1814753Paris: Chez Crochard 1814. 1st Edition. FIRST EDITION FIRST PRINTING OF GAY-LUSSAC'S CLASSIC PAPER ON IODINE. Two volumes bound as one. The Dictionary of Scientific Biography notes this as one of Gay-Lussac's most important papers DSB Noted in DSB 5 327. In the late nineteenth century the chemist Wilhelm Ostwald winner of the 1909 Nobel Prize selected Gay-Lussac's paper as "one of the first and one of the best monographs of all time on a single element and its most important compounds and as such it has served as a model for many later pieces of research" Crosland Gay-Lussac: Scientist and Bourgeois 85. <br /> <br /> Louis Joseph Gay-Lussac 1778-1850 was a French chemist and physicist with a well-known rivalry with Humphry Davy. While J. C. Courtois discovered iodine in 1811— and while he recognized iodine to be a distinctive substance from its purple vapor — he confused its compound with hydrogen as that of hydrogen chloride. Gay-Lussac and Davy were asked to further explore the issue however they carried out their research virtually simultaneously making it somewhat difficult to assign priority. Davy's claim for the originality of his study of iodine depends upon his argument of knowledge prior to that of Gay-Lussac. While the publication history is confusing history credits Gay-Lussac DSB Vol. 5 p. 322. <br /> <br /> "In 1814 Davy did some further research on iodine but. in prolonged and detailed research he was outshone by Gay-Lussac who presented a full study of the new element in a major memoir read to the Institute on 1 August 1814" Crosland. Davy's work had been somewhat hurried and incomplete while Gay-Lussac's was anything but. When published this paper at 155 pages filled an entire issue of the Annales de chime" Crosland. <br /> <br /> Gay-Lussac's work in this paper was exceptionally detailed and he "deserves full credit for his detailed study of hydrogen iodine which he found to have a 50 percent hydrogen content by volume. He contrasted its thermal decomposition with the stability of hydrogen chloride. By the action of chlorine on iodine he prepared. iodine monochloride and trichlorise. After further careful study of the properties of iodine he prepared and examined a number of iodides and iodates. He prepared for the first time ethyl iodide by distilling together concentrated hydriodic acid with absolute alcohol" DSB Vol. 5 p. 322. <br /> <br /> In this paper his most important on the subject Gay-Lussac settled Courtois's confusion proving that the new substance was an element analogous of chlorine and it was Gay-Lussac who gave iodine the name iode from the Greek ioeides "violet colored". In a curious side-note some even saw Gay-Lussac's paper as wondrous including the "normally restrained German edition L. W. Gilbert who suggested that the memoir transports the reader into a sort of fairyland. In order to understand Gilbert's remarks the 20th century reader would have to forget his modern sophistication and try to recapture the childlike wonder which might be engendered on first seeing the black crystals of iodine transformed by heat into a beautiful violet vapor with no equal among contemporary dyestuffs" ibid. <br /> <br /> ALSO INCLUDED is the first publication of a paper read to the Institute of France in 1804 by the French chemist Armand Séguin. In it Séguin details his study of opium of the greatest import being his "technique for obtaining another substance from opium" Robinette 378. Séguin "did not know it but he was on the trail of one of the most far-reaching medical discoveries of all time" — morphine Booth Opium 68. Séguin's discovery was not published for a decade until the paper offered here by which time the chemist was in disgrace for embezzling drug supplies from the French army and his work was dismissed. In his speech and paper Séguin "reported finding ‘a very peculiar vegetable-animal material'" Robinette. Though the timing in muddled as by the time of publication other researchers had made similar discoveries writing in 1832 Pelletier argued strongly for Séguin's preeminence; that Séguin's "vegetable-animal material" was in fact the discovery of morphine: ‘M. Séguin signaled the existence of the most energetic principle of opium described the means of obtaining it and indicated its essential and distinctive characteristics so that he only lacked the naming of it ‘morphine' in order to be in possession of the honor of its discovery'" ibid.

Courtois in which he showed that the new substance was an element analogous of chlorine and in which he named the substance Iode from the Greek ioeides meaning "violet colored".Gay-Lussac's and Davy's rechearches on iodine were carried out simultaneously which makes it difficult to assaign priority. Gay-Lussac was annoyed at Davy's introsion. His work however is considered as a model of experimental research. Leicester & Klickstein "A Source Book of Chemistry" p. 293."Gay-Lussac's major publication on iodine was not ready to be read to the Institute until August 1814 by which time not only Davy but Vaquelin had explored the subject fairly extensively. Gay-Lussac however deserves full credit for his detailled study of hydrogen iodide which he found to have a 50 percent hydrogen content by volume. He contrasted its thermal decomposition with the stability of hydrogen chloride. By the action of chlorine and iodine he pepared independently of Davy and at about the same time iodine monochloride and trichloride. After further carefull study of the properties of iodine he prepared and examined a number of iodides and iodates. He prepared for the first time ethyl iodide by distilling together concentrated hydriodic acid with absolute alcohol. The close analogy that he emphasized between chlorine and iodine led him to further investigation of the former and he discovered chloric acid by the action of sulfuric acid on a solution of barium chlorate."DSB V pp. 322-23. - Parkinson "Breakthroughs" 1814 C. - Duveen p. 237.The volume contains other importent chemical papers A.

