First appearance of the six landmark papers in which Becquerel documents his discovery of Radio-activity PROMPTING THE NUCLEAR AGE.Becquerel was an expert in fluorescence and phosphorescence continuing the work of his father and grandfather. Follwing the discovery of X-rays by Röntgen Bexquerel investigated fluorescent materials to see if they also emitted X-rays. He exposed a fluorescent uranium salt pechblende to light and then placed it on a wrapped photographic plate.He found that a faint image was left on the plate which he believed was due to the pichblende emitting the light it had absorbed as a more penetrating radiation. However by chace he left a sample that had not been exposed to light on top of a photographic plate in a drawer. he noticed that the photographic plate also had a a faint image of the pechblende. After several chemical tests he concluded that these "Becquerel rays" were a property of atoms. He had by chace discovered radio-activity and prompted thee beginning of the nuclear age. He shared the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1903 with Marie and Pierre Curie. The "Becquerel Rays" were later discovered to be a composite of three forms of emanation distinguished by Rutherford as alpha beta and gamma rays.Dibner: 163 the later Mémoire from 1903 - PMM: 393 1903- Mémoire - Garrison & Morton: 2001 only the first paper. - Magie "A Sourve Book in Physics" p. 610 ff. - Norman:157. hardcover

Sobrero's paper: pp. 247-248. Clean and fine. First appearance of the paper in which Sobrero announced his discovery of nitroglycerin."When I think of all the victims killed during nitroglycerine explosions and the terrible havoc that has been wreaked which in all probability will continue to occur in the future I am almost ashamed to admit to be its discoverer." Sobrero"Nitroglycerin was synthesized by the chemist Ascagne Sobrero in the middle of the nineteenth century. When he tasted it as all good nineteenth century chemists did when they discovered a new compound it gave him what he called a migraine because of its vasodilatory effect which was later harnessed in the treatment of angina by William Murrell 1879 following the experience of a distinguished British clinician Lauder Brunton using amyl nitrite 1867 Later in the nineteenth century Alfred Nobel discovered how to stabilize nitroglycerin using kieselguhr diatomite clay; this led to highly successful industrial applications of dynamite and created the fortune that eventually funded the eponymous prizes. For medical purposes nitroglycerin was subsequently renamed glyceryl trinitrate to hide the fact that it was literally dynamite as well as metaphorically." unknown

Grignard's paper: pp. 1322-24. One leaf repaired in upper margin affecting the text on verso but without loss of letters. Light browning poor paperquality. First apperance of an importent paper in which Grignard revealed the "Grignard Reagent" an important means of preparing organic compounds from smaller precursor molecules. For this work Grignard was awarded the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 1912 jointly with fellow Frenchman Paul Sabatier."A large number of general synthetic methods had been developed by the end of the nineteenth century. However one of the most versatile and importent was first described as the new century opened. This was the Grignard synthesis." Leicester "A Source book in Chemistry 1900-1950" where this paper is translated "Some New Organometallic Compounds of Magnesium and Their Application to the Synthesis ofAlchohols and Hydrocarbons"."Grignard treated magnesium turnings in anhydrous ether with methyl iodide at room temperature preparing what came to be known as the Grignard reagent which could be used for reaction with a ketone or an aldehyde without first being isolated. On hydrolyzing with dilute acid the corresponding tertiary or secondary alcohol was produced in much better yield than Barbier had been able to obtain. Grignard’s discovery was reported in a short paper at a meeting of the Académie des Sciences in May 1900 the paper offered." DSB. unknown

Vauquelin's papers: pp. 21-32 a. pp. 194-204. Some brownspots to the first and last leaves otherwise fine and clean. First printing of the papers in which Vauquelin describes and announces his discovery of Chromium. The first paper was simultaneously printed in Mem.de l'Institut. Because of its many coloured compounds Fourcroy and Haüy suggested the name 'chromium' for the new metal. Greek chroma-colour.In 1797 Vauquelin began his own studies of Siberian red lead. He was convinced that the mineral contained a new element. None of the elements then known could account for his results. He reported "a new metal possessing properties entirely unlike those of any other metal." A year later Vauquelin was able to isolate a small sample of the metal itself. He heated charcoal nearly pure carbon with a compound of chromium chromium trioxide Cr 2 O 3 . When the reaction was complete he found tiny metallic needles of chromium metal.

Wurtz's paper: pp. 223-226. First appearance of the announcement of Wurtz's outstanding discovery of Liebig’s prediction that there might be organic compounds analogous to ammonia and derivable from it by the replacement of hydrogen - the amines. The entire memoir was not published in full until 1855 in 'Annales de Chimie et de Physique'.Wurtz is most noted for his investigation of glycols and for his discovery of the amines. The latter discovery in 1849 the paper offered was very significant at the time for ot suggested the possibility of a new type the ammonia type which helped to explain the behaviour of nitrogenous compounds.
