First Edition! "The principle has been followed in this bibliography of listing each paper and every volume in which Lavoisier's name is given as one of the authors or which were issued by an organization during his tenure of executive office also in those cases in which his authorship could not be incontestably proved or even when the evidence suggested that he did not write a specific article although he signed his name to it. The circumstances are pointed out in each individual case of this type. All anonymous publications the original manuscripts of which are preserved and which are printed in the Oeuvres have also been included. In the notes to each item Lavoisier's relationship to the particular piece under consideration has always been indicated. The material thus assembled is arranged in six sections. Section A contains all his contributions to periodical works arranged in chronological order. Lavoisier's four major works are described in section B. His minor separate works and contributions to separate works will be found in section C. Section D comprises a number of miscellaneous works containing material written by Lavoisier. Section E consists of a group of works which print reports on them submitted to the Academie by Lavoisier or by him in collaboration with others. Section F lists collected works devoted to Lavoisier only and which contain more than one of his writings. The separate numbered items are not only bibliographically described but they are also analyzed as to their content and historical importance. It is realized that the analytical commentaries are extensive but it was felt that they would be especially useful owing to the scarcity and consequent difficulty in consulting the originals of many of Lavoisier's works." - Introduction. Cross references are copiously used the separate numbered items are not only bibliographically described but they are also analyzed as to their content and historical importance. hardcover

1787315191787. Crells Chem. Annalen 1787/ 346; 1787/ 1. - Helmstädt Leipzig Müller 1787 pp.195-384 483-574 96 pp. 4 Broschur. 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. Duveen & Klickstein I p.54f. and: Lavoisier zwote Abhandlung über verschiedene Verbindungen der Phosphorsäure S.254-258. "This memoir was read on November 18 1780. It is concerned with the compounds of phosphoric acid. Lavoisier refers to oxygen in this publication as air vital. " Duveen & Klickstein p.53 Lavoisier über ein besonderes Verfahren Phosphor ohne Verbrennen in Phosporsäure zu verwandeln S.259-262. Lavosier points out in this paper that if it was correct that phosphorus on burning yieled its acid through combinantion with atmospheric oxygen was induced to react with it. He state that theorectically nitric acid should be adequate for this purpose and describes the solution of phosphorus in hot nitric acid to give phosphoric acid. Lavoisier follows up his account with another attack on the phlogistan theory." Duveen & Klickstein I p.54 Duveen 55 externsice abstract 54 abstract 55 abstract unknown

In stiff paste paper paper label on spine titled in manuscript and with volume number in ink. Old bookplate. <br /><br />Volumes 31 comprising the issues for August through December 1787 of the lively forum for the publication of advancements in physics natural history and in mechanical arts. 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.

Lavoisier here gives a résumé of some ten years' experimental farming at Fréchines. He points out that contemporary customs leave the tenant farmers barely enough to live on and he pleads for a more tolerant and generous attitude from the landowners towards the farmers and for a less onerous burden on the later in so far as taxation concerned.

1788374291788. Crells Chem. Annalen 1788/ 67. - Helmstädt Leipzig Müller 1788 8° pp.481-574 96 pp. 2 orig. Broschur. 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.

thl50Paris: Deterville 1801. Second i.e. Third Edition of Lavoisier’s first major work. It was originally intended to consist of a series of volumes but only this first was ever published. The first part contains an historical review of the experiments with gases of Lavoisier's predecessors while the second records Lavoisier’s own experiments that he had carried out in 1773. “These experiments confirmed Lavoisier's suspicions that air or some constituent of air played an important role in the processes of combustion and calcination.†DSB p. 74 “Remarkable for his versatility as scientist and public servant Lavoisier was first of all a chemist of genius justly remembered for his discovery of the role of oxygen in chemical reactions and as the chief architect of a reform of chemistry a reform so radical that he himself spoke of his early on as a “revolution†in that science.†Ibid. p. 66 Duveen p. 342. cfHoneyman 1933.
