Mendeleev originally wrote Osnovy Khimii to provide a text for his lectures. The book's chapters include discussions of the relation of atomic weights to the physical and chemical properties of elements. It was only shortly before publication that Mendeleev Osnovy Khimii that Mendeleev realized how to group the elements according to the principle of atomicity. This happened after Mendeleev had been appointed to the chair of chemistry in the University of St. Petersburg. Finding there was no book he could recommend to his students as a text for his lectures, he set out to write his own, deriving his basic plan from Gerhardt's theory of types, whereby elements were grouped by valence in relation to oxygen. BOOK DETAILS: Royal 8vo, cont. cloth (probably original) with leather label on spine; soiled on covers including cup ring but VG internally. This 6th Edition is nearly a reprint of the considerably expanded 5th Edition (1889), includes some revised footnotes and also includes Mendeleev s first printed commentary on the Rayleigh-Ramsay discovery of Argon. This is a very significant problem for Mendeleev since Argon s atomic weight is virtually identical to that of Calcium and there is simply no room for it in the periodic table. Mendeleev suggests it might actually be N3. The 2nd English edition (1897) is the translation of this 6th Russian Edition. RARITY: The Girolami/Mainz catalogue cites eight copies documented by WorldCat and KVK as well as this copy, the copy of Girolami/Mainz and one offered by Henry Sotheran Ltd in 2014 for 2,750 pounds sterling ($4,625). Interestingly, no copies of this edition have come up for auction in the last century (RBH). PROVENANCE: From the Arthur C. Greenberg Chemistry History Library.

Hardcover. Condizione: Good. No Jacket. 1st Edition. Large 8vo. First Edition of Mendeleev s translation of Charles Gerhardt and Gustave Chancel's book Prà cis d'Analyse Chimique Qualitative (Second Edition, Paris, 1862; see Bolton p 476). Original ½ leather over textured cloth boards, very worn, printed spine title faded but clearly visible: vi, 547 pp, includes 149 woodcuts as well as tables; first blank, title page and first leaf of contents table missing small section upper right corner from scorching but not affecting text. From Gregory S. Girolami and Vera V. Mainz Collection of Rare Books in Science: Although through most of the book figures and figure numbers correspond to those in the 1862 French edition, there are departures (e.g. Figures 41a-e after Figure 41 and Figure 42 matching the 1862 edition). There are more departures toward the end. Most striking is that the Mendeleev translation ends without the Appendix on spectrometry in the 1862 French edition. In its place the Mendeleev translation expands the crystallography section including extra woodcuts. RARITY: This book is extremely rare. Unfortunately, many Russian books did not survive in the country after the 1917 Revolution. Worldcat and KVK list three copies of this book: National Library of Israel, Helsinki University, and National Research Council of Canada in addition to copies in the Giralomi/Mainz collection and this one (from the Arthur C. Greenberg History of Chemistry Library). Light foxing but overall G. Vera Mainz (Preceptors in Chemistry, ACS, 2018): "Dmitrii Ivanovich Mendeleev (1834-1907) is best known for his discovery in 1869 of the periodic law of the chemical elements, leading to the concept of the periodic table. Many, including Mendeleev, ascribe this discovery to his work in writing a general chemistry textbook for the Russian student, Osnovy khimii or The Principles of Chemistry. What is less well known is that the Principles was one of several chemistry textbooks Mendeleev wrote for a Russian audience. Among these were Organicheskaia Khimiia (1861), an organic chemistry textbook, and Analiticheskaia Khimii (1864), a translation of Charles Gerhardt and Gustave Chancel's Prà cis d'analyse chimique qualitative (1862), both of which appeared prior to the publication of the Principles. More than anyone else, Mendeleev brought the modern chemistry textbook written in the Russian language to Russia." (DOI: 10.1021/bk-2018-1273.ch008).

Hardcover. Condizione: Fine. MENDELEEV, Dmitri Ivanovich. "Versuch eines Systems der Elemente nach ihren Atomgewichten und chemischen Functionen" (An experiment on a system of elements based on their atomic weights and chemical similarities) in "Journal fur Praktische Chemie", Leipzig, Barth, 1868-1869, volume 105 and 106 bound together; xi,520;xi,508pp (1 plate). Newly rebound in leather-backed marbled boards, with new endpapers. The work is very stout and sturdy, and the binder has also done an excellent job in "antiquing" the volume so that it doesn't look perfectly new, though it certainly is. There are a few ownership stamps on the title page. Lovely copy. [++] "Mendeleev, first of all, is the undisputed champion of the periodic system.although he was not the first to develop a periodic system, his version is the one that created the biggest impact.his name is invariably and justifiably connected with the periodic system.as Darwin's name is synonymous with the theory of evolution and Einstein's with the theory of relativity."--Eric Scerri, The Periodic Table, its Story and Significance, Oxford 2007, p 101. [++] "Mendeleev's mature periodic system first appeared in print in 1869 in the Russian [in the "Zhurnal Russkogo Khimicheskogo Obshchestva" 1, no. 2-3 (1869), 35, 60-77] chemical literature, and a German abstract [the paper offered here] of the article appeared in the same year."--Eric Scerri, pg. 144. [++] This paper the first in a trio of papers that appeared in 1869--is almost not even an abstract, sharing about half the page with two other papers, though it does show the monumental thing, which are 66 elements arranged in columns by increasing atomic weight, and "noting recurring chemical properties across them".--Wikipedia (History of the Periodic Table). [++] Take notice of what would become famous predictions of Mendeleev for the expected atomic weights of yet-unknown elements, identified as question marks ("?=68 and "?=70") which would be gallium and germanium, to name two. (There are btw some slight differences between the Russian 1869 table and the German abstract of that paper later that same year. ALSO, the first English language translation of the Mendeleev tables appeared in "Science News" in 1871".

