17781465Paris: De l'Imprimerie Royale 1778. 1st Edition. FIRST EDITION LAVOISIER'S OFFICIAL EASTER MEMOIR ON THE COMPOSITION OF AIR. <br /> <br /> 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.<br /> <br /> 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. <br /> <br /> 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. <br /> <br /> "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'. <br /> <br /> "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. <br /> <br /> "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. <br /> <br /> 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.

Édition originale du recueil des quinze "cours révolutionnaires" organisés au sein de l'École polytechnique nouvellement crée, afin de propager auprès d’auditeurs venus de toute la France, les nouvelles méthodes de fabrication du salpêtre, de la poudre et des canons, fruit des recherches communes des signataires de ces cours. La rédaction est due à Guyton de Morveau. Contient deux séries de leçons. La première a pour titre de départ: "Cours révolutionnaire de la fabrication du salpêtre et de la poudre". La seconde: "Fabrication des canons de fer coulé". La première série compte neuf leçons, huit numérotées de 1 à 8, datées du 1er au 8 ventôse de l'an II [du 19 au 26 février 1794], suivies d'une dernière non numérotée, dite "supplémentaire" et datée du 19 ventôse de l'an II [9 mars 1794]. Si Lavoisier, emprisonné, ne put participer à ce travail, on y trouve sa marque à toutes les pages sans que son nom ne soit jamais cité. On y retrouve également ses trois co-auteurs de la 'Méthode de nomenclature chimique': Guyton de Morveau, Fourcroy et Berthollet. (Duveen, 'Bibliotheca Chimica', p. 486. Martin & Walter, 'Anonymes', 14623). Dos frotté. La page de titre est roussie et montée sur onglet, restauration à un coin de la page 1 avec de perte de trois mots reproduits à la plume.

Crosland in "The two French Revolutions" and "The Imperial Despotism of Oxygen" claims that for a clear understanding of the CHEMICAL REVOLUTION THE NEW JOURNAL of ANNALES DE CHIMIE can be rightly considered as FUNDAMENTAL as the "Traite élementaire de Chimie"."A third and most important instrument was the establishment of a new scientific journal edited - and dominated - by the votaries of the "new chemistry". The first number of this journal of the Annales de chimie appeared in 1789 the year of the Revolution. Its editors were besides Lavoisier his early disciples - Guyton Berthollet Fourcroy and Monge - with the addition of three new recruits: the Strassbourf metallurgist the Baron de Dietrich Jean-henri Hssenfratz and Pierre Auguste Adet."DSB VIII p.81.LAVOISIER'S paper on COMBUSTION pp. 19-30 contains his important interpretation of the phenomena of combustion in air making the fundamental distinction between burning and combustion. By this "Lavoisier gave to the study of chemistry a new life a new direction and a wider outlook." Alexander Findley."The Lavoisierian memoir on combustion of iron stood out among the large number of interesting papers discussed in the first volume of the "Annales". In his account Lavoisier sustained that in nature combustion without flames did occur. Thus he clarified the distinction between ordinary burning and combustion: an issue on which the majority of traditional chemists were confused. The need for accuracy and precision in laboratory practices was emphasised in his study as it was a means to determine quantities rather than assuming them."Angela Bandinelli in "Scientific Communication During a Major Change .Empirical Research: Annales de chimie vs Obs. sur la physique/ Journal de physique 1789-1803.The volume furthermore contains important papers by: Adet Fourcroy 3 papers Berthollet 3 papers Chaptal Hassenfratz 5 papers Baron de Dietrich 2 papers Klaproth 2 papers Girtanner Dollfuss Bonz de Ettingen Crell De Morveau. </em> unknown
