Pp. 44-51 and 1 textillustration. depicting his pp. 64-71. <br/><br/><em>First appearance of the 2 papers which represents Homberg's main works. In these papers he shows for the first time how to determine equal weights of substances that all acids differ only in water content and that dry acids combines in equal proportions with alkali. In the first paper he also gives the Pygnometer Bottle its modern form."Probably his most importent work was on the strenght of acids and the quantity required to neutralize a given quantity of alkali two papers published in 1699 and 1700 - the papers offered - Homberg recognized that different alkalis neutralized the same acid in different proportion but believed that the relative strenghts of two acids could be determined by using the same alkali in each case. he treated the the question of neutralization or dissolvability as he called it in quite quantitative fashion showing that if an alkaline salt were treated with an acid the gain of weight ofthe salt wasan indication of the amount of acid absorbed.Homberg nevertheless understood the fundamentals of the process and thereby laid the foundation for an understanding the nature of salts."DSB VI p. 478.Parkinson "Breakthroughs" 1700 C. </em> unknown

1781ST13831Venice: Giovanni Gatti 1781. 214 x 147 mm. 8 1/2 x 5 3/4". Four volumes. <br/> Attractive contemporary limp paper boards patterned with yellow red and black inks paper manuscript labels on spines deckle edges. With four folding engraved plates at the end of volume IV. Pastedown of volume I with a small square of paper with some inscrutable pencil notations glued down. Bolton p. 646; Cole 893; Partington III pp. 80-90. ◆Edges just a touch bumped a few pages with some very light foxing one page with a small hole affecting a word or two of text plates a little browned along the fold and one plate partially torn along the fold but still A SUPERB COPY exceptionally fresh and clean inside and out.<br/> <br/> Offered here in very pleasing contemporary paper boards this is the first combined edition in Italian of two of Macquer's most popular works: "Élémens de chymie-théorique" 1749 and "Élémens de chymie-pratique" 1751. Coherently written in a straightforward manner primarily with the classroom in mind Macquer himself was a highly respected teacher these works became instantly successful as university-level textbooks. Partington tells us that they replaced Lemery's rather outdated "Cours de Chymie" as the favored text for teaching and they were eventually translated into English German Russian and Italian. Macquer 1718-84 made a few modest chemical discoveries but his chief contributions to the science were his applications of chemistry in particular to the porcelain industry and most importantly his writing. In addition to the present work he also penned "the first dictionary of chemistry in the modern sense" according to Partington. Given that Macquer's works were often destined for the hands of students our copy is a fortunate survival indeed not to mention enormously charming with its original deckle edges clean contents and vibrant pattern. This edition also appears to be quite rare. OCLC locates only 10 copies worldwide with just one in the US Huntington and one in the UK Wellcome. Giovanni Gatti unknown
