Die Intensität der erdmagnetischen Kraft zurückgeführt auf absolutes Maas, (+ Schluss der Seite 273).

Leipzig, Johann Ambrosius Barth, 1833. Without wrappers. In "Annalen der Physik und Chemie. Hrsg.von Poggendorff", Bd. 28., 6. u. 8. Stück. (Entire issues offered) Pp. 244-448 a. pp. 530-646 a. 4 engraved plates.. Gauss' paper: pp.241-273 a. pp. 591-615. Clean and fine.

First German translation of Gauss' "Intensitas vis magneticae terrestris ad mensuram absolutam revocata", Gauss' first work on magnetism, issued the same year as this first German edition, and in which appeared the first systematic use of of absolute units, distance, mass, time to measure nonmechanical quantity (magnetism and electricity). - "It contains the first measurement of magnetic and electric quantities" (Magie, A Source Book in Physics, p. 519).

The volume contains other notable papers: , by Mitscherlich, Döbereiner, Dutrochet, Graham, Berzelius, Stromeyer, F. Wöhler, Heinrich u. Gustav Rose, Hansteen, Arago, Pelouze, Liebig etc. etc.
