The main object of this memoir is to show that the dissolution of metals in acids is a form of calcination . He proposes a system of symbols to express the reaction in a general way and shows that he is well aware of the problems of thermodynamics which were to prevent a full comprehension of chemical reactions until the concept of entropy had been formed.

Its title indicates its general scope which was to show the phenomenon of the replacement of certain metals from solutions of their salts by other metals. Lavoisier carried out numerous experiments tabulated their results and showed that had an inkling of the hypothesis afterwords known as the "law of multiple proportions". He was led to this concept by considering the amount of oxygen necessary to burn a given weight of each metal." Duveen & Klickstein I p.65f.

This most important memoir by Lavoisier and Laplace was based on work done in the winter of 1782-83. The paper was read before the Académie on June 18 1783. An ice calorimeter of their own invention was employed to measure specific heats and the heat evolved in combustion and respiration. In their experiements with guinea pigs Lavoisier and Laplace demonstrated that respiration is in every way a very slow combustion process and that chaleur animale is constantly beeing maintained by means of 'matière du feu' which is produced during respiration.

The "Journal de Physique as it was known published monthly unlike the annals of the Royal Academy which published annually. Consequently it was able to publish innovative papers and reports of lectures given at the Academy long before their "official" appearance. The rapidity of this channel from research to publication remains a remarkable achievement. Among the papers published in this six-month period are two by Lavoisier one on oxydation one on chemical nomenclature and a letter from Benjamin Franklin to David Le Roy.

First German Edition of the report made by Lavoisier to the Académie on the French translation of Scheele's Chemische Abhandlung von der Luft und dem Feuer. "The review is a warm one with Lavoisier expressing a greater confidence in his own ideas because of the confirmation given them by Scheele's experiments. Scheele used phlogiston to explain his results. No record has been found as to the time when Lavoisier first read ths book. previously on August 8 1781 Bertholett and Lavoisier had already submitted a joint report on Dietrich's translation of Scheele's book which was printed for the first time in his Oeuvres IV 337-379." In the second article "Lavoisier proves that air fixe rally is a compound of carbon charcoal and oxygen; he details a good many of the experiments by which this fact was established. The work thus certainly forms a plank in the platform of his new theory. He was of the opinion that all acids contain oxygen that oxygen is in fact the acidifying principle in all acids and he therefore called air fixe carbonic acid. This view was confirm to him by the fact that a solution of the gas in water exhibits acid properties." Duveen & Klickstein Nr.61 63.

Lavosier proves by experiments made on a guinea pig and in a theatre that animals and men cannot breathe and live without inconvenience in a determined volume of atmosphere for any length of time. He proposes that theatres hospitals and other places of assembly should be better ventilated but he does not draw any definite conclusions as to the exact chemical nature of the expired air which vitiates the atmosphere under such given circumstances.

FIRST EDITION first issue of one of the key books in the history of modern chemistry. This copy has all the features mentioned for the first issue such as the figurative title vignette and the misnumbered pages: 242/34 instead of 258/% 246/7 instead of 262/3 291 instead of 266/7 254/5 instead of 270/1. Unfortunately the table opposite page 100 is missing. Lavoisier's discoveries made a new and rational chemical nomenclature imperative. Initiated by Guyton de Morveau still an adherent of the phlogiston theory the project was taken up by Lavoisier who soon convinced Guyton of the truth of his system. They entered into collaboration with Berthollet and Fourcroy. The result of their combined efforts is contained in the present volume the most important milestone in the development of chemical nomenclature. The new nomenclature with only slight modifications is still the basis of the language of modern chemistry.

17801466Paris: Hotel de Thou rue des Poitevins 1780. LAVOISIER'S OFFICIAL EASTER MEMOIR ON THE COMPOSITION OF AIR. THIS IS THE 1780 edition. WE OFFER THE 1st 1778 EDITION SEPARATELY. <br /> <br /> In this work Lavoisier proposed that ordinary air is composed of two different gases one "highly respirable" that he named "oxygen" and the other later named nitrogen that was unable to support combustion or respiration. This work is commonly referred to as Lavoisier's "Easter Memoir" because he presented an earlier version to the Academy around Easter of 1775; as this is the 1778 revised version historians regard it as Lavoisier's "official" Easter Memoir Wikipedia. <br /> <br /> In April 1778 "Lavoisier read for a second time the memoir in which he had originally demonstrated in April 1775 that mercury precipitate reduced without charcoal disengages not fixed air but the ‘air itself entire' or ‘the purest portion of the air'. He made some revisions in the text that have attracted widespread attention from historians" Holmes Lavoisier 137. <br /> <br /> In the time between 1775 and 1778 Lavoisier repeated some of performed some new experiments of his own and repeated some of Priestley's. In the 1778 ‘official' version Lavoisier "altered the language in which he had described that air calling it now ‘the most salubrious the most pure portion of the air' and air ‘in an eminently respirable state'. Fastening on to this last phrase he again referred to the air later in his memoir as ‘eminently respirable air'. At the same time he deleted references to it in the original version as ‘common air' and eliminated the experimental description that it reacted to the nitrous air test in the same manner as common air. <br /> <br /> "Historians have tended to treat with suspicion the textual changes Lavoisier made. The implication seems to be that he sought to represent himself as having clearly understood in 1775 that the air released from the mercury calx is a specific portion of the atmosphere when in fact he had then still not distinguished it unambiguously from ordinary air. If one couples this suspicion with acceptance of Priestley's charge that Lavoisier had obtained the idea for the experiment from him in the first place then one creates an image of Lavoisier as one who is known to have had an ‘occasional tendency to allow the work of others to pass as his own'. <br /> <br /> "There is however no solid evidence that in making these changes he was attempting to rewrite history. His motivation was probably simple. By the spring of 1778 when his new theoretical edifice had solidified the experiments on mercury calx would have come to appear to him as one of the decisive experimental foundations on which he had erected it. Yet when he looked back on the paper which reported these experiments from the vantage point he had since attained the descriptions of the air he had identified in it would have appeared confused ambiguous and inconsistent. <br /> <br /> "The embarrassment of allowing such flaws to remain in what he could now anticipate might someday be regarded as a classic paper is obvious. Since the paper had yet to appear in the Memoirs of the Academy chronically two to three years late in publication he had a convenient opportunity to avoid that outcome" Holmes.

Very Good/No Jacket. FIRST EDITION JOURNAL ISSUE OF LAVOISIER'S FIRST CONTRIBUTION TO THE ACADEMY OF SCIENCES. "Lavoisier's earliest chemical investigation his study of gypsum was mineralogical in character; begun in the autumn of 1764 it was intended as the first paper in a series devoted to the analysis of mineral substances. 'I have tried to copy nature' Lavoisier wrote. 'Water this almost universal solvent. is the chief agent she employs; it is the one I have adopted in my work.'. Analysis convinced him that this gypsum was a neutral salt a compound of vitriolic sulfuric acid and a calcareous or chalky base. He further demonstrated that gypsum when transformed by strong heating into plaster of Paris gives off a vapor which he showed to be oure water making up about a quarter of the weight of gypsum. This first paper which in so many respects embodies the quantitative methods Lavoisier was to employ in his later work had in fact been anticipated by others." DSB.
