"Xerxes I 518�465 BC called Xerxes the Great was the fourth king of kings of the Achaemenid dynasty of Persia. Like his predecessor Darius I he ruled the empire at its territorial apex. He ruled from 486 BC until his assassination in 465 BC at the hands of Artabanus the commander of the royal bodyguard. Xerxes I is most likely the Persian king identified as Ahasuerus in the biblical Book of Esther. He is also notable in Western history for his failed invasion of Greece in 480 BC. His forces temporarily overran mainland Greece north of the Isthmus of Corinth until the losses at Salamis and Plataea a year later reversed these gains and ended the second invasion decisively." .

Berzelius's papers: pp. 249-337 a. 415-472.- Pp. 161-226. - Pp. 162-208 a. 235-330. � The papers represents one of the first announcements of Berzelius' discovery of the fixed chemical proportions determining the weights and valencies of the various constituent elements in inorganic compounds. The papers were published at the same time in German both here in Annalen and in Schweiger's Journal and in French. By running many hundreds of analysis of chemical compounds he gave so many examples of the law of definite proportions that the world of chemistry could no longer doubt its validity and in so doing he gave experimental evidence to the atomic theory. He hereby laid a solid fundation for the further development of chemistry.<br><br>According to S�derbaum Jac. Berzelius 2 p.12 "It was a giant work one of the most importent in the history of chemistry which was here presented. One is even more impressed when one remembers that it was a pioneer undertaking in every sense of the term. Analytic and synthetic methods existed before Berzelius' time to be sure but there were no precise methods of the sort which he required. They all had to be elaborated at the cost of time and labour."J. Erik Jorpes "Jac. Berzelius" p.45.<br><br>"In general Berzelius's efforts were directed toward the consolidation and extension of the atomic theory. He improved chemical analysis and determined the composition of a large number of compounds thus verifying the laws of constant and multiple proportions and furnishing the most accurate equivalent weights then available. By ingenious methods he arrived at the correct atomic composition of most common substances and thus was enabled to draw up in 1826 a table of atomic weights very nearly identical with the modern one."Leicester & Klicktein "A Source Book in Chemistry" p. 258.<br><br>Parkinson "Breakthroughs" 1810-20 C. unknown

Near contemporary annotations/description pasted on to verso of dedication-leaf. 4 576 pp. � The scarce first edition of Burckhardt's main work the groundbreaking work on the culture of the Renaissance which helped found the historical study of this previously much overlooked era. <br><br>" "The most penetrating and subtle treatise on the history of civilization" in Lord Acton's words "a mere essay" as Burckhardt himself called it "The Civilization of the Renaissance in Ittaly" has for more than a century determined the general conception of thirteenth- to fifteenth-century Italy." PMM p. 210<br><br>This classic of Renaissance historiography is of the greatest importance to the development of the history of the Renaissance and of history of art and culture in general. More specifically Burckhardt here establishes the fact that the Renaissance came first in developing the human individuality to the highest degree. He places the earliest signs of "the modern European Spirit" in Florence which was a great contributing factor to the comprehension of this city as representing one of the highlights of European culture.<br><br>The Swiss historian of art and culture Jacob Chrisoph Burckhardt 1818-1897 contributed seminally to the historiography of these two fields. He is considered the discoverer of the Renaissance and with his main work he founded the study of thirteenth- to fifteenth-century Italy and thereby the historical study of the Renaissance the society of which he dealt with all aspects of. <br>In general Burckhardt's works all constitute an original historical approach to the study of art culture social institutions etc. <br>As a highly respected scholar of Greek civilization Burckhardt with his original historiographical approach was highly admired by Nietzsche who also attended his lectures. The two kept in contact and corresponded frequently. Like Nietzsche Burckhardt was a great admirer of Schopenhauer and he greatly opposed the Hegelian interpretations of history.<br><br>". as in the case of other great historians such as Gibbon Ranke Macaulay no criticism of details can detract from the powerful spell which Burckhardt's book has exercised upon such widely different writers as Ruskin Nietzsche and Gobineau as well as upon innumerable lovers of the most magnificent period of European history."
