‎Paris, Mallet-Bachelier, 1862. 4to. No wrappers. In: ""Comptes rendus hebdomadaires des séances de l’Académie des sciences"", Vol. 54, No 13, No 15 a. No 17. Pp. (749- 772, pp. (806-) 868 a. pp. (941-) 992. And vol. 55, No 15. Pp. (583-) 631. (4 entire issues offered). With htitle and titlepage to vol. 54. Titlepage with a stamp in upper corner of titlepage on verso, shown on recto. Béguyer de Chancourtois's papers: pp. 757-761, 840-843, pp. 967-971 and pp. 600-601.‎

‎First appearance of Chancourtois's historical paper in which he conceived a way to arrange the chemical elements in a periodic manner, years before Mendelejeff and Lothar Meyer. He arranged the elements on a cylinder in the order of atomic weight. This importent paper was never published in full, but only as abstracts as offered here. His principle of the periodicity of the elements remained unnoticed until the first communication (of April 7) was translated by P.J. Hartog in Nature in 1889 under the title ""A Foreshadowing of the periodic law"".""Generalizing further from Élie’s ideas, Béguyer formulated a method for classifying chemical elements based ""in the last analysis upon the distribution of these elements in the crust of the globe."" His scheme, a precursor of the periodic table, was put forth in ""Vis tellurique, classement des corps simples ou radicaux au moyen d’une système de classification helicoïdal et numérique"" (1862). The model for his theory was the ""telluric screw,"" a helical graph wound about a cylinder. The base of the cylinder was divided by sixteen equally spaced points, and the screw thread was similarly divided on each of its turns"" the seventeenth point was on the second turn directly above the first, the eighteenth above the second, and so forth. Each point was supposed to represent the ""characteristic number"" of some element that could be deduced from its physical properties or chemical characteristics. Actually, Béguyer used unit equivalent weights as characteristic numbers, following Prout, who made hydrogen the unit. These weights were derived by measuring the specific heat of each element in a manner suggested by Regnault."" (DSB).Parkinson ""Breakthroughs"" 1862 C.‎

‎SYSTEM DES TELLURISMUS ODER THIERISCHEN MAGNETISMUS. - EIN HANDBUCH FÜR NATURFORSCHER UND AERZTE; Erster Band [von 2]. - Mit 2 Kupfertafeln*. [. . . oder Tierischen Magnetismus' . . .]‎

‎Leipzig, bei F. L. Herbig, 1822. 1 unbedrucktes Blatt; XXX, 478 Seiten auf unbeschnittenem Papier; 1 unbedr. Bl.**. - Ohne Einband; 8vo.(ca. 23 x 14 x 3,5 cm).‎

‎*** 1. AUFLAGE; SELTENE ORIGINALAUSGABE; Vorsatzblattrückseite mit kurzem Namens- und wohl Preisvermerk aus dem Erscheinungszeitraum des Buches. - Deutliche Lagerspur aufgrund des augenscheinlich längeren Fehlens eines Einbandes (fragmentarischer Interimsumschlag aus Blättern eines Buches des späten 19. Jahrhunderts; möglicherweise war das Buch nie fest eingebunden): etwas fleckig-, erste und letzte Blätter stärker, viele Blätter außen mit Eckknick oder kleiner Eckfehlstelle, gegen Ende einige Blätter am Rand beschädigt; von den letzten beiden Textblättern und dem Nachsatzblatt ist jeweils nur die untere Hälfte vorhanden; die des letzten Textblattes ist zudem lose. Es fehlen auch die beiden Kupfertafeln mitten Buch, die hier möglicherweise nie eingebunden waren. Aufgrund der Bedeutung und Seltenheit 'irgendwie' noch akzeptables Exemplar.‎
