Antoine Lavoisier often referred to as the Father of Modern Chemistry and his wife Marie-Anne Pierrette Paulze Lavoisier later Countess von Rumford were eighteenth century French chemists responsible for overthrowing the "false doctrine of Phlogiston". Lavoisier relied on Paulze's translation of foreign works to keep abreast of current developments in chemistry. In the case of phlogiston it was Paulze's translation of Richard Kirwan's 'Essay on Phlogiston and the Constitution of Acids - with her own footnotes critiquing his errors - that convinced him the idea was incorrect ultimately leading to his studies of combustion and his discovery of oxygen gas. <br /> <br /> Lavoisier was a victim of The Terror of 1794 and guillotined in Paris. "It took but a moment to cut off his head; it will take a century to produce another like it" mourned his friend Lagrange the mathematician. The Autobiography of Science p.228.<br /> <br /> The collected essays show the development of Lavoisier's thinking and in the penultimate essay VIII the term "oxyginous principle" principe oxygin i.e. oxygen appears for the first time in chemistry p.98 This paper was first submitted to the Academie in 1777 and read in 1779.

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. <br /> <br /> 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. <br /> <br /> 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. <br /> <br /> 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. <br /> <br /> 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.

Wrappers a little stained and marked lightly toned throughout. Antoine Laurent Lavoisier 1743-1794 aristocratic French scientist humanitarian social reformer and administrator of the Ferme générale. His contributions to the sciences particularly in chemistry and biology are fundamental to modern understandings of the disciplines. He named both oxygen and hydrogen as well as producing the first extensive list of elements contributing significantly to combustion theory in the process. He also assisted in the construction of the metric system and founded and taught at the Musée des Arts et Métiers. His wife and laboratory assistant Marie-Anne Paulze Lavoisier became a renowned chemist in her own right. Lavoisier was accused of tax fraud at the height of the French Revolution and was guillotined in 1794. He was pardoned around eighteen months later. . L'Office National Météorologique. Large 8ov.

The volume contains papers by Macquer Darcy Lavoisier Sage Baumé de la Rochefoucault Clouer and an anonymous report on experiments made in England CAVENDISH'S on the composition of nitric acid.papers by Cornette Thouvenel and Thouvenel Le Lorgna Gavinet and Chevrand de Beunie Romme Clouet and Lavoisier de Rochefoucault etc.Partington III p. 467 n."The Regie des Poudres et Salpetres had the monopoly of refining salpetre from 1775 until it was suppressed during the Revolution. Until his retirement in 1791 the leading light in it was Lavoisier who seems to have written its publications. - In 1775 the Academy offered a prize of 4000 livres for a process for procuring an abundant supply of salpetrethe announcement being written by Lavoisier. Altogether 66 papers were received and the prize was finally awarded in 1782 to the brothers Thouvenel who gave a full account of nitre plantations. The material was published in 1786 in one volume by the Academy. In it Lavoisier describes 'Experiences sur la décomposition du nitre par le charbon' said to have been made in 1784."Partington III pp. 466 ff."Peu de temps après que Lavoisier eut été nommé régisseur des poudres et salpêtres il suggéra à Turgot alors contrôleur général des finances l'idée de charger l'Académie des sciences de décerner un prix au meilleur mémoire sur la formation du salpêtre. 'Académie nomma une commission dont Lavoisier fut le rapporteur ; c'est lui qui examina tous les mémoires présentés au concours en fit l'analyse et quand l'Académie publia en 1786 un volume contenant l'histoire du prix du salpêtre et les mémoires présentés au concours c'est encore Lavoisier qui en fut le rédacteur. Ce volume fait partie du Recueil des mémoires de mathématiques et de physique présentés à l'Académie royale des sciences par divers savants et lus dans ses assemblées tome XI contenant le Recueil des mémoires sur la formation et la fabrication du salpêtre à Paris de l'imprimerie Moutard DCCLXXXVI. Sauf les mémoires des concurrents et un mémoire du duc de la Rochefoucault ce volume est tout entier de la main de Lavoisier. Il est formé de deux parties ; la première est intitulée : Histoire de ce qui s'est passé relativement au prix proposé sur la formation du salpêtre ; la seconde partie comprend les mémoires présentés au concours ainsi que des mémoires de Lavoisier et Clouet un mémoire sans signature mais qui appartient à Lavoisier le manuscrit autographe a été conservé le mémoire du duc de La Rochefoucault et les expériences de Lavoisier sur la décomposition du nitre par le charbon." </em> hardcover
