” Rev W.H. Bule with the Authors Regards.”
"Samuel Earnshaw, M.A.
(1 February 1805, Sheffield, Yorkshire – 6 December 1888, Sheffield, Yorkshire) was an English clergyman and
mathematician and physicist, noted for his contributions to theoretical physics, especially "Earnshaw's theorem".
Earnshaw was born in Sheffield and entered St John's College, Cambridge, graduating Senior Wrangler and Smith's Prizeman in 1831. From 1831 to 1847 Earnshaw worked in Cambridge as tripos coach, and in 1846 was appointed to the parish church St. Michael, Cambridge.
For a time he acted as curate to the Revd Charles Simeon. In 1847 his health broke down and he returned to Sheffield working as a chaplain and teacher. Earnshaw published several mathematical and physical articles and books.
His most famous contribution,
"Earnshaw's theorem",
shows the impossibility of stable levitating permanent magnets: other topics included optics, waves, dynamics and acoustics in physics, calculus, trigonometry and partial differential equations in mathematics. As a clergyman, he published several sermons and treatises. "
The Rev. W. H. Bule, D.D., is the Author of Oriental Records. In addition this volume contains the bookplate of
R.M. Milburn M.A.
I believe he was the son of
Professor Richard H. Milburn Professor of Physics emeritus Tufts University. "
He
focused on
optics, waves, dynamics and acoustics in physics, calculus, trigonometry. He
died after a long illness on December 7, 2015. An innovative experimental physicist, he spent a lifetime of research on the behavior of high energy elementary particles."
Condition acceptable/ good: bound in paper boards measuring “5.5 x 9” it appears the book was repaired along but professionally done. The spine also shows original paper label reattached. This  volume is complete with 372pp. As always feel free to ask any questions.
