Light browning to the last leaves of the second work. � The scarce first edition of the work in which Steenstrup describes his discovery of the principle of 'ALTERNATION OF GENERATIONS'' sexual and asexual in plants and animals. <br>"Steenstrup showed that certain animals produce offspring which never resemble them but which on the other hand bring forth progeny which return in form and nature to their grandparents or more distant ancestors." Garrison & Morton No 217. A German translation was published the same year and an English in 1845. Norman 2009 German translation. <br><br>"The second major publication - the first dealing with geology - of 1842 was "Om Forplantning og Udvikling gjennem vexlende Generationsr�kker." the work offered Steenstrup's comprehensive presentation of the form of reproduction that he called 'alternation of generations' that is the alternation of asexual and sexual reproduction or metagenesis. This phenomenon had previously been described by Chamisso but Steenstrup included a greater number of observations based on a significantly wider range of subjects and provided an importent chapter on its meaning. Steenstrup's growing reputation won him an appointment as professor of zoology at the University of Copenhagen where he tought from 1846 until 1885."DSB XII p. 9. unknown‎

A beam of silver atoms is produced by letting silver evaporate in an oven with a small opening. The beam is collimated and travels in X direction until it falls on a glass plate. Between collimators and plate an inhomogeneous magnetic field is produced. It points in y direction and also changes its strength as a function of y.

But if spatial quantization exists with just two possible orientations then the beam will be split in two. Half the atoms are pulled in the positive and half in the negative y direction. It should be treated as a spinning top with a magnetic needle in its axis." Brandt.

Foxed. 8vo. Contemporary French full mottled leather binding, slightly worn at extremities. Manuscript of the first owner, a physician, (J. F.?) Coste. An important work on the medical properties and other aspects of hemlock, aconite, hyoscyamus, colchicum, etc. Before this publication, these plants were considered highly poisonous and had been rarely used in medicine owing to the difficulty of accurately estimating their doses and the danger this presented to the patient. Anton Storck, a 19-year-old Viennese doctor, in 1760 repeatedly sipped tea laced with hemlock, said to be the suicide drug of Socrates and believed in Storck's time to be beneficial against pain. The experiment so terrified Storck that he lost the ability to speak temporarily, but he suffered no lasting ill effects, and went on to publish this study. There is a direct line from Storck to the Americans Frederick Prescott and Scott Smith, who in the 1940s had themselves so paralyzed temporarily by curare that not even an eyelid could blink, thus demonstrating that the deadly poison could immobilize patients and revolutionize surgery. Throughout medical history researchers have served deliberately as guinea pigs because animal experiments can work only up to a point. Blake, p. 434; Waring 379.

Following this up Stromeyer found himself interested in zinc carbonate which turned yellow on strong heating as though it contained iron as an impurity yet it contained no iron. He traced the yellow to an oxide not of zinc but of a hitherto unknown metal rather like it chemically.

A tear to last 7 leaves. Internally fine and clean. Pp. 1387-1409. Entire issue: Pp. 8 1341-1575 2 XIV 1. � First printing of Szent-Gy�rgyi's landmark paper in which he for the first time discovered and isolated "hexuronic acid" or "ascorbic acid" today commonly known as vitamin C. In 1937 he was awarded the Nobel in Medicine "for his discoveries in connection with the biological combustion processes with special reference to vitamin C and the catalysis of fumaric acid".<br><br>"Szent-Gy�rgyi is most notably associated with the discovery of vitamin C. The discovery of vitamins themselves was recognized in 1929 in a Nobel Prize to Christiaan Eijkman and Gowland Hopkins. The search for vitamin C was then well underway in several labs. Ironically the compound had already been isolated by Szent-Gy�rgyi. Though no one-not even Szent-Gy�rgyi-yet knew its identity." DSB. <br><br>"In 1928 Szent-Gy�rgyi had proposed that hexuronic acid a highly reducing substance that he had isolated from oranges cabbages and adrenal glands was responsible for the anti-scurvy properties of fruit and vegetables that is that hexuronic acid was vitamin C. Zilva disagreed citing work that he had done showing that vitamin activity and reducing power were independent of one another. There the matter lay for four years until in 1932 Szent-Gy�rgyi carried out experiments to see whether hexuronic acid would protect guinea pigs from scurvy which it indeed did". Smith Nutrition in Britain P. 45. <br> <br>At the same time for five years King's laboratory at the University of Pittsburgh had been trying to isolate the antiscorbutic factor in lemon juice using the original 1907 model of scorbutic guinea pigs which developed scurvy when not fed fresh foods but were cured by lemon juice. They had also considered hexuronic acid but had been put off the trail when a coworker made the explicit and mistaken experimental claim that this substance was not the antiscorbutic substance. <br>Finally in late 1931 Szent-Gy�rgyi gave Svirbely formerly of King's lab the last of his hexuronic acid with the suggestion that it might be the anti-scorbutic factor. By the spring of 1932 King's laboratory had proven this but published the result without giving Szent-Gy�rgyi credit for it leading to a bitter dispute over priority claims.<br><br>Garrison & Morton 1059 unknown‎
