Seconde édition revue, corrigée et augmentée, avec deux planches. Paris, Firmin Didot, an XIII (1804). 2 vols in 8vo. viii + 478p; [2]f +357+ [3]p including tables and publisher s advertisement. 2 folding plates with 10 illustrations engraved by Sellier after Girard at the end of volume II. Marbled endpapers. Contemporary quarter sheep, back-strip decorated in gilt with russet & green gilt-stamped title and number labels; corners & edges worn. The second French edition (first 1791) of this classic on dyeing prepared with the assistance of the au thor s son, enlarged by a section on bleaching with chlorine. Amédé Barthélemy, worked in a small lab oratory at Oberkampf s cotton printing factory in Jouy-en-Josas which gave him first-hand experience in dye substances, textiles and chemistry. The first volume contains chapters on the theory of colours and their distinctive properties, mordants, acids, the differences between wool, silk, cotton, linen and hemp, bleaching, washing, the different processes of dyeing and their chemical agents; the second volume comprises observations on dyeing in various colours, their properties, the fast colours indigo and madder together with a discussion of natural and chemically produced colours.

(London, Taylor and Francis, 1866). 4to. No wrappers as extracted from "Philosophical Transactions", Vol. 156 - Part II, pp. 399-439. 2 Textillustrations. Firat appearance of a groundbreaking paper in physical chemistry in which Graham describes the fundamental mechanism for gas transport across a polymer membrane. The mechanism is known as solution-diffusion model, and postulates a three-step process for gas transport through a polymer.

Band. In "Annalen der Chemie und Pharmacie. Hrsg. und Redigiert von Friedrich Wöhler, Justus Liebig und Hermann Kopp", VIII. Supplementband. Pp. (4),392 pp. (entire volume offered). 2 small stamps on title-page. Mendelejeff's paper pp. 133-229, 2 (periodic) tables on p. 149 a. 151. Internally fine and clean. First printing of the first German translation of this milestone paper, ONE OF THE GREAT CLASSICS OF CHEMISTRY, in which Mendelejeff first coined the word "periodic", and in which he, for the first time, presented his great discovery of the periodicity of the elements in its full and complete form. At the same time the paper is the first to present his discoveries in a western language. In the paper he described and predicted the properties of a number of undiscovered elements - three of them were discovered in his lifetime. His periodic table was more complete than any of the preceding ones, and more thoroughly founded on experiment. The periodicity of the elements he himself formulated as "Elements placed according to the value of their atomic weights present a clear periodicity of properties."The offered paper is the German translation of his paper which was issued in "Journal of the Russian Chemical Society", vol. 3, pp. 25-56, the same journal in which he first announced his discovery (vol. 1, pp.66-77 (1869) )."In March 1871, two years after his discovery of the law, Mendeleev first named it "periodic". That summer he published in Justus Liebigs Annalen der Chemie his article "Die periodische Gesetzmässigkeit der chemischen Elemente." - the paper offered - which he later characterized as "the best summary of my views and ideas on the periodicity of the elements and the original after which so much was written later about this system. This was the main reason for my scientific fame, because much was confirmed - much later."(DSB IX, p. 289-90)"Lothar Meyer and Dimitri Mendeleev independently discovered the periodic system, but "Meyer did not publish this work until after the appearance of Mendeleev's first paper on the subject in 1869. His table was very similar to that of Mendeleev, but it contained some improvements and was, perhaps, influential in causing some of the revisions made by Mendeleev in the second version of his table, published in 1870. In general, Meyer was more impressed by the periodicity of the physical properties of the elements, while Medeleev saw more clearly the chemical consequences of the periodic law."(Source Book in Chemistry, p. 434).Horblitt, "100 Books famous in Science" (the Russian paper 1869) No 74. - Dibner, "Heralds of Science" No 48 (only the later book of 1891) - Partington IV: pp. 891-897. - Source Book in Chemistry pp. 442 ff. - PMM: 407 (under Moseley). - Neville "Historical Chemical Library" II: p. 162 (only the French edition from 1879).
