FIRST EDITION of Berzelius's first textbook on animal chemistry which included the results of many of his own experiments on animal tissues and fluids. "Berzelius' work as the creator of the science of chemistry in general is universally known. One of his most important contributions however is his investigation of the substances that are produced by life on the earth. In his Lectures on Animal Chemistry published during the years 1806-1808 he expounds his conception of life-phenomena in general and besides records a number of fresh facts in the sphere of organic analysis which he later still further augmented" Nordenskiöld The history of biology pp. 371-372 "In his analysis of the blood Berzelius separated the solid and liquid parts by coagulation and examined each part separately. In the clot he found compounds of carbon phosphorus calcium magnesium and iron. The serum consisted of water containing albumin various salts and some animal matter. His analysis of the serum confirmed results obtained by Marcet. Berzelius also found that bile saliva mucous fluids the humors of the eye and serous fluids contained the same salts in roughly the same proportions as in blood serum. He thought that this result showed that all animal secretions were ultimately derived from the blood. Thus by the second decade of the nineteenth century the new humoralism had already produced useful observations on the properties and constituents of the blood."

182924163Bristol: Printed for the editor by Philip Rose 1829. Hardcover. g. 4to. xi2629pp. Gold lined three-quarter leather over marbled boards with gold lettering on spine. Rare edition of the Book of Jasher sometimes called Pseudo-Jasher to distinguish it from the Sefer ha Yashar. The title page of the book states: "The Book of Jasher: with Testimonies and Notes Critical and Historical Explanatory of the Text. To which is prefixed various readings and a preliminary dissertation proving the authenticity of the work. Translated into English from the Hebrew by Flaccus Albinus Alcuinus of Britain Abbot of Canterbury who went on a pilgrimage into the Holy Land and Persia where he discovered this volume in the city of Gazna." The book claims to be written by Jasher son of Caleb. Jasher covers biblical history from the creation down to Jasher's own day and was represented as being the Lost Book of Jasher mentioned in the Bible. The supposed translation was declared an obvious hoax by the Monthly Review and in 1756 the printer Jacob Ilive was sentenced to three years in jail. A photographic reproduction of this edition was published in 1924 by the Rosicrucian Order in San José California who declared it was an inspired work. Marbled endpapers. Age wear and scuffing on binding. Head of spine chipped. Few finger smudges on some leaves. Tight copy with binding in good interior in overall very good condition.

185336184Basel 1853. 8vo. A little later green hcloth w. simple handwritten paper title label to spine. Some leaves brownspotted. VII 1 512 pp. <br/><br/><em>First edition of the first publication of any of Burckhardt's books his fist major publication the important and influential "The Age of ConstantinE the Great".Burckhardt's "The Age of Constantine the Great" was the first work to describe an "Age of Constantine". It was also the first work of a series of cultural histories that Burckhardt had planned. The series was supposed to begin with the age of Pericles and end with that of Raphael and that of Constantine became the first to appear. The work founded the basic structure of his other later cultural histories namely representing what he considered the three great powers: state religion and culture. Burckhardt eminently describes transitional periods and periods of crises and this work deals with the transition from late pagan Antiquity to early Christian Middle Ages.The age of Constantine is here considered as the necessary transition from Antiquity to the Christian era and as such it is also understood as the basis of the culture of the Middle Ages. In opposition to the historians of his time Burckhardt portrayed the Emperor Constantine negatively as a calculating politician only concerned with preserving his own power whose turn toward Christianity was purely speculative and driven by politics. He is thus portrayed as wholly unreligious and as having the sole goal of dominion. The work and the portrayal of Constantine caused the greatest controversies within religious and historical circles. The work became hugely influential and many later historians were inspired by both the controversial portrayal of Constantine which they applied to other historical figures as well as well as of Burckhardt's theories of the transition between the two eras. The Swiss historian of art and culture Jacob Chrisoph Burckhardt 1818-1897 contributed seminally to the historiography of these two fields. He is considered the discoverer of the Renaissance and with his later main work "Die Cultur der Renaissance in Italien" he founded the study of thirteenth- to fifteenth-century Italy and thereby the historical study of the Renaissance the society of which he dealt with all aspects of. In general Burckhardt's works all constitute an original historical approach to the study of art culture social institutions etc. As a highly respected scholar of Greek civilization Burckhardt with his original historiographical approach was highly admired by Nietzsche who also attended his lectures. The two kept in contact and corresponded frequently. Like Nietzsche Burckhardt was a great admirer of Schopenhauer and he greatly opposed the Hegelian interpretations of history."Outstanding among his Burckhardt's writings are besides the books on Italian art and civilization "The Age of Constantine the Great" 1853 in which he reinterpreted Gibbon and the two posthumously published books."
