Clean and fine. <br/><br/><em>First appearance of both papers controversial as Brodie here tries to established a new chemical philosophy refusing atomism and founding the calculation of chemical processes on Boolean Algebra defining chemical symbols with mathematical terms and notations. The work is a remarkable attempt to set chemistry on a rational deductive basis. - The introduction in the second paper meets the main points raised by his critics."In 1866 the Royal Society began to publish Brodie’s "The Calculus of Chemical Operations" Philosophical Transactions 156 1866 781-859; 167 1877 35-116 which introduced Greek symbols for the chemical elements to replace the roman alphabet Berzelian symbols that contemporary chemists used to represent atomic weights. Brodie’s symbols however represented operations on space volumes not weights for besides its revolutionary symbolism the calculus also demanded an appreciation of George Boole’s algebraic logic which Brodie had studied after the publication of Boole’s Investigation of the Laws of Thought in 1854. In this an equation such as y = xy is a symbolic statement that y is a subset of x in which the symbol x is an operator on y. Although professional mathematicians like William Donkin and Henry Smith later advised Brodie it appears that he developed the system without professional help. The principal difficulty about the calculus for the present-day historian and philosopher of science is the need to explain it before going on to discuss it and the difficulty of giving any concise description of it. Boole had developed the concept of symbolic operators in algebraic analysis. These provided a code as to how the symbols were to be understood and manipulated. Brodie exploited this in the idea of a chemical operator or chemical operations that he symbolized by Greek letters. It is probably unwise therefore to interpret Brodie’s philosophy as analogous to Percy Bridgman’s later operationism. He proposed that if two substances with the empirically-derived weights x and y combined to form a new compound with weight xy then x y = xy. From such weight equations he constructed a symbolic algebra that bypassed any atomistic interpretation."William H. Brock in "Hyle Biography". </em> 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.

Laurent is considered one of the most importent chemists in the 18th centuryHis first theoretical efforts were largely taxonomic in character. He then began to develop a pictorial model based on atomistic representations as considered by earlier French crystallographers. Laurent’s "nucleus theory" or "theory of derived radicals"located every substance at the intersection of two kinds of transformations: substitutions which operate on the matter inside the fundamental radical and do not affect its general chemical behavior and external modifications which influence various chemical functions. DSB."In his studies of the derivatives of naphtalene Laurent was impressed by the fact the the fundamental properties of these compounds remained in spite of the various substitutions which took place in them. A certain nucleus seemed to impose its properties on all its derivatives. This nucleus theory was the basis for the unitary which was specifically formulated by Gerhardt."Leicester & Klickstein "A Source Book in Chemistry" p. 345.The volume contains other notable papers by Regnault D'Arcet Chevreuil Rose Gay-Lussac and Carlo Matteucci's importent memoir "Sur la Propagation du Courant Electriques dans les Liquides" pp. 225-313. </em> hardcover