The three part paper offered here established “the relationship between electric current-flow and magnetism and established the new science of electrodynamics.†Norman <br /> <br /> “In a four page circular dated Copenhagen July 21st 1820 H.C. Orsted communicated his great discovery that a closed voltaic circuit exerts forces on an adjacent magnetic needle. In more modern language: a current-carrying electric circuit gives rise to magnetic forces in its surroundings. Orsted had found the long sought affinity between electricity and magnetism. The letter reached Arago … who at the next meeting of Academie des Sciences on Sept. 11th 1820 with Ampere in attendance presented the letter and Orsted's experiment. It was indeed a memorable meeting. Already at the next weekly meeting on Sept. 18th Ampere delivered an explanation of Orsted's experiment and supported it with new experiments of his own. At every weekly meeting in the following months Ampere produced new results.†Ekelof<br /> <br /> 'In this first paper Sept. 18 he explains the law determining the position of the magnetic needle in relation to the electric current and he also makes known his intended experiments with spiral of helical wires which he predicts will acquire and retain the properties of magnets so long as the electrical current flows through them He constructed his spirals and helices and to the astonishment of all he produced magnets formed only of spools of copper wire traversed by electric currents.' Mottelay<br /> <br /> The Honeyman sale #82 notes that the paper offered here is "The first appearance of the first of a series of important papers reporting Ampere's discoveries on the electric current." Honeyman also had #83 the first separate appearance of these journal articles published as "Memoires sur l'Action mutuelle de deux courans electriques." which we believe had additional information not present in this journal appearance and hence is not a traditional "offprint" but a later state of the work. Norman notes that Ampere developed the science of electrodynamics over the next seven years publishing in a "bewildering array of journal articles offprints and revisions of earlier works.further noting some 'reprints' of Ampere's articles appear in as many as five different versions."<br /> <br /> This is an opportunity to own the original first printed appearance of Ampere's fundamentally important work in Electrodynamics. It would be an interesting collection to build the variations of Ampere's work over those seven years to see how his thought evolved. As far as we are aware there is no standard bibliographic reference for Ampere's work.<br /> <br /> LITERATURE<br /> Dibner Heralds of Science 62 first separate edition<br /> Honeyman Sale 82 original journal appearance<br /> Mottelay Bibliographical History of Electricity and Magnetism p. 472<br /> Norman 43 first separate edition. <br /> Ekelof Catalogue of Books and Papers in Electricity and Magnetism pp 284-286<br /> Sparrow Milestones of Science p33 first separate edition.

Gay-Lussac and Thenard. With researches on ammonia gas by Mr. Berthollet. Being Extracts from the Proceedings of the Society of Arcueil. Translated into Italian with notes by Mario Giardini.' There should be two issues of this pamphlet the other is described as having a pagination error at pp. 57-64 which is corrected here suggesting a second state which this should be. / Chemist L.J. Thenard collaborated with Gay-Lussac in the study of metals and together they arrived at the separation of sodium and potassium by chemistry which had already been achieved through Volta's battery. The book was dedicated to Francesco Carelli knight of the order of the Two Sicilies etc. by M. Giardini who recalled how Davy's recent discovery on the "nature of alkalis and alkaline earths "had attracted the attention of all European chemists and so he published this vol. p.5 which contains: Method employed by Mr. Davy Metodo Impiegato dal Sig. Davy p. 9 for the decomposition of soda ash and potash; Attempts Tentativi . . . p .11 employed by Davy to know the nature of alkaline earths; Extract of the memoirs read at the Inst. National from Mar. 7 to Feb. 27 1809 Estratto p. 18 by Messrs. Gay-Lussac and Thenard; Process for obtaining the metals of potash and soda Processo per ottenere I metallic p. 21 ; Properties of the metal of potash Proprieta del metallo della potassa; Properties of fluoric acid and particularly of its action on the metal of potash p. 48; Action of the metal of potash over oxides metal salts earthy alkaline p. 63; Of the metal of soda p. 68; Nature and properties of muriatic acid and oxygenated muriatic acid p. 71; Memoir on the analysis of ammonia p. 88 by Mr. Berthollet read at the Institute at Mar. 24 1808. / Crosland describes this Italian 'Society of Arcueil' as one of social standing and personal relationships – not a proper scientific association or academy as is typically thought of; rather in this case Napoleon's support of science is reflected with this loose associated body – here a 'society.' / "In the field of research Berthollet's work was above all a model for Gay-Lussac. On a personal level Berthollet was a pleasant man and a good friend; yet it was the man of science that Gay-Lussac took as his model. What mattered most was his conception of scientific activity. Even if his subject chemistry distanced him from the great mathematics on the one hand and biology on the other he remained open to a certain multidisciplinary approach. It was applied chemistry that interested him the kind that justifies the scientific approach by the search for applications in the tradition of the Encyclopedie." - Maurice Crosland Gay-Lussac savant et bourgeois p. 43.
