A manuscript on physics composed of 160 leaves of Japanese paper, having been preserved in the Kume Museum (Tokyo), was made open to public on the occasion of the Exhibition "Kunitake Kume and Bei-0 Kairan Jikki (The Iwakura Embassy Itinerary)" held at the Museum in 1985. Inspection of the MS revealed that it was written by K. Kume (1839~1936), a Japanese historian, who compiled Bei-0 Kairan Jikki (first published in 1878 and now available as 5 volumes of Iwanami Bunko). Detailed analysis of the MS has made clear that it was a partial translation from a Dutch book, Eerste Grondbeginselen der Natuurkunde (1847~) by P. van der Burg (1808〜1889) enlarged with free and wide-flung annotations of Kume's own. In the present paper, given are the results of comparative study among the MS, Grondbeginselen, Bei-0 Kairan Jikki and the related literatures

Along with the celebrated achievement in the heat conduction research, J. Fourier (1768-1830) carried out extensive studies on thermal radiation in the years of about 1805-1828, the process and accomplishment of which are analysed here on the basis of his MS's (1805-1807), nine papers (1807-1828) and the eminent monograph Theorie Analytique de la Chaleur (1822). Fourier's concern in the early stage was to control the radiative characteristics of the surfaces of the samples for heat conduction experiments, either by blackening or by polishing. These trials enriched his view on the boundary condition for heat conduction equation. Nextly he developed mathematical means for expressing radiative processes, for example, multiple reflection among surfaces having various configuration. On the physical sides of the radiation phenomena, he discussed repeatedly the significance of Lambert's law of emission, not in line with the corpuscular theory but on a more realistic standpoint of thermal equilibrium. This standpoint made him able to proceed to conceptualize the equivalence of emission and absorption of thermal radiation at every element of the surfaces in thermal equilibrium. Finally, he clarified the meaning of thermal state in the cavity, the wall of which was kept at a uniform temperature. The last two of the above-mentioned attainments of Fourier seem to be of great importance as interconnections between the Genevan phenomenological approach (by Pictet, Prévost) and the German thermodynamical formulation (by Kirchhoff, W. Wien) of thermal radiation doctrine.

Reported here are the results of analytical comparison of books on physics compiled in the Catalogue of Sapporo Agricultural College (1888) in Hokkaido with those of Tokyo University (1881),Gakushuin (1902), Keiogijuku (1906) and Waseda University (1903). Books found to be common to all these are: Quackenbos, Natural Philosophy, Stewart's Physics, Deschanel's Natural Philosophy, Ganot's Elementary Treatise on Physics (tr. by Atkinson) and Todhunter's Mechanics for Beginners etc., amounting to 48 copies in total. Analysis had revealed that physics education performed on the basis of the book collection in Sapporo, a northern city of Japan, was essentially on the same level as that of Tokyo University, which acted as one of the most prominent educational institution in the metropolis of Japan. As for the physics education in Sapporo, executed by such teachers as Wheeler and Peabody (1876-1881, American), Tachibana (1881-1886), Kodera (1886-1896), Hirano (1893-1903), Okazaki (1893-1896) and Aoba (1903-1906) of the College, the textbooks of high preference had shifted chronologically from that of Quackenbos, through that of Stewart, to that of Ganot (tr.)

Sapporo Agricultural College (1876-1907), established by the Kaitakushi Branch of the Meiji Government and directed, in s early stage, by W. S Clark, the President of Massachusetts Agricultural College, had built a unique collection of foreign books of physics, significant not only in quantity but also in quality, through the Yedo and Meiji eras of Japan. A thorough investigation of the conserved books (113 copies) and a time-sequential analysis of introduction of them to the College library resulted in the following observations, where the year of publication and that of introduction were assumed to coincide and the whole sequence (1850-1907) were divided into each interval of five years; 1) As for the regional distribution of the original publication, three peaks are remarkable, the first at 1875 features American natural philosophy text books, the second at 1885 English natural philosophy ones and the third at 1895 German lecture series of physics, respectively. 2) More individually, the first peak is represented by Quackenbos * Natural Philosophy (1873), the second by Stewart's Lessons in Elementary Physics and the third by Violle's Lehrbuch der Physik (1892, tr.by Gumlich) as well as other German lecture series. Besides them, noticeable is the repeated introduction of Ganot's Elementary Treatise on Physics (tr. by Atkinson) over the whole period, particularly in 1890's.

Joseph Fourier, known as the author of Theorie analytique de la chaleur (1822), had previously tried to confirm the results of his mathematical analysis by experiment and reported some details of these experiments in his first paper on heat conduction "Theorie de la propagation de la chaleur dans les solides" (1807). Additionally, in Fourier's MSS., left are many notes on his experiments dated before 1807. They give vivid evidence not only for Fourier's experimental skill, but also for the actual modes of physical experiments in his time. The aims of Fourier's experimental research were (1)to verify his ingenious foresights deducible from the theory—ex. experiments on the steady thermal state in annulus and on heat diffusion in annulus and spheres; (2) to analyze the physical conditions which affect the exactness of the experimental results but can not be expounded by purely mathematical means—ex. experiments on heat diffusion in spheres and cubes under various thermal condions; (3) to determine such physical constants as the ratio of external conductivity to internal one—ex. experiments on the steady state in annulus (which, though unsuccessful, was the stalling point for. new method) and (4) to carry out tests indispensable for applying mathematical analysis to such practical problems as the error and response of thermometers. Fourier's researches on heat conduction, so comprehensive as to cover theoretical analysis, experimental verification and even practical application, are really distinguished among the investigations contemporary with his ones.
