‎First printing of this importent paper in the history of chemistry, in which the authors gave the first satisfactory account of of urea, which they named.""Hundreds of concretions from various parts of human and animal bodies were analyzed by Fourcroy and Vauquelin. Most were urinary calculi which, independently of Wollaston, they classified according to chemical composition from 1798 onwards.They confirmed the frequent presence of uric acid and phiosphate of lime (discovered in calculi by Scheele and Georg Pearson respectively) and also found urate of ammonia, the double phosphate of magnesia and ammonia, and occasionally other compounds....In an attempt to find why urinary calculi were formed, Fourcroy and Vauquelin investigated urine, and in 1799 they gave (in the paper offered) the first satisfactory account of ures, which hey named....(they) isolated it by recrystallization from alcohol, and in 1808, achieved a purer state by adding alkali to the crystalline nitrate that they had discovered.""(DSB V, p. 92-93).‎

He proposed the term 'helical' to denote the property of rotating the plane of polarization, exhibited by such bodies as quartz. The term 'natural rotatory polarisation' is however, generally used.‎

‎""Frémy’s first project was to continue Pelouze’s studies of iron oxides, and he expanded them to include oxides of chromium, tin, and antimony that form salts with alkalies in the same way as manganese. In 1835 he published a memoir in the Annales de chimie on the splitting of fats by sulfuric acid, a process that was adopted by French industry. From then on, Frémy pursued scientific investigations as professor and industrial work as consultant (later as administrator of the Compagnie de Saint-Gobin). He proposed improvements in the chamber process for making sulfuric acid (low temperature and ample air and water), and he introduced the residue from burning pyrites as the raw material for iron production. From research on the setting of hydraulic cement, Frémy proceeded to the synthesis of rubies by heating alumina with potassium chromate and barium fluoride.""(DSB).‎

‎"FRANKLAND, E. (EDWARD). - INTRODUCING ""VALENCY"" IN CHEMISTRY.‎

‎On a New Series of Organic Bodies containing Metals. Received May 10,- Read June 17,1852.‎

‎London, Richard Taylor and William Francis, 1852 4to. No wrappers as extracted from ""Philosophical Transactions"" 1852 - Part II. With titlepage to Part II., pp. 417-444, textillustr. Fine and clean.‎

‎First appearance of an extremely importent paper in the histroy of chemistry as Frankland here introduced the concept of 'VALENCY' - he called it 'atomicity' - to explain the capacity of atoms to combine with other atoms. ""This led not only to the Kekulé structures, but also to the periodic table of Mendeléev, since that table was based on the regular change of valence with atomic weight.""(Asimov).""On May 10 1852 Frankland read to the Royal Society a paper on organic metallic compounds (the paper offered) in which he made the emperical observation that elements possessed fixed combining powers, or ""only room, so to speak, for the attachement of a fixed and definite number of the atoms of other elements."" The expression ""valence"" or ""Valency"" began to be used by other chemists only after 1865, wheras Frankland tended to use the misleading term ""atomicity""....Frankland's teching position at the Royal College of Chemistry and his influence on the Department of Sciences and Art science examinations enembled him to spread the idea through the younger generation of British chemists.""(DSB V, p. 126).The exact inception, however, of the theory of chemical valencies can be traced to an 1852 paper by Edward Frankland, in which he combined the older theories of free radicals and ""type theory"" with thoughts on chemical affinity to show that certain elements have the tendency to combine with other elements to form compounds containing 3, i.e. in the three atom groups (e.g. NO3, NH3, NI3, etc.) or 5, i.e. in the five atom groups (e.g. NO5, NH4O, PO5, etc.), equivalents of the attached elements. It is in this manner, according to Frankland, that their affinities are best satisfied. (Wikepedia).‎

‎Recherches sur les Fluorures. Premier Mémoire.‎

‎Paris, Victor Masson, 1856. No wrappers. Extracted from: ""Annales de Chimie et de Physique"", 3e Series - Tome 47. Pp. 5-50. Textillustr. With titlepage to vol. 47. Some scattered brownspots.‎

