This was "the final step in the development of modern structural formulas for organic compounds." Leicester & Klickstein p. 417<br><br>"It was not till 1858 that a satisfactory theory of molecular constitution was advanced simultaneously and independently by thwo young chemists Friedrich August Kekul� and Archibald Scott Couper. The theory of molecular constitution put foreward.by Couper and Kekul� rested on two main postulates the quadriivalency of carbon.and the capacity of the carbon atom for mutual linking or combining together to form a carbon "chain". By this hypothesis of the mutual linking together of carbon atoms - which waslater confirmed by experiment - it was possible to explain the formation of organic compounds containing a large number of carbon atoms. On the foundation of their postulates two postulates moreover they showed how the molecular constitution or mutual linking together of the atoms of a compound could be represented diagrammatically and the relstions between different compounds made readily intelligible. In his classic paper "On a New Chemical Theory" the paper offered here in its first appearance advanced beyond Kekul� by representing the constitutions of the compounds by means of GRAPHIC FORMULA in which as at the present day the valencies pf the atoms are represented by lines.his formulae are similar to those at present in use."Findlay pp. 34 ff<br><br>"The theory of Kekul� and Couper gave the chemists the means of solving the problems of chemical constitution; and by means of the graphic or constitutional formulae it became possible to represent the molecular constitution of known compounds and to foresee the possible existence of isomeric compounds."Findlay.<br><br>Parkinson "Breakthroughs" 1858 C. - Ostwald's Klassiker No. 183. - Leicester & Klickstein "A Source Book in Chemistry" pp. 417-425. - Exhibition of First Editions of Epochal Achievements in the History of Science Berkeley 1934.

In the course of his studies on the preparation of sodium and potassium and their use as reducing agents in the manufacture of other metals Deville often used high temperatures.

Internally fine and clean. � First printing of these milestone papers in the history of chemistry where Berzelius introduced his famous chemical symbolism whereby an element is generally represented by the first letter of its Latin name or in the event of elements having the same first letter by the first two letters. Even though his atomic symbols were introduced in 1813 see the note on p. 359 in the first paper it was quite a few years before Berzelius's symbols were adopted by the chemistry community. But once accepted they became the new international language of chemistry.<br><br>Berzelius "contributed more to the development of the atomic theory and to the setting up of accurate values of the atomic weights than did any other worker of the time. Of his contributions moreover to the development of the atomic theory and the advancement of chemical science not the least valuable was the introduction of a chemical symbolism which with slight modification is in use at the present day. By giving his symbols a quantitative meaning - the symbol of an element representing one atomic proportion by weight - it was possible "to show briefly and clearly the number of elementary atoms in each compound and after the determination of their relative weights present the results of each analysis in a simple and easely retained manner". This symbolism was speedily adopted on the Continent but in England only after some considerable time."Findlay "A Hundred Years of Chemistry" p. 14.<br>Parkinson "Breakthroughs" 1813 C. - Leicester & Klickstein "A Source Book in Chemistry" p. 258 ff. - Holmberg 1813:28 a. <br><br>The volume contains other notable papers THOMAS THOMSON "On the Discovery of the Atomic Theory" pp. 329-338. and <br>JOHN DALTON "Remarks on the Essay of Dr. Berzelius on the Cause of Chemical Proportions" pp. 174-180 Vol. III. hardcover‎

This process of liquefaction of oxygene was achieved independently in the same year by Cailletet and Pictet using different methods. Cailletet used the Joule-Thomson effect; oxygen was cooled while highly compressed then allowed to rapidly expand cooling it further resulting in the production of small droplets of liquid oxygen. Pictet's method was more elaborate using compounds pumps.

The mixture was needed because hydrogen fluoride is a non-conductor. The device was built with platinum/iridium electrodes in a platinum holder and the apparatus was cooled to -50 �C. The result was to completely isolate the hydrogen produced from the negative electrode from the fluorine produced at the positive one.This is essentially still the way fluorine is produced today."

