1778Two folding printed tables & 13 folding engraved plates drawn & engraved by Madame Lavoisier. xliv 322 pp.; viii 331 pp. Two vols. 8vo antique sheep-backed marbled boards some foxing flat spines gilt. Paris: Cuchet 1793. Although described as the "seconde édition" on the title this seems to follow a pirated "seconde édition" printed by de Boiste earlier in the same year. Our edition was printed by Chardon. "One of the great milestones in the history of chemical literature. By common consent modern chemistry begins with this work 'which finally freed the science from its phlogiston chains and formed the starting point of its modern progress. It may be said to have done almost as much for chemistry as Newton's Principia did for physics' Zeitlinger. Lavoisier used the balance to demonstrate the weight of matter at every chemical change defined the terms element and compound explained combustion and the rusting of metals as a chemical combination with oxygen and through his concept of the conservation of matter developed methods of chemical analysis. The book contains the first list of twenty-three chemical elements and their compounds."-Neville II p. 21. Very good set. ❧ Cole 778. Duveen & Klickstein 157. Neville II p. 23. hardcover books

"An entirely different issue of the usual 'Seconde edition.' Deterville has reprinted the entire book with the errata corrected in the text and the plates re-engraved by Tardieu l'aine Rue de Sorbonne No. 385. In the original edition the engraver had been de la Gardette who incidentally engraved Lavoisier's book-plate. The half-title with the titre de relais is present as before. The remark which appears at the end of the prior issue 'Le Privilege du Roi se trouve aux Memoires de l'Academie Royale del Sciences' is here omitted." Duveen & Klickstein. This is Lavoisier's first major work. In this work on combustion and calcination which first appeared in 1774 Lavoisier first published his investigations into the nature and properties of gases in connection with numerous experiments and laid the basis of his antiphlogistic theory. Lavoisier gives a history of gases and a detailed account of his experiments. It was in this pioneer work that he broke ground that was new to him and asserted himself on an important question that was in controversy. The Opuscules one of Lavoisier's four major works resulted from his study on combustion and experiments with phosphorus and sulfur and the conversion of calces into metals. The work consists of a historical section and an introduction on gases; the second part describes his experiments dealing with the problems of combustion calcination and air fixation. "Although Priestley isolated oxygen it was Lavoisier who discovered its real significance. He showed the true nature of the interchange of gases in the lungs and exploded Stahl's phlogiston theory." Garrison and Morton. A native Parisian Lavoisier was one of the most important scientists of the 18th century. Because of his loyalty to the Ancien Regime Lavoisier fell into disfavor with the ruling National Assembly. He and his father were both arrested on 24 December 1793 tried on 8 May 1794 and executed by guillotine the same day. As the apocryphal story goes Lavoisier appealed at his trial for time to complete some scientific work at which the presiding judge replied "The Republic has no need of scientists." Authentic however is the remark attributed to Lagrange the day after Lavoisier's execution: "It took them only an instant to cut off that head and a hundred years may not produce another like it." The titre de relais reads: "Cet ouvrage a l'exception des tables fut imprime pendant la detention du citoyen Lavoisier. Il ne faut donc pas etre surprise si l'edition n'en est pas belle; on se rappelera sans peine qu'a cette epoque les matiepremieres manquoient pour l'impression." trans.: "This work with the exception of the tables was printed during the detention of Citizen Lavoisier. One should not be surprised if the edition is not beautiful; one will note without sorrow that this impression is without the errors of the first edition.".

1792One large folding printed table & six folding engraved plates. 2 p.l. 314 pp. 8vo cont. mottled calf foot of one joint repaired. Paris: Cuchet 1787. First edition second issue of one of the key books in the history of modern chemistry. Lavoisier's discoveries made a new and rational chemical nomenclature imperative. Initiated by Guyton de Morveau still an adherent of the phlogiston theory the project was taken up by Lavoisier who soon convinced Guyton of the truth of his system. They entered into collaboration with Berthollet and Fourcroy. The result of their combined efforts is contained in the present volume the most important milestone in the development of chemical nomenclature. The new nomenclature with only slight modifications is still the basis of the language of modern chemistry. In the second printing of the first edition the following pages are misnumbered: 241-56 instead of 257-72. Very good copy. ❧ Cole 566. Duveen & Klickstein 129.

FIRST EDITION second issue second printing with the flowered vase on the title-page previously a cherub and no colophon on page 314. Lavoisier's new terminology of chemistry was an important part of his reforms in the science and it has been in use with some modifications ever since its introduction. "The merits of the new nomenclature are even today more than evident since with only slight modification it is still the basis of the language of modern chemistry." Duveen & Klickstein pp. 119-126. Louis Guyton de Morveau was trained as a lawyer who taught himself the subject of chemistry. From 1776-1789 he taught public courses in chemistry at the Dihon Academy. He was professor of chemistry at the Ecole Polytechnique from 1794-1811 twice serving as its director.

1890BL4107Paris:: Felix Alcan 1890. 1890. Series: Bibliotheque Scientifique Internationale LXIX. 8vo. xii 334 ads. 2 34 pp. Frontispiece; lightly foxed. Original blind and gilt-stamped maroon cloth; heavily rubbed silver-fish trainings. Good . "In 1889 to celebrate the centenary of the French Revolution Berthelot . . . was called upon to commemorate men of science. He prepared material for a lecture on Lavoisier and on the basis of this and Grimaux's study of 1888 he produced a book La revolution chimique Lavoisier. One detects special sympathy by the patriotic nineteenth-century French chemist for the eighteenth-century liberal who had also used his scientific knowledge to help his country. Berthelot's publication of extracts from the laboratory notebooks of Lavoisier which were in the possession of the Academy performed a valuable service to the history of science. Whatever criticisms may be leveled at Berthelot's earlier publications on the history of chemistry this study was an astonishing achievement" – DSB vol. II p. 64. Felix Alcan, 1890. hardcover books
