Small stamp on verso of titlepage. <br/><br/><em>First appearance in German of this monumental paper in atomic theory and kinematics as it was the first evidence for atomism that was an observation rather than a deduction from abstract principles."In 1827 as he was viewing a suspension of pollen in Water under the microscope he noted that the individual grains were moving about irregularly. This he thought was the result of the life hidden within the pollen grains. However when he studied dye particles indubitably nin-livin suspended in water he found the same erratic motion. This has been called "Brownian motion" ever since and Brown could merely report on the observation. He had no explanation for it. Nor had anyone else until the development of the kinetic theory of gases by men such as Maxwell a generation later. It seemed plain. after Maxwell and especially after the work of Einstein and Perrin a half century after Maxwell that the Brownian Motion was actually a visible effect of the fact that water was composed of particles. It was the first evidence for atomism that was an observation rather than a deduction." Asimov.The issue contains other importent papers by C. Naumann G. Magnus Th.

Nordenskjöld was on the Swedish scientific expedition to the Antarctic 1901-1903 and would have had a particular interest in the results of the Discovery expedition.<br /><br />Meteorology is an important work providing a compendium of over a thousand synoptic charts concerning the Antarctic drawn not only from Scott's expedition but also from the Scottish Swedish and German expeditions. This was the first attempt to give an idea of the general principles underlying atmospheric circulation in the southern hemisphere.<br /> Rosove 288-9.A1 288-210.A1 binding b; Taurus 50; Spence 840.

With the titlepage to volume 57. <br/><br/><em>First appearance of a classic paper in which Proust describes his discovery of Grape.Sugar and the identificationof this with glucose. He investigated the varieties of sugar that occur in sweet vegetable juices distinguishing three kinds and he showed that the sugar in grapes of which he announced the existence to his classes at Madrid is identical with that obtained from honey by the Russian chemist J. T. Lowitz.Proust is famous for his work on the steadiness of composition of chemical compounds."In chemistry the law of definite proportions sometimes called Proust's Law states that a chemical compound always contains exactly the same proportion of elements by mass. An equivalent statement is the law of constant composition which states that all samples of a given chemical compound have the same elemental composition. For example oxygen makes up 8/9 of the mass of any sample of pure water while hydrogen makes up the remaining 1/9 of the mass. Along with the law of multiple proportions the law of definite proportions forms the basis of stoichiometry."Wikipedia. </em> unknown

Raoult's papers: pp. 1030-33 tome 95 and pp. 1430-1433 tome 104. <br/><br/><em>First appearance of Raoult's two importent papers in which described a method for finding the molecular weight of an organic compound by the determination of the lowering of the freezing point of water that resulted from dissolving that compound in water and the law governing the relation between solutes and vapor pressure."Then in 1882 F.-M. Raoult published his results on the effects of nondissociating organic solutes from which he deduced a general law controlling the lowering of freezing points the first paper offered. Four years later he extended this work to show the effect of solutes on vapor pressure the second paper offered. Having established the effect of nondissociating compounds he was in position to show that salts produced an eeffect which though anomalous could nevertheless be explained by the supposition that a dissolved molecule broke up into other molecules. This work was of great value in supplying a new method for determining molecular weights since the depression of freezing point and vapor pressure as well a the related rise in boiling point later discovered are proportional to the moleculat concentrations ofthe solutions; it was of equal value in supporting the ideas of van't Hoff on osmotic pressure. With the announcement of the dissociation theory of Arrhenius the anomalies were explained and the full significance of the generalizations of Raoult was recognized. Raoult published the formulations of his laws in the "Comptes Rendus" for 1882 and 1887 the papers offered" Leicester a. Klickstein "A Source Book in Chemistry" pp. 471 ff. </em> unknown