The papers were issued at the same time in "Annalen der Physik und Chemie".<br><br>"The conclusions which you have drawn from the investigation of bitter-almond oil" wrote Berzelius to Liebig and W�hler "are certainly the most importent which have so far been reached in the domain of vegetable chemistry and give promise of shedding an unexpected light over this part of the science.The facts which you have set forth inspire such reflections that they may be regarded as the dawn of a new day in vegetable chemistry."Berzelius-W�hler Briefwechsel.<br><br>"During the years that Liebig was preoccupied with the ether theory and with organic acids he also carried out two importent investigations with W�hler. In october 1836 W�hler wrote that he had discovered a way to transform amygdalin to oil of bitter almonds and hydrocyanid acis by distilling it with manganese and sulfuric acid and he invited Liebig to join in pursuing the topic. Two days later he made a more remarkable discovery. It had occurred to him that perhaps thetransformation of amygdalin could be effected by the albumin in the almonds in a manner similar to the action of yeast in sugar.W�hler suspected that the decomposition was an example of what Berzelius had recently defined as catalysis. Liebig and W�hler then divided up the detailed examination of the properties and composition of amygdalin. They precipitated from the emulsion of almonds a substance which when dissolved retain its action. They named the active substance "emulsion". Its effectiveness in very small quantities confirmed that it acted like yeast."DSB VIII p. 342. unknown‎

Couper's paper: pp. 1157-1160. A faint dampstain to right margins. � First appearance of this milestone announcement in organic chemistry - a longer memoir was published in "Annales de Chimie et de Physique" later in the same year 1858 - in which independently of Kekul� Couper introduces the CONCEPT OF BONDS represented as a dash or a dotted line in chemistry and also observes the very importent fact that carbon atoms forms the backbone of organic compounds.<br><br>"It was not till 1858 that a satisfactory theory of molecular constitution was advanced simultaneously and endependently by thwo young chemists Friedrich August Kekul� and Archibald Scott Couper. The theory of molecular constitution put foreward.by Couper and Kekul� rested on two main postulates the quadriivalency of carbon.and the capacity of the carbon atom for mutual linking or combining together to form a carbon "chain". By this hypothesis of the mutual linking together of carbon atoms - which waslater confirmed by experiment - it was possible to explain the formation of organic compounds containing a large number of carbon atoms. On the foundation of their postulates two postulates moreover they showed how the molecular constitution or mutual linking together of the atoms of a compound could be represented diagrammatically and the relstions between different compounds made readily intelligible. In his classic paper "On a New Chemical Theory" the paper offered here in its first appearance advanced beyond Kekul� by representing the constitutions of the compounds by means of GRAPHIC FORMULA in which as at the present day the valencies pf the atoms are represented by lines.his formulae are similar to those at present in use."Findlay pp. 34 ff<br><br>"The theory of Kekul� and Couper gave the chemists the maeans of solving the problems of chemical constitution; and by means of the graphic or constitutional formulae it became possible to represent the molecular constitution of known compounds and to foresee the possible existence of isomeric compounds."Findlay.<br><br>Parkinson "Breakthroughs" 1858 C. unknown‎

A small wormtract to upper margin of ab. 20 leaves no loss of letters. � First edition of the first volume of this very important journal founded by Lavoisier and his friends collaborating in establishing THE NEW SCIENCE of Anti-Phlogistic theory in chemistry. Crosland in "The two French Revolutions" and "The Imperial Despotism of Oxygen" claims that for a clear understanding of the CHEMICAL REVOLUTION THE NEW JOURNAL of ANNALES DE CHIMIE can be rightly considered as FUNDAMENTAL as the "Traite �lementaire de Chimie".<br><br>"A third and most important instrument was the establishment of a new scientific journal edited - and dominated - by the votaries of the "new chemistry". The first number of this journal of the Annales de chimie appeared in 1789 the year of the Revolution. Its editors were besides Lavoisier his early disciples - Guyton Berthollet Fourcroy and Monge - with the addition of three new recruits: the Strassbourf metallurgist the Baron de Dietrich Jean-henri Hssenfratz and Pierre Auguste Adet."DSB VIII p.81.<br><br>LAVOISIER'S paper on COMBUSTION pp. 19-30 contains his important interpretation of the phenomena of combustion in air making the fundamental distinction between burning and combustion. By this "Lavoisier gave to the study of chemistry a new life a new direction and a wider outlook." Alexander Findley.<br><br>"The Lavoisierian memoir on combustion of iron stood out among the large number of interesting papers discussed in the first volume of the "Annales". In his account Lavoisier sustained that in nature combustion without flames did occur. Thus he clarified the distinction between ordinary burning and combustion: an issue on which the majority of traditional chemists were confused. The need for accuracy and precision in laboratory practices was emphasised in his study as it was a means to determine quantities rather than assuming them."Angela Bandinelli in "Scientific Communication During a Major Change .Empirical Research: Annales de chimie vs Obs. sur la physique/ Journal de physique 1789-1803.<br><br>The volume furthermore contains important papers by: Adet Fourcroy 3 papers Berthollet 3 papers Chaptal Hassenfratz 5 papers Baron de Dietrich 2 papers Klaproth 2 papers Girtanner Dollfuss Bonz de Ettingen Crell De Morveau. unknown‎
