Schroeder Sur la theorie de la dissociation de M. H. Sainte-Claire Deville 1866. 29 pp. Archives Neerlandaises des Sciences Exactes et Naturelles T. I. Very good. 413 "An important work on chemical dissociation in which Deville demonstrated by means of ingenious experiments that equilibria of reactions at high temperatures are frequently different from those at lower temperatures." – Neville. / "Deville employed very high temperatures and became a recognized authority on the use of this technique. His measurements of the vapor densities of compounds at various temperatures helped to confirm Avogadro's hypothesis. These studies led Deville to his most notable discovery the dissociation of heated chemical compounds and their recombination at lower temperatures. He heated such substances as water carbon dioxide and hydrogen chloride and then cooled them suddenly to recover the decomposition products. This work led to a better understanding of the mechanism of chemical reactions and to significant developments in physical chemistry." – DSB. / "The effect of heat on chemical reactions was of particular interest. From the time of Bergman it had been realized that reactions often followed a course at high temperatures which differed from that followed at lower ones. In 1857 Henri Deville began a series of studies which established quantitatively a new type of high-temperature reaction. Deville was a distinguished inorganic chemist whose researches on the preparation of various metals had led to methods for the manufacture on a large scale of many industrially important substances. In the course of his studies on the preparation of sodium and potassium and their use as reducing agents in the manufacture of other metals Deville often used high temperatures. He was aware of the decompositions which often occurred under these conditions and he suspected that such decompositions were of very frequent occurrence. He therefore undertook the study of reactions which occurred reversibly at high temperature. Such reactions he called dissociations and by an extensive series of studies he showed the importance of dissociation as a general phenomenon in chemistry." – Henry M. Leicester & Herbert S. Klickstein A Source Book in Chemistry pp. 392 ff. / With 5 chapters : I : Affinite et chaleur. II : Combinaison et decomposition des matieres gazeuses. III : De la dissociation. IV : Application des phenomenes de dissociation a l'explication des reactions chimiques.

171521211London 1715. Disbound. Mild soiling at edges<br/> <br/> Unrecorded<br/> <br/> An unrecorded British petitionary leaflet protesting the recent election of the young Sir Robert Gordon to Parliament for Caithness in Scotland. The petitioner Sir James St. Clare or Sinclair lost to Gordon in the February election and argues here that his opponent was not a valid candidate being "an Infant not Nineteen Years of Age" and unable to prove any land holdings in Caithness that would qualify him to be elected. St. Clare notes that he traveled "Five Hundred Miles to make good this his just Complaint." He was evidently rebuffed however as Gordon would serve as MP for Caithness from 1715 to 1722. Sir Robert Gordon 1696-1772 was the 4th Baronet of Letterfourie Sutherland. This extremely rare document is among the first examples of lobbying literature which first began proliferating in the lobby of the House of Commons following the accession of King George I in 1714 and the Whig Party's massive victories in the elections of 1715. unknown
