In 8° (20,5x13,5 cm): 4 tomi: VIII, 408, (2 b.) pp. e 2 grandi c. di tav. più volte ripiegate, VIII, 411-745, (1) pp. e XIII carte di tav. ripieg., VIII, 347, (5 b.) pp., X, (2), 251, (5 b.) pp. Il terzo e quarto tomo non presentano l'occhietto con il titolo "Trattato elementare di chimica", nel terzo volume non presenti le 4 pagine di "Avviso al lettore" evidentemente mai aggiunte in questo esemplare. Ai frontespizi, nel margine esterno bianco, antico timbro settecentesco dell'alienata "Biblioteca degli Israeliti di Mantova" dove come in altri esemplari provenienti da questa celebre biblioteca privata, è stata abrasa la parola "Mantova" (nei tomi 1 e 3 fino a crare una piccola mancanza di carta, integrata con vecchia pecetta, in corrispondenza della parola Mantova, fra l'altro perfettamente leggibile nel primo tomo, stessa piccola mancanza di carta integrata con pecetta antica, in corrispondenza di altri due timbri, sempre degli Israeliti di Mantova, presenti nel margine basso bianco a metà, circa, del tomo I e II). Legature coeve in mezza pelle caratteristiche degli Israeliti di Mantova con dorso spugnato e piatti in carta coeva color caffè. Autore, titolo e numero dei volumi impressi in oro al dorso. Prima rarissima edizione italiana a trovarsi completa, di uno dei trattati della storia della chimica, pubblicata per la prima volta in francese nel 1789, dal grande chimico, biologo, filosofo ed economista francese, Antoine-Laurent de Lavoisier (Parigi, 26 agosto 1743 – Parigi, 8 maggio 1794). Il Traité di Antoine Laurent Lavoisier (1743-1794), pubblicato in Francia nel 1789, uscì in Italia nel 1791. La prima edizione andò esaurita dopo soli quattro mesi, la seconda comparve nel 1792 e la terza nel 1796. Sappiamo che le belle tavole che accompagnano l'opera, vennero disegnate da Marie Anne Paulze Lavoisier, moglie dell’Autore. Anche lei era appassionata di chimica. Aveva tradotto per il marito il Saggio sul flogisto e la costituzione degli acidi di Richard Kirwan ed era stata allieva del celebre pittore David che, tra l’altro, la ritrasse accanto al marito. L'edizione italiana vede la cura e la traduzione del noto scienziato, politico ed agronomo, Vincenzo Dandolo (Venezia, 22 o 26 ottobre 1758 – Varese, 12 dicembre 1819). "Il suo Traité Élémentaire de Chimie (Trattato di chimica elementare, 1789), è considerato il primo moderno libro di testo di chimica; presentava una visione unificata delle nuove teorie della chimica, negava l'esistenza del flogisto e conteneva una chiara enunciazione della "legge di conservazione della materia": «Rien ne se perd, rien ne se crée» "Nulla si perde, nulla si crea". (Albert Einstein, più di cent'anni dopo, riformulò questa legge in altri termini.) Inoltre, Lavoisier chiarificò il concetto di elemento come sostanza semplice che non può essere scomposta da nessun metodo conosciuto dell'analisi chimica, e concepì una teoria della formazione dei composti chimici a partire dagli elementi. In aggiunta stilò una lista di elementi, o sostanze, che non potevano essere scomposte, che includeva ossigeno, azoto, idrogeno, fosforo, mercurio, zinco, e zolfo. La sua lista, comunque, includeva anche luce e calorico, che credeva essere sostanze materiali". Il terzo tomo contiene l'opera "Esame delle affinità chimiche" di Louis Bernard Guyton de Morveau (1737 - 1816). Il quarto tomo contiene un dizionario vecchio e nuovo di nomenclatura chimica, un dizionario nuovo e vecchio di nomenclatura chimica, la dissertazione di Lavoisier sulla respirazione, la dissertazione di Lavoisier e Seguin sulla traspirazione. Prima rarissima edizione a trovarsi completa dei quattro tomi. Rif. Bibl.: Duveen & Klickstein p.180 and p.149; Guareschi, La chimica in Italia, pp. 444-6; D.B.I., XXXII/pp. 511-516.<BR>
In-8, demi-chagrin à long grain rouge à la Bradel, dos orné de petits fleurons et roulettes dorés, titre en long (rel. moderne), 23 p. Edition originale de cette relation de l'affaire dite du 'Bateau chargé de poudre'. En pleine effervescence révolutionnaire, la population parisienne, qui craignait une trahison, se souleva pour empêcher un chargement de poudre de quitter Paris par bateau et s'en empara au Port Saint-Paul sur la Seine. Accusé d'avoir eu le projet d'expédier la poudre aux armées contre-révolutionnaires, Lavoisier faillit être lynché par la foule et dut se justifier devant les représentants de la Commune de Paris. (Duveen & Klickstein, 302). Bon exemplaire, très bien relié.

