Lavoisier's new terminology of chemistry was an important part of his reforms in the science and it has been in use with some modifications ever since its introduction. "The merits of the new nomenclature are even today more than evident since with only slight modification it is still the basis of the language of modern chemistry." Duveen & Klickstein pp. 119-126. Louis Guyton de Morveau was trained as a lawyer who taught himself the subject of chemistry. From 1776-1789 he taught public courses in chemistry at the Dihon Academy. He was professor of chemistry at the Ecole Polytechnique from 1794-1811 twice serving as its director.

Memoire sur la nature du Principe qui se combine avec les Metaux pendant leur calcination et qui en augmente le poids Lavoisier's Easter Memoir in Histoire de l'Academie Royale des Sciences. Année 1775. Avec les Memoires de Mathématique & de Physique pour la meme annee. Tires des Registres de cette Academie 1778 pp. 520-526 1778 FIRST EDITION LAVOISIER'S OFFICIAL EASTER MEMOIR ON THE COMPOSITION OF AIR

17781465Paris: De l'Imprimerie Royale 1778. 1st Edition. FIRST EDITION LAVOISIER'S OFFICIAL EASTER MEMOIR ON THE COMPOSITION OF AIR. 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. We offer the 1780 edition separately. 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. 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. "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'. "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. "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. ALSO INCLUDED: An important paper by P. S. Laplace introducing the concept of the "Coriolis effect" fifty years before Coriolis. Euler had also written about the effect in 1749.

Méthode de Nomenclature Chimique

1787612Paris: Cuchet 1787. 1st. Full mottled calf with gilt tooling along the edges gilt spine compartments with floral ornaments and leather spine label. Contemporary binding with rubbing and wear along the spine and corners. Boards show mottling and fading with some scuffing. Pages exhibit foxing toning and occasional spotting consistent with age. Folding tables are intact and legible though with some creasing and edge wear. Features: Marbled edges; multiple large folding tables and engraved charts; decorative typographic ornaments. Overall good. MÃ©thode de Nomenclature Chimique Paris: Cuchet 1787 is the groundbreaking work that introduced the modern system of chemical nomenclature marking a turning point in the history of science. Written collaboratively by Morveau Lavoisier Berthollet and Fourcroyâ€”four of the most influential chemists of the 18th centuryâ€”this treatise sought to replace centuries of inconsistent and confusing chemical terminology with a rational systematic method of naming substances. The work introduces a new nomenclature rooted in clarity precision and universality laying the foundation for the modern language of chemistry. Included are detailed explanations of the logic behind the naming system as well as extensive tables of elements and compounds that illustrate the method in practice. The treatise also contains supplementary sections by Hassenfratz and Adet who proposed a symbolic notation for chemical substances. Lavishly produced the book features large folding tables and engraved charts including the famous â€œTableau de la Nomenclature Chimiqueâ€ which visually organizes the new classification of substances. These elements highlight both the pedagogical and scientific ambitions of the project: to unify chemists under a single coherent system of communication. This volume is considered a cornerstone of the Chemical Revolution appearing just two years before Lavoisierâ€™s TraitÃ© Ã©lÃ©mentaire de chimie 1789 and cementing his role as the father of modern chemistry. .

LAVOISIER, (ANTOINE-LAURENT). - EMBODYING LAVOISIER'S QUANTITATIVE METHOD, HIS FIRST PAPERBiblio.com

Analyse du Gypse. 1765.

