Opening run of the journal ""Annales de chimie"" vehicle of ""The New Chemistry"" founded and directed by Antoine de Lavoisier Rue et Hôtel Serpente Paris 1789-1792 12.8 x 19.6 cm Relié First edition highly sought after in the 19th century comprising 14 of the first 15 volumes published between 1789 and 1792 of the first series of the celebrated French scientific periodical Annales de chimie. Volume 10 missing. Contemporary full brown calf spines smooth with gilt fillets brown morocco lettering-piece and green morocco numbering-piece blind-ruled border to covers red speckled edges bookplate of P. H. Chavoix to front pastedown of each volume. Volumes 1 and 11 numbered in Roman rather than Arabic numerals. Overall discreet restorations corners rubbed occasional light foxing and browning some worming to bindings not affecting text head and tail of headcaps worn on volumes 7 13 14 and 15. The complete first series of the Annales de chimie published between 1789 and 1815 runs to 96 volumes. From 1793 to 1797 publication was suspended following the arrest of Antoine Lavoisier the journal's treasurer and in Édouard Grimaux's words its ""true director."" The opening run here contains nearly all the issues produced under the direction of and with contributions from the chemists Antoine de Lavoisier and Baron Philippe Frédéric de Dietrich. Both were condemned to the guillotine during the Reign of Terror in 1794 and 1793 respectively. This set is further illustrated with 12 scientific plates including two by the engraver Sellier as well as a map of the county of Bigorre.

1787EBS100301Chez Cuchet Paris 1787. 1st Edition. Hardcover. Very Good/No Jacket. A landmark publication in chemistry where four French scientists presented a new systematic way of naming chemical substances laying the foundation for modern chemical nomenclature still used today. <br /> <br /> The late 18th century witnessed considerable debates over the theory and practice of chemistry. The chief theoretical shift was the identification of oxygen in place of the hypothesized phlogiston which led many contemporaries to view the existing chemical terminology as outdated and confused. <br /> <br /> This move was largely driven by Lavoisier 1743-1791 and his fellow authors of the Méthode Louis Bernard Guyton de Morveau 1737-1816 Claude-Louis Berthollet 1748-1822 and Antoine-François de Fourcroy 1755-1809. In the Méthode they develop a systematic nomenclature largely derived from oxygen theory arguing that chemical substances should be named according to their constituents. Simple substances should receive simple names and compounds should receive complex names deriving from their constituents. "The new terms were soon translated and adapted into other languages and became the basis of the modern nomenclature of inorganic chemistry. In the purely pragmatic terms of the terminology used modern chemistry therefore starts in 1787" Crosland p. 411. There were two issues of the first edition: this second is identified by misnumbering pages 258-9 262-3 266-7 and 270-1. <br /> <br /> The first edition itself there were two in 1787 is identified by the woodcut on the title page depicting a cherub supervising distillation.

178773124à Paris: Chez Cuchet 1787. Fine. Chez Cuchet à Paris 1787 13.50 x 21 cm broché Second printing of the first edition: pages 257 to 272 are misnumbered 241-256 Duveen and Klickstein. Illustrated with a large chart and 6 folding plates at rear. Library stamp of Laboratoires Lumière on the half-title title page and several other pages. Another stamp ""G. Chicanuard"" appears on the half-title; we have found no information about this person. Temporary binding in full marbled paper. Handwritten title on spine. Some small paper losses in places and joint on second board cracked but still sound. Copy as issued with full margins. The Méthode forms a manifesto for a revolution in the world of chemistry and the birth of modern chemistry a chemistry that resolutely turns its back on the past by becoming scientific. It was Lavoisier the most influential scientist at the Academy of Sciences who brought together around his theory and to support it decisively the greatest French chemists: Fourcroy Berthollet Adet Hassenfratz and Guyton de Morveau whom the already formed group welcomed to Paris in February 1787. The latter joined them with an advanced chemical nomenclature which would be revised by Lavoisier who demanded that Morveau abandon his phlogistic theory principle of a combustible element in air dating from the 17th century since he had discovered the role of oxygen. It was at this price that he was entrusted with presenting the new nomenclature. It was in the session of May 2 1787 at the Academy of Sciences that the terms ""oxygen"" ""hydrogen"" and ""carbon"" were pronounced for the very first time. Adet and Hassenfratz were responsible for proposing symbols for ""new characters to be used in chemistry"" which would not have much success but was destined for a great future. The entire project was placed under the authority and will of Lavoisier and the decision that Morveau should carry the project was a political decision intended to ensure better reception among foreign scientists. No one was deceived because it was Lavoisier who would be attacked by Western science. Very important work that marks the birth certificate of scientific chemistry. Chez Cuchet unknown
