geologists, Meteorologists, and Paleontologists

Correspondence, lecture notes, and scientific writings of DeLuc and of his nephew, Jean André DeLuc (1763-1847), relating to his experiments in electricity, to lectures given in Geneva by the younger DeLuc, and to outstanding scientists of the period. Also notebooks of several geological expeditions in England, Wales, Belgium, Holland, Westphalia, and the Jura mountains (1778-1806). Correspondents of the elder DeLuc include Sir Joseph Banks, Varenne de Boest, Queen Charlotte and other members of the English royal household, William Hales, Abbé Haüy, Sir William Herschel, James Hutton, Joseph Lalande, de la Métherie, Georges Louis Le Sage, Pilâtre de Rozier, and James Watt.
