Rare autograph inscription by Marie-Anne Paulze Lavoisier to Joseph Louis de Lagrange prominent mathematician and loyal friend to Antoine Lavoisier. Valuable record of the leading role played by Marie-Anne Paulze Lavoisier in the chemical revolution at the dawn of the French Revolution. Phlogiston theory emerged at the end of the 17th century conceived by Johann Becker and developed by Georg Ernst Stahl postulating the existence of a flame element inherent in combustible bodies and released during combustion. This hypothesis was completely refuted by Lavoisier who revealed the role of oxygen in the combustion process thus inventing the theory of oxidation. Irritated by Lavoisier's skepticism with regard to phlogiston theory the eminent Irish chemist Richard Kirwan published this text titled Essay on Phlogiston. . The French chemists who rallied around Lavoisier decided to respond by translating An Essay on Phlogiston into French. Keiko Kawashima Madame Lavoisier et la traduction française de l'Essay on phlogiston de Kirwan in Revue d'histoire des sciences 2000. This text far from being a simple translation of Kirwan's work adopted the form of a manifesto in itself in which the greatest chemists of the day contested phlogiston theory dissecting its advocates' arguments one by one. The huge success of the French translation led Kirwan to attempt to refute the objections of Lavoisier and his collaborators. In 1789 he published a second edition of his work translating the French notes written by its detractors into English and adding his own refutations. He finally converted to the ideas of the anti-phlogisticians the founders of modern organic chemistry. Marie-Anne Pierrette Paulze Mme Lavoisier played a key role in the career of her husband who taught her chemistry at her request; she then became his assistant recording the experiments he carried out and their results. She very quickly took on a role that went beyond that of the devoted wife becoming a translator but also a writer: many of the notes in the Essai sur le phlogistique were written by her. At the height of her involvement it was she in her capacity as a skilled illustrator who drew all the plates in Traité élémentaire de chimie 1789 appending her signature Paulze Lavoisier Sculpsit on this occasion. This specimen includes a rare autograph inscription by the translator Mme Lavoisier to Joseph Louis de Lagrange 1736-1813 one of her husband's closest friends. It was Lavoisier who aroused the interest of Lagrange in the new science of chemistry. Together they participated in the development of a metric system that standardized weights and measures which came to light during the Revolution. Working for the revolutionary government Lagrange had more opportunities than his chemist friend who was executed as a victim of the Terror. When he learned that Lavoisier had been killed at the guillotine the mathematician declared: It took them only an instant to cut off Lavo S. n. hardcover

DUVEEN 336<br /> <br /> Lacks covers and half title; toned foxed and brittle; title page detached; thereafter first gathering detached; chips and water stains. 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.

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
