Méthode de Nomenclature Chimique Proposée par M.M. de Morveau Lavoisier Berthollet & de Fourcroy. On y a joint un nouveau Systeme de Caracteres Chimiques adaptes a cette Nomenclature par M.M. Hassenfratz & Adet PRESENTATION COPY

1787EBS100301Chez Cuchet Paris 1787. 1st Edition. Hardcover. Very Good/No Jacket. A landmark publication in chemistry where four French scientists presented a new systematic way of naming chemical substances laying the foundation for modern chemical nomenclature still used today. The late 18th century witnessed considerable debates over the theory and practice of chemistry. The chief theoretical shift was the identification of oxygen in place of the hypothesized phlogiston which led many contemporaries to view the existing chemical terminology as outdated and confused. This move was largely driven by Lavoisier 1743-1791 and his fellow authors of the Méthode Louis Bernard Guyton de Morveau 1737-1816 Claude-Louis Berthollet 1748-1822 and Antoine-François de Fourcroy 1755-1809. In the Méthode they develop a systematic nomenclature largely derived from oxygen theory arguing that chemical substances should be named according to their constituents. Simple substances should receive simple names and compounds should receive complex names deriving from their constituents. "The new terms were soon translated and adapted into other languages and became the basis of the modern nomenclature of inorganic chemistry. In the purely pragmatic terms of the terminology used modern chemistry therefore starts in 1787" Crosland p. 411. There were two issues of the first edition: this second is identified by misnumbering pages 258-9 262-3 266-7 and 270-1. The first edition itself there were two in 1787 is identified by the woodcut on the title page depicting a cherub supervising distillation. Duveen & Klickstein 126; Norman 1291. Maurice Crosland "Chemistry and the chemical revolution" in The Ferment of Knowledge: Studies in the Historiography of Eighteenth-century Science 1980. BOOK DESCRIPTION AND CONDITION: First Ed First Printing Second Issue Duveen and Klickstein pp 119-126 8vo 314pp huge folding table of Nomenclature six folded tables of chemical symbols; cherub & distillation apparatus on title page colophon p. 314. Mod. marbled boards. Very good condition throughout. The folding tables outline the first taxonomic system of chemical substances arranged according to their composition a system which proved immediately influential; even established figures like Priestley felt obliged to adopt the new terminology.

The Méthode forms a manifesto for a revolution in the world of chemistry and the birth of modern chemistry a chemistry that resolutely turns its back on the past by becoming scientific. It was Lavoisier the most influential scientist at the Academy of Sciences who brought together around his theory and to support it decisively the greatest French chemists: Fourcroy Berthollet Adet Hassenfratz and Guyton de Morveau whom the already formed group welcomed to Paris in February 1787. The latter joined them with an advanced chemical nomenclature which would be revised by Lavoisier who demanded that Morveau abandon his phlogistic theory principle of a combustible element in air dating from the 17th century since he had discovered the role of oxygen. It was at this price that he was entrusted with presenting the new nomenclature. It was in the session of May 2 1787 at the Academy of Sciences that the terms ""oxygen"" ""hydrogen"" and ""carbon"" were pronounced for the very first time. Adet and Hassenfratz were responsible for proposing symbols for ""new characters to be used in chemistry"" which would not have much success but was destined for a great future. The entire project was placed under the authority and will of Lavoisier and the decision that Morveau should carry the project was a political decision intended to ensure better reception among foreign scientists. No one was deceived because it was Lavoisier who would be attacked by Western science. Very important work that marks the birth certificate of scientific chemistry. Chez Cuchet unknown
