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.

Pp. 341-357. Clean and fine. <br/><br/><em>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. - </em> unknown

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.

1791174569Paris: c.1791. A prime example of Madame Lavoisier's formidable analytic eye First edition scarce offprint issue of Madame Lavoisier's critical translation of the work of a prominent fellow of the Royal Society. In the UK institutional copies are recorded at UCL and in the Wellcome Collection. Marie-Anne Paulze Lavoisier 1758-1836 famously refuted the claims of the chemist Richard Kirwan 1733-1812 several times. In 1787 after he published his Essay on Phlogiston she brought out a similarly deprecatory translation complete with a preface which undermined his authority as an academic. Kirwan published Of the strength of acids and the proportion of ingredients in neutral salts in Dublin in 1791. In her translation Lavoisier's extensive annotations and critical apparatus focus on Kirwan's scientific and procedural errors. "II y a dans ces sortes d'expériences une cause d'erreurs qui paroit avoir échappé à M. Kirwan; c'est la grande quantité d'eau que l'acide carbonique est susceptible de dissoudre et qui échappe avec lui" "There is in these types of experiences a cause of errors which appears to have escaped Mr Kirwan: the large quantity of water which carbonic acid is likely to dissolve and which escapes with it" - p. 40. Marie-Anne married Antoine Lavoisier in 1771. She promoted their collaborative work to the international scientific community and used her command of languages to keep Antoine abreast of the latest developments. "Through her drawings translations interpretations of notes and skillful editing of Lavoisier's memoirs she made some important additions to the body of scientific knowledge. there are indications that she made some theoretical contributions" Ogilvie & Harvey. This translation was published in journal form in the Annales de Chimie which Antoine Lavoisier edited. Octavo 193 x 120 mm pp. 108. Woodcut headpieces and tables in the text. Recent red quarter morocco spine lettered in gilt marbled paper sides. Minimal wear minor foxing and creasing to contents: a very good copy indeed.
