Mendelejeff's paper pp. 133-229 2 periodic tables on p. 149 a. 151. Internally fine and clean. First printing of the first German translation of this milestone paper ONE OF THE GREAT CLASSICS OF CHEMISTRY in which Mendelejeff first coined the word "periodic" and in which he for the first time presented his great discovery of the periodicity of the elements in its full and complete form. At the same time the paper is the first to present his discoveries in a western language. In the paper he described and predicted the properties of a number of undiscovered elements - three of them were discovered in his lifetime. His periodic table was more complete than any of the preceding ones and more thoroughly founded on experiment. The periodicity of the elements he himself formulated as "Elements placed according to the value of their atomic weights present a clear periodicity of properties."The offered paper is the German translation of his paper which was issued in "Journal of the Russian Chemical Society" vol. 3 pp. 25-56 the same journal in which he first announced his discovery vol. 1 pp.66-77 1869 ."In March 1871 two years after his discovery of the law Mendeleev first named it "periodic". That summer he published in Justus Liebigs Annalen der Chemie his article "Die periodische Gesetzmässigkeit der chemischen Elemente." - the paper offered - which he later characterized as "the best summary of my views and ideas on the periodicity of the elements and the original after which so much was written later about this system. This was the main reason for my scientific fame because much was confirmed - much later.""DSB IX p. 289-90"Lothar Meyer and Dimitri Mendeleev independently discovered the periodic system but "Meyer did not publish this work until after the appearance of Mendeleev's first paper on the subject in 1869. His table was very similar to that of Mendeleev but it contained some improvements and was perhaps influential in causing some of the revisions made by Mendeleev in the second version of his table published in 1870. In general Meyer was more impressed by the periodicity of the physical properties of the elements while Medeleev saw more clearly the chemical consequences of the periodic law."Source Book in Chemistry p. 434.Horblitt "100 Books famous in Science" the Russian paper 1869 No 74. - Dibner "Heralds of Science" No 48 only the later book of 1891 - Partington IV: pp. 891-897. - Source Book in Chemistry pp. 442 ff. - PMM: 407 under Moseley. - Neville "Historical Chemical Library" II: p. 162 only the French edition from 1879. hardcover

Marcet Jane The author of Conversations on Chemistry Political Economy &cABAA

John Hopkins' Notions on Political Economy Presentation Copy

18333474London: Longman Rees Orme Brown Greene & Longman 1833. First edition. Near Fine. Publisher's cloth binding retaining the delicate paper label to front board. Some bumping to corners and faint spotting to boards but a pleasing square copy in all. Internally a clean with just a bit of scattered foxing to endpapers and preliminaries. Scarce on the market this book documents Marcet's efforts to expand knowledge access to the working classes in order to make political self-advocacy possible. Presented by Marcet to Professor Pierre Prevost the philosopher and physicist best known for his experiment on the body's radiation of heat this copy bears his ownership signature on the front endpaper and an inscription from Marcet at the header of the title: "Prof. Prevost from the Author." A peer of such feminist thinkers as Maria Edgeworth Marcet is considered one of the most important figures in the history of women's education in science and economics. Her "Conversations" books which include texts on politics economics and science were ranked among the best-known educational texts of the nineteenth century. In addition to making these rigorous fields accessible to women who might otherwise be denied such training they also welcomed in young boys whose access to quality education might be hindered by class. Among her most famous readers was Michael Faraday who encountered her books while serving as a bookbinder's apprentice and was inspired to delve more deeply into the sciences Science History Institute. The present work seeks to popularize economic theory and put forward an argument for decreasing wage gaps among rich and poor; and in line with her overall project Marcet seeks to make her argument accessible to readers of all education levels. Wrapped in allegory in order to welcome in labor-class readers who may not have complex economic vocabularies Marcet's tale posits the need for new economic policy into a series of nine allegorical essays told "through the eyes of honest John Hopkins a laborer on low wages" Liberty. Scholars have increasingly viewed John Hopkins as an important and previously undervalued piece of Marcet's oeuvre; and her desire to bring the working class into dialogue about their own economic state signals an important cultural change. "Marcet was engaged in the work of the knowledge broker -- creating and maintaining networks between and among scientists and the larger public. Knowledge sharing was based upon the personal and social connections she facilitated by bringing together bankers scientists and professional economists such as Malthus Ricardo Mill and others. It was extended to the popular culture through the many editions of her Conversations addressed to the middle classes and enlarged to include the working classes with her John Hopkins's Notions on Political Economy" L. Forget. Lesser known but nonetheless one of Marcet's culturally important contributions this volume contains important lessons on how to expand a class's knowledge base and provide the tools for political and economic self-advocacy. Notably this copy reveals the influential scientific communities she participated in connecting her to men in the hard sciences who knew of and read her work. Feminist Companion 713.

