186542439London Taylor & Francis 1865. Large 4to. Without wrappers. Extracted from "Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society of London." Vol. 155 - Part I. Pp. 71-202 and 1 lithographed plate. Clean and fine. <br/><br/><em>First printing. A major paper in physical chemistry of which he may in some respects be regarded as the founder. Kopp's fame rests mainly apart from the results presented here on physical chemistry on his writings dealing with the history of chemistry."In 1864 Kopp undertook the study of specific heats of a large number of elements and compounds in an attempt to verify Neumann's law that the product of molecular weight and specific heat is a constant regardless of the nature of the substance in the paper offered. He found that in fact the relation was much more complicated and involved a large number of factors. He was however able to show that each element has the same specific heat in its free solid state as in its solid compounds. The specific heas of compounds could be calculated from those of their elements" DSB. </em> unknown

Index following. 372 pp.<br /> <br /> Marcet employs a fascinating pedagogical method framing these teaching "modules" into conversations -- . ". framing a scientific dialogue between two pupils Caroline and Emily or Emilie and their teacher Mrs. Bryant Mrs. B. Caroline the younger asks flippant questions that still move the dialogue along while Emily is more controlled and reflective. Mrs. Bryant is a maternal mentoring figure who leads them to question and examine their ideas. Both the scientific content and the discursive process of sharing scientific knowledge were important to Marcet's readers.Mrs B's flippant pupil Caroline says she would have thought a woman could be excused ignorance of that topic. Mrs B replies tartly "When you plead in favour of ignorance there is a strong presumption that you are in the wrong.".

Jane Marcet 1 January 1769 - 28 June 1858 was an . innovative writer of popular explanatory science books .She produced expository books on chemistry botany religion and economics under the general title "Conversations". In her prefaces Marcet addresses whether such knowledge is suitable for women arguing against objections and stating that public opinion supports her view The first was written in 1805 though not issued until 1819 as Conversations on Natural Philosophy. It covered the basics of scientific knowledge of the time: physics mechanics astronomy the properties of fluids air and optics.<br /> <br /> By writing in discursive English she made scientific knowledge accessible not only to women but to men not trained in the fundamental languages of a classical education Latin and Greek. While her original intent was to educate women she reached a broader audience in line with enlightenment ideals and laid claim to the natural sciences as a public endeavour.Her works remained standard textbooks for several decades. .One of those who read her work was Michael Faraday born in 1791 who would become one of the world's greatest scientists revolutionizing physics and chemistry. He was impressed by her work on chemistry which helped him to find a new calling for science. He later claimed it had played a vital role in his own career as a chemist. Crocker and Brewster unknown