INTRODUCING THE PERIODIC TABLE TO THE WESTERN WORLD: FIRST EDITIONS OF TWO KEY PAPERS RELATING TO MENDELEEV'S DISCOVERY OF THE PERIODIC LAW-ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT DISCOVERIES IN MODERN CHEMISTRY. One of the most consequential scientific discoveries of the last 150 years was Dmitri Mendeleev's realization that if the chemical elements were listed in a natural order (originally by atomic weight, and later by atomic number), then the list could be broken down into rows and displayed in the form of a table in which the elements within each column of the table had similar chemical properties. The resulting tabular display of the elements is now known as the periodic table. Mendeleev explained the ability to construct such tables in terms of a general principle that chemical properties change periodically as one moves along the ordered list of elements. This insight had an important immediate consequence: it facilitated the identification of gaps in the list of known elements, and enabled chemists to predict the properties of the elements that would later be discovered to fill those gaps. Even more importantly, periodicity stimulated other theoretical advances. As E.R. Scerri notes: "Whenever scientists are presented with a useful pattern or system of classification, it is only a matter of time before they begin to ask whether there may be some underlying explanation for the pattern. The periodic system is no exception." (The Periodic Table, p. xix). Thus, the periodicity of element's chemical properties found a natural explanation in Bohr's 1913 proposal of a "quantum" model of the atom in which electrons were arranged in concentric "shells," each with a characteristic fixed size. As atomic number increased, so did the number of electrons in an atom. The additional electrons were added to the outermost shell one-by-one until it was full, and then they began occupying a new outer shell. The atoms of chemically similar elements were postulated to have the same number of electrons in their outer shells. In turn, that insight led to later developments in quantum theory-such as the Pauli exclusion principle and the spin-statistics theorem-which provided an explanatory framework for, and refined, Bohr's "shell" model. Like all prescient discoverers, Mendeleev stood on the shoulders of giants. The organization of the elements into groups with similar properties goes back to at least the eighteenth century, and some chemists had experimented in the 1860s with tabular arrangements of elements listed in order of increasing atomic weight (see Edward G. Mazurs, Graphic Representations of the Periodic System during One Hundred Years, ch. 1). Lothar Meyer, for example, drew a periodic table in 1868 but did not publish it. It was Mendeleev, however, who in 1869 announced the periodic law as the natural principle underlying such tables: "Mendeleev] is by far the leading discoverer of the [periodic] system. Although he was not the first to develop a periodic system, his version is the one that created the biggest impact on the scientific community at the time it was introduced and thereafter. His name is invariably and justifiably connected with the periodic system, to the same extent perhaps as Darwin's name is synonymous with the theory of evolution and Einstein's with the theory of relativity. "Although it may be possible to quibble about certain priority aspects of his contributions, there is no denying that Mendeleev was also the champion of the periodic system in the literal sense of propagating the system, defending its validity, and devoting time to its elaboration." (Scerri, The Periodic Table, p. 101). Mendeleev's discovery was initially announced in a paper read before the Russian Chemical Society in St. Petersburg in 1869, and published the same year in the Journal of the Russian Chemical Society (Zhurnal russkago khimicheskago obshchestva). However, it is the two works offered here that put the discovery before the eyes of chemists.

Folio. Autograph manuscript. 24 ff., some leaves written on both sides. Revised by the author throughout. Stored in custom-made blue half morocco solander case. The original manuscript of Mendeleev's speech on "The Oscillation of the Balance", delivered at the General Meeting of the 10th Congress of Russian Naturalists in Kiev (August 1898). In his annotated bibliography of his own works, self-compiled in 1899, Mendeleev writes: "Predmet schitaju ochen' vazhnym i interesnym" ("A subject I find very important and interesting"). After the end of his teaching career at the University of St. Petersburg in 1890, Mendeleev was variously employed by the government bureaucracy. From 1892 on he was "concerned in the regulation of the system of weights and measures in Russia, a task that he discharged 'with enthusiasm, since here the purely scientific was closely interwoven with the practical.' In 1893 he was named director of the newly created Central Board of Weights and Measures, a post which he held until his death, and in connection with which he frequently traveled abroad" (DSB IX, 292). - "The great importance of Mendeleev's work", write Kayak and Smirnova, "was that in his approach to the development of the theory of balances and methods of accurate weighing he took into account the physical essence of the phenomena investigated, whereas many investigators before and even after him attempted to solve all the problems on the basis of purely mechanical conceptions [.] Mendeleev's interest in balances as the most important instrument in physical and chemical investigations was manifested from the very beginning of his scientific work. Long before his move to the Depot of Standard Weights and Measures he devoted much attention to the perfection of balances, and methods of accurate weighing. In 1861 Mendeleev succeded in observing the oscillations of balances from a distance, thereby eliminating the influence of the heat radiated by the observer on the balance; he also proposed the use of a heat distributor made of copper for a balance beam. Mendeleev's most important work on the development of the theory of balances and methods of accurate weighing was made at the Principal Bureau of Weights and Measures, where he took upon himself the entire responsibility for organizing and equipping the weight laboratory" (p. 25). - Occasional insignificant edge defects, but altogether a very well preserved manuscript.
