182843317Leipzig Johann Ambrosius Barth 1828. Without wrappers as issued in "Annalen der Physik und Chemie. Hrsg.von Poggendorff" Bd. 12 Zweites Stück. Pp. 161-336 the entire issue offered Heft 2 together with the titlepage to 12. Band. Wöhler's paper: pp. 253-256. Clean and fine printed on good paper. <br/><br/><em>First appearance of this milestone paper marking the beginnings of organic chemistry in which Wöhler describes how he managed to synthezise urea from cyanate of ammonia. This broke down the old distinction between organic and inorganic substances. "This was the first synthesis of an organic compound and this accomplishment is generally regarded as the beginning of organic chemistry."Sparrow "Milestones of Science" p.37. The discovery destroyed the vitalistic theory which held that organic compounds could be produced only by living organisms and led eventually to the brilliant results that have been achieved in attempts to synthesize other organic compounds.Dibner: Heralds of Science no. 45. - Sparrow: Milestones of Science no. 197. - Garrison & Morton no. 671.

Uncut and mostly unopened. Custom cloth box. Papers from this supplement series to the 'Proceedings of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences' are often mistakenly identified as offprints or 'first separate edition' because they have their own title page with the publishers named and their own pagination, but they are not - all publications from this series were printed separately in this way and issued in a wrapper mentioning number and volume (not present here).

Fine and clean. <br/><br/><em>First appearance of an extremely importent paper in the histroy of chemistry as Frankland here introduced the concept of 'VALENCY' - he called it 'atomicity' - to explain the capacity of atoms to combine with other atoms. "This led not only to the Kekulé structures but also to the periodic table of Mendeléev since that table was based on the regular change of valence with atomic weight."Asimov."On May 10 1852 Frankland read to the Royal Society a paper on organic metallic compounds the paper offered in which he made the emperical observation that elements possessed fixed combining powers or "only room so to speak for the attachement of a fixed and definite number of the atoms of other elements." The expression "valence" or "Valency" began to be used by other chemists only after 1865 wheras Frankland tended to use the misleading term "atomicity".Frankland's teching position at the Royal College of Chemistry and his influence on the Department of Sciences and Art science examinations enembled him to spread the idea through the younger generation of British chemists."DSB V p. 126.The exact inception however of the theory of chemical valencies can be traced to an 1852 paper by Edward Frankland in which he combined the older theories of free radicals and "type theory" with thoughts on chemical affinity to show that certain elements have the tendency to combine with other elements to form compounds containing 3 i.e. in the three atom groups e.g. NO3 NH3 NI3 etc. or 5 i.e. in the five atom groups e.g. NO5 NH4O PO5 etc. equivalents of the attached elements. It is in this manner according to Frankland that their affinities are best satisfied. Wikepedia. </em> unknown

Some scattered brownspots. <br/><br/><em>First appearance of this milestone paper in organic chemistry - a shorter note was published in Comptes Rendus in June 1858 - in which independently of Kekulé Couper introduces the CONCEPT OF BONDS represented as a dash or a dotted line in chemistry and also observes the very importent fact that carbon atoms forms the backbone of organic compounds."It was not till 1858 that a satisfactory theory of molecular constitution was advanced simultaneously and endependently by thwo young chemists Friedrich August Kekulé and Archibald Scott Couper. The theory of molecular constitution put foreward.by Couper and Kekulé rested on two main postulates the quadriivalency of carbon.and the capacity of the carbon atom for mutual linking or combining together to form a carbon "chain". By this hypothesis of the mutual linking together of carbon atoms - which waslater confirmed by experiment - it was possible to explain the formation of organic compounds containing a large number of carbon atoms. On the foundation of their postulates two postulates moreover they showed how the molecular constitution or mutual linking together of the atoms of a compound could be represented diagrammatically and the relstions between different compounds made readily intelligible. In his classic paper "On a New Chemical Theory" the paper offered here in its first appearance advanced beyond Kekulé by representing the constitutions of the compounds by means of GRAPHIC FORMULA in which as at the present day the valencies pf the atoms are represented by lines.his formulae are similar to those at present in use."Findlay pp. 34 ff"The theory of Kekulé and Couper gave the chemists the maeans of solving the problems of chemical constitution; and by means of the graphic or constitutional formulae it became possible to represent the molecular constitution of known compounds and to foresee the possible existence of isomeric compounds."Findlay.Parkinson "Breakthroughs" 1858 C.The volume contains another importent monumental memoir MARCELLIN BERTHELOT "Sur la Synthèse des Carbures D'Hydrogene" pp. 69-208. Here he prsents his review of his work in organic chemistry during the previous ten years. "In his conclusion Berthelot argued that chemistry differed from a descriptive science such as natural history by being creative and that in this it resembled the mathematical sciences."DSB </em> hardcover
