Traité Élémentaire De Chimie. Présente Dans Un Ordre Nouveau Et D’Après Les Découvertes Modernes.

thl51Paris: Cuchet 1789. First Edition Second Issue of â€œone of the most important books in the history of chemistry 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 as for chemistry as Newtonâ€™s â€˜Principiaâ€™ did for physics.â€ Zeitlinger quoted in Duveen Lavoisierâ€™s â€˜TraitÃ©â€™ â€œwas a decisive move in the final overthrow of alchemy and the phlogiston theory introduced by Stahl a century earlier. By the use of the balance of weight determination at every chemical change and the building of a rational system of elements Lavoisier laid the foundation of modern chemistry. He introduced a modern definition of element and compound explained burning and rusting as a chemical combination with oxygen and included emission and absorption of heat in his chemical system. His concepts of the principles of the indestructibility and conservation of matter guided him in formulating his methods of organic analysis.â€ Dibner This edition contains tables and several excerpts from the records of the Academy of Sciences not included in the first edition of which only two copies are known.

Resultats extraits d'un ouvrage intitule: de la richesse territoriale du royaume de France.

1819123040Paris: Madame Huzard 1819. Second edition first 1791 of Lavoisier's most important contribution as an economist "a milestone in the history of economic science and national statistics and accounting" Poirier p. 266. The work was reprinted after the Terror to which Lavoisier famously fell victim in Collection de divers ouvrages d'Arithmétique politique 1797. "De la richesse territoriale. de France which was printed in 1791 by order of the National Assembly constitutes an extract from a larger work on which Lavoisier had been engaged since 1784 in an effort to complete and verify an analysis of national income undertaken by Dupont de Nemours. Lavoisier's main argument is that the monetary valuation of national income from different sources leads to double counting; that the only method exempt from such difficulties is that based on an estimate of annual consumption since exports and imports in France balance one another; and that in estimating consumption allowance must be made for the variation in the budgets of different social classes. Thus he estimated that the annual per capita income of the poorest families is from 60 livres to 70 livres but he set the value of average per capita income at 110 livres a figure admittedly similar to that of Quesnay in his Philosophie rurale 1763. The net national income computed by estimating the net revenue in the various branches of agriculture he put at only 1200000000 of which half goes to the treasury in the form of taxes and the rest constitutes the landowners' rent" ESS p. 200.

Opuscules Physiques et Chimiques. Seconde edition.

1801S14204Paris :: Deterville An IX 1801. 1801. 8vo. 197 x 122 mm xxx 2 443 pp. Three folding engraved plates. Speckled edges; paper flaws in K2 and O5 affecting text. Quarter-bound in 19th century half calf over brown marbled boards raised bands gilt-stamped title and gilt-rules on spine. Housed in a custom folding chemise and red quarter morocco and cloth slipcase raised bands gilt rules and gilt-stamped titles; light shelf wear. PROVENANCE: Robert Honeyman's copy. 261 Second edition second issue. "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 bookplate. 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 half-title reads: "Cet ouvrage a l'exception des tables fut imprime pendant la detention du citoyen Lavoisier. Il ne faut donc pas etre surpris si l'edition n'en est pas belle ; on se rappelera sans peine qu'a cette epoque les matieres premieres 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. ".
