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 Swedish 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. A reprint is found in Ostwald's Klassiker der exakten Wissenschaften No. 35.According to Söderbaum 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."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.Parkinson "Breakthroughs" 1810-20 C. unknown

1660Best.-Nr. 505518Henry Hills and John Field 1660. Leather. VERY GOOD. 8vo 4.5 x 6.5.' Complete unpaginated: 1 A2-Aaa3 1 blank; ruled in red throughout title page with floral engraved border and centerpiece in contemporary green Morocco leather binding with gilt stamped spine with five gilt-ruled raised bands and flowers to all four corners and center of each compartment covers with single gilt rule and triangular dentelle all edges gilt; early 'Placard' marbled paper endpapers. Two owner's inscriptions the first in a very fine Old English hand 'S. R. Crowther' beneath a pen drawing of a lion; subsequent woman owner's inscription 'Hester Yates' also in a fine hand. Hinges very subtly repaired spine flexed at Hh Jeremiah with original tail band cracked an inherent vice endemic to tight-back bindings of the era some trivial rubbing to the leather; otherwise a very sound and handsome example of a period English binding. The King James Version is the possession of the British Crown and publication 'privileges' are granted to select few. One caveat is that there was seemingly no restriction on selling or lending these rights. 'On July 7th 1660 the University of Oxford farmed out their privilege to Henry Hills and John Field in consideration of an annual payment of £80' D&M Other privilege holders were quite disturbed by this arrangement and cried fowl at the particularly 'dangerous' error-ridden editions produced by Hills and Field.
