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.

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. <br /> <br /> 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in place of the hypothesized phlogiston which led many contemporaries to view the existing chemical terminology as outdated and confused. <br /> <br /> 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. <br /> <br /> The first edition itself there were two in 1787 is identified by the woodcut on the title page depicting a cherub supervising distillation.

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

thl53Paris: Cuchet 1787. First Edition First Issue of this important collaborative work which established the first systematic method of chemical nomenclature that is still in use today. “Originally suggested by Guyton de Morveau to eliminate the confused synonymy of chemistry and prefaced by a memoir of Lavoisier it emerged as a complete break with the past. In effect the scheme was based upon the new anti-phlogiston discoveries and theories…In a series of tables the ‘Nomenclature’ listed the elements substances non décomposées that is those bodies that had not been or perhaps could not be decomposed. Fifty-five in number these simple bodies included light and Lavoisier’s “matter of fire†now called “caloricâ€; the elementary gases: oxygen nitrogen azote and “inflammable air†now called hydrogen; carbon sulphur and phosphorus; the sixteen known metals; a long list of organic “radicals†i. e. accidifiable bases; and the as yet undecomposed alkaline earths and alkalis. Compounds were designated as chemists have done ever since so as to indicate their constituents." DSB VIII p. 80. Honeyman 1936. Neu 1791.

First edition of one of the most important works in the history of modern chemistry. Lavoisier’s discoveries brought about a critical need to develop a new chemical nomenclature. Its importance was first recognized by Guyton de Morveau an adherent of the phlogiston theory. De Morveau was invited to join a group of the leading anti-phlogistonists to discuss the possibility of applying his nomenclature to Lavoisier’s chemistry and in the process was converted to Lavoisier’s doctrines. The result of this collaboration of Bertholet Fourcroy de Morveau Lavoisier and others is contained in this volume and marks the foundation of modern chemical nomenclature.<br /> <br /> Cole Chemical Literature 1700-1860 566C under Guyton de Morveau; Duveen 126; Duveen & Klickstein p. 127; Norman 1291; see Printing & the Mind of Man 238; Sparrow Milestones of Science 125.

Half -circles squares triangles lozenges and circles in different positions and combinations which as they intended should make possible an immediate understanding of chemical substances and their nature the world over. Ingenious though their methods seemed this sign language proved unsatisfactory and it has long been discarded. 10 Rapport Sur les nouveau Caractères chimiques pp.288-312.
