1790EBS100146Edinburgh: William Creech 1790. 1st Edition. Hardcover. Very Good/No Jacket. Robert Kerr 1755-1813 undertook this first English translation of Lavoisier's Traité elementaire de Chimie Paris 1789. Printing & the Mind of Man headlines the original edition as "A new epoch in chemistry." <br /> <br /> A more recent analysis pinpoints the importance of this book: "Lavoisier's most fundamental innovations transformed how one presents how one argues scientific knowledge and how as a result one develops and transmits it. The transformation of the terms and structures of scientific discussions had consequences beyond chemistry-consequences that Lavoisier himself did not foresee". W. C. Anderson Between the library & the laboratory John Hopkins 1984. <br /> <br /> BOOK DETAILS AND CONDITION: First Eng. Ed 8vo: 50 511 1 pp with 2 folding tables and 13 folding copper plates Duveen and Klickstein pp 180-182 Cont. leather w/some wear missing head and tail bands. Neville II p 24: Some alterations have been made in the tables in the appendix to accommodate the English reader: e.g. rules for converting French weights and measures are added and temperatures are given in degrees Fahrenheit. See A. Greenberg From Alchemy to Chemistry in Picture and Story John Wiley & Sons New York 2007 pp 309310316.

116617Edinburgh for William Church and sold by G.G. & J. Robinsons and T. Kay 1796. . Third English language edition; 8vo; 2 folding tables 13 engraved folding plates bookplate of Oliver Sacks contemporary ownership signature to title a little toning and occasional small spots to the text plates possibly added from another volume with some dampstain and tanning; original blue boards rebacked to style with printed paper label to spine boards worn very good condition; 592pp.<br /> Third English language edition of Traité Élémentaire de Chemie the text that revolutionised chemistry. From the library of Dr. Oliver Sacks with his octopus bookplate. Though best known as a neurologist Sacks had a lifelong interest in chemistry. As recounted in the book Uncle Tungsten: Memoirs of a Chemical Boyhood he spent much of his childhood performing his own experiments and reading classic chemistry texts and his thoughts on Lavoisier and Traité Élémentaire de Chemie comprise chapter ten.<br /><br />Lavoisier's remarkable experimental program elucidated several major interrelated aspects of chemistry. It 'finally established the modern conception of elements as substances which cannot be further decomposed' and the fact that matter is conserved in chemical processes i.e. elements change their arrangements but are not themselves created or destroyed. This was connected with his discovery that respiration and combustion are similar processes in which oxygen is taken from the air and added to another substance. He was therefore able to explain 'many cyclical processes in animal and vegetable life and to carry out the earliest biochemical experiments' Printing and the Mind of Man 238. <br /><br />As Sacks writes in Uncle Tungsten 'All of Lavoisier's enterprises - the algebraic language the nomenclature the conservation of mass the definition of an element the formation of a true theory of combustion - were organically interlinked formed a single marvellous structure a revolutionary refounding of chemistry. The path to his revolution was not easy or direct even though he presents it as obvious in the Elements of Chemistry. There had been violent disputes and conflicts during the years in which Lavoisier was slowly gathering his ammunition but when the Elements was finally published - in 1789 just three months before the French Revolution - it took the scientific world by storm. It was an architecture of thought of an entirely new sort comprable only to Newton's Principia'.<br /> Printing and the Mind of Man 238; Hook & Norman The Norman Library of Science and Medicine 1295 all for the first edition. Edinburgh, for William Church, and sold by G.G. & J. Robinsons, and T. Kay, 1796. hardcover
