1831666311831. Lehrb. Chem. 4/1. - Aus dem Schwedischen übersetzt von F. Wöhler. - Dresden in der Arnold'schen Buchhandlung. 1831 8° 8 703 1 pp. Pappband d.Zt. First German Edition with the ExLibris von Johannes Büttner! Baron Jöns Jacob Berzelius 1779-1848 "was the first person to make the distinction between organic compounds those containing carbon and inorganic compounds. "Organische Chemie" Organisk Kemi. "Berzelius stated in 1810 that living things work by some mysterious "vital force" a hypothesis called vitalism. Vitalism had first been proposed by prior researchers although Berzelius contended that compounds could be distinguished by whether they required any organisms in their synthesis organic compounds or whether they did not inorganic compounds. However in 1828 Friedrich Wöhler accidentally obtained urea an organic compound by heating ammonium cyanate. This showed that an organic compound such as urea could be prepared synthetically and not exclusively by living organisms. Berzelius corresponded with Wöhler on the urea synthesis findings. However the notion of vitalism continued to persist until further work on abiotic synthesis of organic compounds provided substantial evidence against vitalism. " wiki In 1838 Jöns Jacob Berzelius became the first scientist to use the term "protein" a word that has become a cornerstone of biochemistry. "Wöhler is considered a pioneer of organic chemistry because of his synthesis of oxalic acid by hydrolysis of dicyan in 1824 and of urea from ammonium cyanate on 22 February 1828. These syntheses opened up the field of biochemistry as for the first time substances previously known only from living organisms could be artificially produced from "inanimate" matter. At first these in vitro syntheses were hardly noticed by chemists. With the increasing success of chemists in the field of organic synthetic chemistry however Wöhler's synthesis was seen as the beginning of this branch of chemistry and thus a "creation myth" of organic chemistry developed around the urea synthesis which can still be found today in many chemistry textbooks but also in historical accounts. "wiki "If one compares this work with Liebig's book the new path that Liebig took becomes clear. Berzelius had compiled the existing experimental material according to organs. Liebig on the other hand tried to present the large interrelationships of the processes in the living animal organism. Nutrition respiration the production of mechanical work and animal heat as well as the formation of the protein-rich "structures" of the body i.e. the tissues and organs are traced back to chemical processes and explained in their context."

First Edition! "Considered by many authorities to be the greatest of the 19th-century systems of anatomy. Many structures are named after Henle including the looped portion of the uriniferous tubules of the kidney the layer of cells in the root sheath of a hair and the ampulla of the uterine tube." G&M Friedrich Gustav Jakob Henle 1809-1885 physician pathologist and anatomist. He is credited with the discovery of the loop of Henle in the kidney.

1837657461837. Berolini prostat apud Aug. Hirschwald 1837 4° VI 37 1 pp. und eine lith. Tafel mit 10 Abbildungen feiner Pappand mit eingebundener Titelbroschur; Tafel in Faksimile etwas fleckig. FIRST EDITION - "Modern knowledge of the epithelial tissues starts with Henle. He first described the epithelia of the skin and intestines and defined the structure and function of columnar and ciliated epithelium. He applied the term 'epithelium' to all mucous membranes in the body." "The importance of the cell theory is immediately sensed in the work of Jacob Henle 1809-1885 the greatest German histologist of his time and one of the greatest anatomists of all time. In his classic researches of 1836-37 he was the founder of modern knowledge of the epithelial tissues of the body. Altogether the histological discoveries of Henle take rank with the anatomical discoveries of Vesalius" Garrison pp. 457-458 uncharacteristically fulsome in his praise. "The year 1837 saw the publication of a book of the first importance by Henle 1837 who now described nucleated cells in very diverse human tissues including even the skin of the glans penis. He uses the word 'Cylindri' when referring to cells of columnar epithelium but elsewhere uses 'Cellulae'. In describing his Fig. 4 he refers to the 'Cellulae nucleatae' of the human conjunctiva. He illustrates the nuclei of the epithelium of the trachea particularly clearly Fig. 10. He mentions p. 4 that the nucleus sometimes contains granules. It is not too much to say that this work with that of Valentin 1836a marks the beginning of an epoch in cytology the epoch of the nucleated cell." Baker Henle examined a wide range of epithelial tissues: the respiratory epithelium and its accessories; the conjunctiva; the external auditory meatus and the middle ear; the mucosa of the intestinal canal and the glands opening into it salivary glands tonsils etc.; male and female urogenital mucosa; the glands of the skin; the pleura the pericardium and the dura mater. It was by far the most systematic and wide-ranging study of epithelia that had so far been made and remained for many years the standard work on the subject. The epithelia were divided into three categories: 'Pflasterepithelium' pavement epithelium that was composed of rather regular flat cells enclosing a nucleus; 'Cylinderepithelium' columnar epithelium consisting of a tight array of upright conical bodies with their apexes turned towards the mucosa and their bases towards the free surface. Usually they contained halfway down their length a round or oval flat 'Kern mit Nucleus' This can only mean nucleus and nucleolus so that apparently Henle used the term 'Nucleus' to describe the nucleolus; Flimmerepithelium' ciliated epithelium which was identified only by the presence of the cilia. This study antedates Schwann's monograph and does refer to the observations of Purkyne and Valentin on the choroid plexus. The cells of the epithelium 'contain a round nucleus in which a nucleolus can usually be discerned'. Again Henle uses 'Nucleus' to describe the nucleolus which probably indicates the fluid state of terminology at that time rather than the confusion in Henle's mind. In any case his work established beyond doubt the cellular nature of epithelia and indicated that its constituent cells were usually Cmeist' nucleated and nucleolated."

Eduard Kaspar Jakob Siebold 1801-1861 "nimmt in der Geschichte der Geburtshilfe eine ganz eigentümliche Stellung ein. Ein Kind der naturphilosophischen Medicin die bis über das 3. Decennium unseres Jahrhunderts hinaus herschte passte er mit seinen Anschaunungen in die spätere Zeit den Beginn der naturwissenschaftlichen Medicin nicht mehr hinein. Er vermochte den in ihrem Entwicklungsgange ihm fremden neuen Fortschritten der Medicin nicht zu folgen und sich ihnen zu assimiliren. Sie standen ihm fern. Aufgewachsen in einer Zeit in der die Geburtshilfe noch fast getrennt von der Gesammtmedicin bearbeitet wurde konnte er sich in die neuere Anatomie und Physiologie nicht einleben. Das Gleiche galt auch von der am Ende des 4. und am Anfange des 5. Decenniums unseres Jahrhunderts sich entwickelnden modernen Gynäkologie. Andererseits aber besass er eine allgemein classische Bildung die theilweise an den Polyhistorismus des 18. Jahrhunderts erinnernd ihn weit über seine Zeitgenosssen stellte ." -cf.

See also: megalithic sites of Rugen painted by Caspar David Friedrich and others. Some think Rügen island might have been the home of the Greek temple of Apollo in 500 B.C. Apollo was the god of light and the sun-god who loved amber and amber was thus considered sacred. The largest deposits of amber in the world and those exploited the longest were on the shores of the Baltic Sea in northern Europe. Baltic amber has a rich history of ancient trade supported by guilds of amber craftsmen and stunning works of art. Apollo's love of music poetry and all the fine arts made him the perfect god for the craftsmen on the island. Annotation by Margaret Odrowaz-Sypniewska Printed for Richard Phillips by J. G.