‎First appearance of Fremy's importent paper on the isolation of fluorine, a historic paper in electro-chemistry. The existence of the element fluorine had been well known for many years (since 1813, Davy), but all attempts to isolate it had failed and some experimenters had died in the attempt.""The history of fluorine is a tragic record. Marggraf described hydrofluoric acid in 1768, and Scheele studied it three years later. Lavoisier..., thought that all acids contain oxygen, but Davy showed that this one does not. Ampere suggested to Davy that hydrofluoric acid must be composed of hydrogen and an unknown element. Poul Schutzenberger expressed the belief that this unknown substance, fluorine, would be found to be the most active of all elements, and correctly predicted some of its properties. Ti is this extreme activity of the element that made its liberation such a difficult and dangerous task and brought agony and death to some of the pioneer investigators.""(Weeks p. 266-67). ""An important step was made by Frémy, Moissan’s first mentor, when he succeeded in preparing pure, anhydrous HF and also KHF2, so-called Frémy’s salt, expressed ""KFl.HFl"" using the notations of that time. Frémy had come very close to finding the solution by electrolysing anhydrous HF, molten calcium fluoride or potassium fluoride, but he seemed not to have had the idea of replacing these compounds by KHF2, perhaps because of the high melting point of the compound, TF = 293°C, which would have led to insurmountable technical difficulties.""

‎First appearance of Gerhardt's first papers on the new concept of ""homology"", perhaps his most notable contribution to organic chemistry.""Gerhardt’s most conspicuous contribution to the developemfent of organic chemistry was his homologous series. His earliest publications were characterized by attempts to arrange organic compounds in series of increasing complexity: his ""ladder of combustion,"" rising from water and carbon dioxide at the foot to albumin and fibrin at the summit, was analogue of the biologists’ ladder of nature, another biological analogy was to underlie the application of his homologous series when they were refined in 1843: Gerhardt presupposed a principle of plenitude in organic chemistry which dictated that hitherto undocumented members of any series must exist. In addition, the concept of homology itself was of biological origin, deriving from Cuvier. For Gerhardt, however, it did not carry that structural connotation which it had for Cuvier. On this subject Gerhardt, simply asserted: ""We call substances homologues when they exhibit the same chemical properties and when there are analogies in the relative proportions of their elements.""

Small stamps on verso of titlepage and on verso of plates. In ""Annales de Chimie et de Physique"", 3me Series - Tome XXXVII. 512 pp. and 3 plates. (The entire volume offered). Gerhardt's paper: pp. 285-342. Light scattered brownspots.‎

‎First printing of an importent paper in which Gerhardt introduced the concept of ""type"" in organic chemistry in order to understand all substitution reactions.""Gerhardt adopted Laurent's nucleus, or unitary theory and combined it with the theory of types and radicals. In 1852 he discovered the anhydrides of organic acids and explained their structure by an extension of the water type of Williamson. He further proposed that all organic compounds could be related to one of four inorganic types: water, hydrogen, hydrogen chloride, and ammonia. These types could be used to explain most organic reactions as double decompositions. Since Gerhard felt that the formula of organic compounds never ecpressed the actual structure of the molecule, but only its reactions, he was satisfied with this theory and carried it no farther. However, it was a great advance in systematization and helped to bring order into the confused field of organic reactions.""(Leicester & Klickstein ""A Source Book in Chemistry 1400-1900"", p. 351.).""Gerhardt will occupy a permanent position in the history of Chemistry for his services to organic classification, for his concept of homology, for his preparation of acid anhydrides, and for his reform of equivalents.""(DSB V, p. 374).The volume contains further importent papers Marcelin Berthelot ""Sur la Bichlorhydrate D'Essence de Térébenthine"", pp. 223-230, by Arago, Edmond Becquerel etc.etc.‎

The extracts as offered here, from ""Annalen"" were published before they appeared in the Annalen der Curländischen Gesellschaft für Litteratur und Kunst.""This importent Grutthussian thesis was in time so completely forgotten that John William Draper, two years after the inventionof the daguerreotype, discovered the same law and entirely independently of Grotthuss (1841).