In: "Annales de Chimie ou Recueil de Mémoires concernant la Chemie" Tome 78 79 80 81 82 and 83. Entire volumes offered. The 14 parts: Tome 78: pp. 5-37 105-132 217-242. - Tome 79: pp. 113-142 233-264. - Tome 80: pp. 5-37 225-258. - Tome 81: pp. 5-36 278-303. - Tome 82: pp. 5-33 113-125 225-72. Tome 83: pp. 5-35 a. pp. 117-127. With in all 3 engraved plates. Some scattered brownspots. The papers represents one of the first announcements of Berzelius' discovery of the fixed chemical proportions determining the weights and valencies of the various constituent elements in inorganic compounds. The papers were published at the same time in Swedish German both here in Annalen and in Schweiger's Journal and in French. By running many hundreds of analysis of chemical compounds he gave so many examples of the law of definite proportions that the world of chemistry could no longer doubt its validity and in so doing he gave experimental evidence to the atomic theory. He hereby laid a solid fundation for the further development of chemistry. A reprint is found in Ostwald's Klassiker der exakten Wissenschaften No. 35.According to Söderbaum Jac. Berzelius 2 p.12 "It was a giant work one of the most importent in the history of chemistry which was here presented. One is even more impressed when one remembers that it was a pioneer undertaking in every sense of the term. Analytic and synthetic methods existed before Berzelius' time to be sure but there were no precise methods of the sort which he required. They all had to be elaborated at the cost of time and labour."J. Erik Jorpes "Jac. Berzelius" p.45."In general Berzelius's efforts were directed toward the consolidation and extension of the atomic theory. He improved chemical analysis and determined the composition of a large number of compounds thus verifying the laws of constant and multiple proportions and furnishing the most accurate equivalent weights then available. By ingenious methods he arrived at the correct atomic composition of most common substances and thus was enabled to draw up in 1826 a table of atomic weights very nearly identical with the modern one."Leicester & Klicktein "A Source Book in Chemistry" p. 258.Parkinson "Breakthroughs" 1810-20 C. unknown

By Thomas Thomson". Vol. II and Vol. III. Entire volumes offered. Berzelius' papers: pp. 276-284 357-368 the first paper in vol. II pp. 443-454 vol. II a. pp. 51-62 93-106 244-257 a. 353-364. vol. III. Internally fine and clean. First printing of these milestone papers in the history of chemistry where Berzelius introduced his famous chemical symbolism whereby an element is generally represented by the first letter of its Latin name or in the event of elements having the same first letter by the first two letters. Even though his atomic symbols were introduced in 1813 see the note on p. 359 in the first paper it was quite a few years before Berzelius's symbols were adopted by the chemistry community. But once accepted they became the new international language of chemistry.Berzelius "contributed more to the development of the atomic theory and to the setting up of accurate values of the atomic weights than did any other worker of the time. Of his contributions moreover to the development of the atomic theory and the advancement of chemical science not the least valuable was the introduction of a chemical symbolism which with slight modification is in use at the present day. By giving his symbols a quantitative meaning - the symbol of an element representing one atomic proportion by weight - it was possible "to show briefly and clearly the number of elementary atoms in each compound and after the determination of their relative weights present the results of each analysis in a simple and easely retained manner". This symbolism was speedily adopted on the Continent but in England only after some considerable time."Findlay "A Hundred Years of Chemistry" p. 14.Parkinson "Breakthroughs" 1813 C. - Leicester & Klickstein "A Source Book in Chemistry" p. 258 ff. - Holmberg 1813:28 a. The volume contains other notable papers THOMAS THOMSON "On the Discovery of the Atomic Theory" pp. 329-338. and JOHN DALTON "Remarks on the Essay of Dr. Berzelius on the Cause of Chemical Proportions" pp. 174-180 Vol. III. hardcover