1792One large folding printed table & six folding engraved plates. 2 p.l. 314 pp. 8vo cont. mottled calf foot of one joint repaired. Paris: Cuchet 1787. First edition second issue of one of the key books in the history of modern chemistry. 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. In the second printing of the first edition the following pages are misnumbered: 241-56 instead of 257-72. Very good copy. ❧ Cole 566. Duveen & Klickstein 129.

"An entirely different issue of the usual 'Seconde edition.' Deterville has reprinted the entire book with the errata corrected in the text and the plates re-engraved by Tardieu l'aine Rue de Sorbonne No. 385. In the original edition the engraver had been de la Gardette who incidentally engraved Lavoisier's book-plate. The half-title with the titre de relais is present as before. The remark which appears at the end of the prior issue 'Le Privilege du Roi se trouve aux Memoires de l'Academie Royale del Sciences' is here omitted." Duveen & Klickstein. This is Lavoisier's first major work. In this work on combustion and calcination which first appeared in 1774 Lavoisier first published his investigations into the nature and properties of gases in connection with numerous experiments and laid the basis of his antiphlogistic theory. Lavoisier gives a history of gases and a detailed account of his experiments. It was in this pioneer work that he broke ground that was new to him and asserted himself on an important question that was in controversy. The Opuscules one of Lavoisier's four major works resulted from his study on combustion and experiments with phosphorus and sulfur and the conversion of calces into metals. The work consists of a historical section and an introduction on gases; the second part describes his experiments dealing with the problems of combustion calcination and air fixation. "Although Priestley isolated oxygen it was Lavoisier who discovered its real significance. He showed the true nature of the interchange of gases in the lungs and exploded Stahl's phlogiston theory." Garrison and Morton. A native Parisian Lavoisier was one of the most important scientists of the 18th century. Because of his loyalty to the Ancien Regime Lavoisier fell into disfavor with the ruling National Assembly. He and his father were both arrested on 24 December 1793 tried on 8 May 1794 and executed by guillotine the same day. As the apocryphal story goes Lavoisier appealed at his trial for time to complete some scientific work at which the presiding judge replied "The Republic has no need of scientists." Authentic however is the remark attributed to Lagrange the day after Lavoisier's execution: "It took them only an instant to cut off that head and a hundred years may not produce another like it." The titre de relais reads: "Cet ouvrage a l'exception des tables fut imprime pendant la detention du citoyen Lavoisier. Il ne faut donc pas etre surprise si l'edition n'en est pas belle; on se rappelera sans peine qu'a cette epoque les matiepremieres manquoient pour l'impression." trans.: "This work with the exception of the tables was printed during the detention of Citizen Lavoisier. One should not be surprised if the edition is not beautiful; one will note without sorrow that this impression is without the errors of the first edition.".

FIRST EDITION second issue second printing with the flowered vase on the title-page previously a cherub and no colophon on page 314. 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.
