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

Deville's paper: pp. 857-861. <br/><br/><em>First printing of Deville's first paper on "Dissociation" establishing a new type of high temperature chemistry."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 eries of studies which established quantitatively a new type of high- temperature reaction. 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 therfore 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 importence of dissociation as a general phenomenon in chemistry." Leicester a.

He used the sodium obtained by his method for the preparation of such elements as silicon boron and titanium.

1841EBS100246Paris: Imprimerie de Bachelier Rue du Jardinet no. 12 1841. Soft cover. Very Good/Very Good. First Ed 8vo.Deville s doctoral thesis. Orig. green printed wrappers: 2 leaves pp 3 4-48; slight Tear bottom of spine Sondheimer #431; see Partington IV pp 497-9; numerous important discoveries including first practical process to produce aluminum. Henri Étienne Sainte-Claire Deville 18181881 a French chemist is best known for his later contributions to metallurgy and inorganic chemistry particularly in the industrial production of aluminum and platinum refining. However his 1841 thesisÉtudes sur l'Essence de Térébenthinerepresents an early systematic investigation into turpentines chemical properties preceding his groundbreaking metallurgical work. This doctoral dissertation presented to the Faculty of Sciences at the University of Paris focuses on the chemical composition physical properties and reactions of turpentine oil a volatile substance derived from conifer resins widely used in paint medicine and industrial applications. Deville analyzed the molecular structure of turpentine oil which is primarily composed of terpenes such as pinene. His work clarified the role of hydrocarbons in the composition of essential oils. The study includes experimental distillation methods to separate and purify turpentine components. This thesis places Deville among the early researchers in terpene chemistry influencing later studies on essential oils resins and natural hydrocarbons.