176844940Paris L'Imprimerie Royale 1768. 4to. Extract from "Mémoires fe Mathematique et de Physique Présentés à l'Academie des Sciences par divers Savans" Tome V. With tittlepage to vol. 5. Pp. 341-357. Clean and fine. First appearance of Lavoisier's FIRST PUBLISHED CHEMICAL PAPER introducing quantitative methods in chemistry and in which he for the first time brought a hydrometer in use to measure the specific gravities of components of a chemical solutions. Lavoisier defended the originality of his approach in the following words: "It is to the art of combination that the knowledge of the specific gravities of fluids can bring most light. This aspect of chemistry is much less advanced than we thought we possess barely the rudiments of it." "This first paper which in so many respects embodies the quantitative methods Lavoisier was to employ in his later work had in fact been largely anticipated by others notably by Marggraf who had already discovered the composition of gypsum and shown that it contained water phlegm. Yet Lavoisier’s work was more through; and his paper his first contribution to the Academy of Sciences read to the Academy on 25 February 1765 appeared in 1768. The paper offered. - 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. This systematic inventory was to be carried out not by the method of J. H. Pott "who exposed minerals to the action of fire" but by reactions in solution by the "wet way." "I have tried to copy nature" Lavoisier wrote. "Water this almost universal solvent "is the cheif agent she employs; it is also the one I have adopted in my work." Using a hydrometer he determined with the care the solubility of different samples of gypsum samples of selenite or lapis specularis some supplied by Guettard and Rouelle. He made similar measurements with calcined gypsumplaster of paris. Analysis convinced him that this gypsum was a neutral salt a compound of vitriolic sulfuric acid and a calcareous or chalky base. Not content with having shown by analysis the composition of the gypsum Lavoisier completed his proof by a synthesis following as he said the way that nature had formed the gypsum. He further demonstrated that gypsum when transformed by strong heating into plaster of Paris gives off a vapor which he showed to be pure water making up about a quarter of the weight of gypsum. Conversely when plaster of Paris is mixed with water and turns into a solid mass it avidly combines with water. Using the expression first coined by Rouelle he called this the "water of crystallization." DSB.Partington III pp. 378-79. - unknown

Méthode de nomenclature chimique

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

Resultats extraits d'un ouvrage intitule: de la richesse territoriale du royaume de France.

1819123040Paris: Madame Huzard 1819. Second edition first 1791 of Lavoisier's most important contribution as an economist "a milestone in the history of economic science and national statistics and accounting" Poirier p. 266. The work was reprinted after the Terror to which Lavoisier famously fell victim in Collection de divers ouvrages d'Arithmétique politique 1797. "De la richesse territoriale. de France which was printed in 1791 by order of the National Assembly constitutes an extract from a larger work on which Lavoisier had been engaged since 1784 in an effort to complete and verify an analysis of national income undertaken by Dupont de Nemours. Lavoisier's main argument is that the monetary valuation of national income from different sources leads to double counting; that the only method exempt from such difficulties is that based on an estimate of annual consumption since exports and imports in France balance one another; and that in estimating consumption allowance must be made for the variation in the budgets of different social classes. Thus he estimated that the annual per capita income of the poorest families is from 60 livres to 70 livres but he set the value of average per capita income at 110 livres a figure admittedly similar to that of Quesnay in his Philosophie rurale 1763. The net national income computed by estimating the net revenue in the various branches of agriculture he put at only 1200000000 of which half goes to the treasury in the form of taxes and the rest constitutes the landowners' rent" ESS p. 200.

Essays on the Effects Produced by Various Processes on Atmospheric Air; with a particular view to an investigation of the constitution of acids

1783EBS100454Warrington: Printed by W. Eyres for J. Johnson 1783. 1st Edition. Hardcover. Very Good/No Jacket. FIRST COLLECTED EDITION of this group of papers which Lavoisier published in the Mémoires of the Académie Royale des Sciences; there is no equivalent edition in French. The first paper is the first edition in English of his Expériences sur la respiration des animaux in which he asserted that respiration involved only the air éminement respirable i.e. oxygen and that the remainder of the air is purely passive entering and leaving the lungs unchanged. This began his first serious studies of respiration which were to culminate in 1785-1789 in his classic investigations on the subject see Fulton Selected readings in the history of physiology. Other papers are on combustion and on the analysis of acids including his paper read to the Académie in 1779 which contains the first appearance of the word oxygen in chemistry although the translator uses the usual term for time dephlogisticated air and Lavoisier's original definition of it. In the eighth essay pp. 96-118 of this important work Lavoisier proposes his theory that oxygen is an essential constituent of all acids and he remarks: Here therefore we have a new road opened in chemistry. p. 115. BOOK DETAILS AND CONDITION: 8vo xx 142 pp. Without half-title and advert leaf; Bound in recent half calf and marbled paper over boards; Early leaves foxed as usual. VG RARITY: A relatively rare book.
