First German printing - printed simultaneously with the English and Swedish version - of the paper in which Berzelius described his discovery of Thorium the first element after Uranium to be identified as such. In 1829 Jöns Jakob Berzelius of the Royal Karolinska Institute Stockholm extracted thorium from a rock specimen sent to him by an amateur mineralogist who had discovered it near Brevig and realised that it had not previously been reported. The mineral turned out to be thorium silicate and it is now known as thorite. Berzelius even produced a sample of metallic thorium by heating thorium fluoride with potassium and confirmed it as a new metal. He called the black mineral thorite in honor of the Scandinavian god Thor.Parkinson "Breakthroughs" 1829 C. unknown

Some brownspots. First printing of Faraday's famous letter to Gay-Lussac in which he claim to be the discoverer of electro-magnetic induction analysed the results of the Italian philosophers pointing out their errors and defending himself from what he regarded as imputations on his character. The style of this letter is unexceptionable for Faraday could not write otherwise than as a gentleman; but the letter shows that had he willed it he could have hit hard. The letter was later translated into English and published in "Philosophical Magazine" in 1840 under the title "On Magneto-electric Induction"."In 1831 seemingly out of nowhere came the discovery of electromagnetic induction and the beginning of the experimental researches in electricity which were to lead Faraday to the discovery of the laws of electrochemistry specific inductive capacity the Faraday effect and the foundations of classical field theory."

First apperarance of this paper constituting the first reliable account of colour blindness.Usually Goethe or John Dalton - Huddart's case was cited in Dalton's paper of 1794 - is supposed to have discovered colourblindness. However the English oculist Joseph Huddart was the discoverer of this phenomenon. The first physiological explanation of it does come from Goethe.Garrison & Morton: 5832. unknown

Boisbaudran's paper: pp. 322-324. First apperance of the paper in which Boisbaudran revealed his discovery of a new earth that precipitated had a unique spectrum. De Boisbaudran named it samaria after the mineral from which it was derived. The mineral samarskite is named for a Russian mining engineer and Chief of Staff - Corps of Mining Engineers Colonel Vasili Evgrafovich Samarsky-Bykhovets."Samarium was discovered by French chemist Paul Émile Lecoq de Boisbaudran in 1879. He noticed in his research that impure didymium praseodymium and neodymium with other impurities seemed to contain more than just didymium based on spectroscopic work on various rare-earth minerals. When Lecoq de Boisbaudran added ammonium hydroxide to a concentrate prepared from the mineral samarskite he observed a precipitate that formed before the didymium Weeks and Leicester 1968 p. 685.

Marignac's paper: pp. 578-581. First apperance of the paper relating Marignac's discovery of the rare earth Ytterbium Ytterbia."He began his study of the rare earths in 1840 when he was barely twenty-three years old. According to P.T. Cleve "Marignac's work on the rare earths is undoubtedly the most importent in this particular department of chemistry". In 1878 marignac heated some erbium nitrate obtained from gadolinite until it decomposed. When he extracted the resulting mass with water he obtained two oxides: a red one for which he retained the name Erbia and a colorless one which he named Ytterbia."
