All editions of these Gibbs papers that I've ever seen are the same photo reproduction of the original articles. I suspect that no one has ever dared to try and typeset it again. I've never met anyone, including myself, who's claimed to have studied the whole thing. There's a synopsis of the sections at the end of the second part of the paper which came in the same pdf as the first part that I downloaded. I can't say that I see where the derivatives with respect to entropy get treated, it certainly isn't obviously all over the place. -- rec --
