The history of its discovery was very complicated as some other laid claim to its discovery.Stromeyer was inspector general of apothecaries in Hannover. "In 1817 fulfilling the duties of his office he came across an apothecary's shop in which a bottle labeled zinc oxide contained zinc carbonate. Following this up Stromeyer found himself interested in zinc carbonate which turned yellow on strong heating as though it contained iron as an impurity yet it contained no iron. He traced the yellow to an oxide not of zinc but of a hitherto unknown metal rather like it chemically. He named it cadmium for a zinc ore in which it is usually found accompanying the zinc."Asimov.Weeks "Discovery of the Elements" pp. 135-39. unknown

"Aniline from the Portugese anil applied to indigo and derived from the Arabic an-nil the blue substance was first obtained by Unverdorben by heating indigo and was given the name 'crystalline'. In 1841 Carl Julius von Fritzsche 1807-71 an assistant to Mitscherlich and later a member of the Academy of Sciences in St. petersburg obtained the same compound from anthranilic acid which was produced by the action of caustioc alkalis on indigo and called it 'aniline'. in 1843 Hofmann showed that the three substances crystalline aniline and benzidam were identical with the base isolated from coal tar."Findlay "A Hundred years of Chemistry" p. 134.Parkinson "Breakthroughs" 1826 C.The volume contains other importent papers Antoine Jerome Balard "Ueber eine besondere Substanz im Meereswasser" in which he describes his discovery of the element BROMINE first German edition pp. 114-124 a. pp. 319-336.

The entire issue offered. Titlepage to vol. 27. Pp. 193-352 a. 1 engraved plate. Ångströms paper: pp. 290-302. First appearance in German of Ångström's famous paper in which he announced the discovery of hydrogen in the atmosphere of the sun and in which he also confirmed the probable existence of of other elements there. The paper appeared in "Oefversigt af K. Vet. Acad. Förhandl." in 1861. The German paper here is expanded. At the same time it was translated into English and publishe as "On the Fraunhofer Lines Visible in the Solar Spectrum".Ångström was one of the early formulators of the science of modern spectroscopy; he wrote extensively on terrestrial magnetism the conduction of heat and especially spectroscopy. He published a monumental map of the normal solar spectrum that expressed the length of light waves in units of one ten-millionth of a millimeter a unit of length now known as the angstrom. He discovered that hydrogen is present in the sun's atmosphere and he was the first to examine the spectrum of the aurora borealis. unknown

Entire volume offered. Braun's paper: pp. 556-563. First printing of Brown's importent paper in which he described his discovery of a semiconductor diode noting that electrical currents flows freely in only one direction at the contact between a metal point and a galena crystal."In 1874 Braun published the results of his research on mineral metal sulfides. He found that these crystals conducted electric currents in only one direction. This information was important in electrical research and in measuring another property of substances the electrical conductivity but Braun’s discovery did not have immediate practical application. In the early twentieth century the principle that Braun had discovered was employed in crystal radio receivers."DSB.The Nobel Prize in Physics 1909 was awarded jointly to Guglielmo Marconi and Karl Ferdinand Braun "in recognition of their contributions to the development of wireless telegraphy". hardcover

First printing of this milestone paper describing Plückers first observations on Cathode Rays which he called "the beautiful and mysterious green glow" and produced by discharges in tubes exhausted by means of the Geissler pump. These importent observations lead directly to Röntgens discovery of the Röntgen Rays."Cathode rays were first observed by Julius Plücker in 1859 the paper offered. They are rays which are found in the neighbourhood of the point of exit of an electrical current passing through a Geissler tube. These rays stimulated intense interest and experiment. William Crookes greatly improved these discharge tubes and intensified the degree of rarification of gases within them. The tubes in this form is known as Crookes tube. Crookes declared his conciction that the cathode rays represented matter in a fourth hitherto unobserved form.It was reserved for J.J. Thomson in 1908 to discover the true nature of the cathode rays."PMM no 386. unknown

Schmidt's paper: pp. 141-151 textillustr. A tear to inner lower corners of pp. 24-32. not affecting Schmidt's paper. Clean and fine. First printing of Schmidt's full exposition in which he describes his discovery of the radioactivity of Thorium. Schmidt and Marie Curie independently demonstrated the radioactive quality but Schmidt's demonstration took place a few months before Curie's. The discovery was announced but not described in full in a short message published in "Verhandl. d. Phys. Gesellsch. zu Berlin 1898."Schmidt made his discovery while examining "many elements and compounds" in an effeort to determine whether any of the rays that were emitted bore a resemblance to those that Henri becquerel had found emerging from uranium and uranium compounds. He located only one such element thorium and immediately conducted absorption ionization reflection refradction and poklarization studies to determine the characteristics of its rays. Having combined a misinterpretation of Becquerel's with one of his own Schmidt concluded that thorium rays most resembled Röntgen rays - a conclusion that soon required revisoln in view of the researches of Marie Curie and Ernest Rutherford."DSB XII p. 191. unknown

First appearance of this classic paper in organic chemistry in which Wöhler and Liebig showed how Amygdalin could be decomposed by a vegetable emulsion the first example of a glycoside."The conclusions which you have drawn from the investigation of bitter-almond oil" wrote Berzelius to Liebig and Wöhler "are certainly the most importent which have so far been reached in the domain of vegetable chemistry and give promise of shedding an unexpected light over this part of the science.The facts which you have set forth inspire such reflections that they may be regarded as the dawn of a new day in vegetable chemistry."Berzelius-Wöhler Briefwechsel."During the years that Liebig was preoccupied with the ether theory and with organic acids he also carried out two importent investigations with Wöhler. In october 1836 Wöhler wrote that he had discovered a way to transform amygdalin to oil of bitter almonds and hydrocyanid acis by distilling it with manganese and sulfuric acid and he invited Liebig to join in pursuing the topic. Two days later he made a more remarkable discovery. It had occurred to him that perhaps thetransformation of amygdalin could be effected by the albumin in the almonds in a manner similar to the action of yeast in sugar.Wöhler suspected that the decomposition was an example of what Berzelius had recently defined as catalysis. Liebig and Wöhler then divided up the detailed examination of the properties and composition of amygdalin. They precipitated from the emulsion of almonds a substance which when dissolved retain its action. They named the active substance "emulsion". Its effectiveness in very small quantities confirmed that it acted like yeast."DSB VIII p. 342. unknown

The entire issue offered. Henry's paper: pp. 282-312. First German version of Henry's description of his discovery of self-induction. He missed the credit for the discovery of induction to Faraday but he had done the key experiment ahead of Faraday but Faraday was the first to publish. But he is credited for the discovery of self-induction 1832 and Faraday discovered it independently two years later 1834."In Henry's paper however he explained thet the electric current in a coil can induce another current not only in another coil but in itself. The actual current observed in the coil is then the combination of the original current and the induced current. This is called self induction."Isac Asimov.The issue contains further notable papers Michael Faraday's "Vierzehnte Reihe von Experimental-Untersuchungen über Elektricität" § 2o-22. Nos 1667-1748. Pp. 249-281. First German version. In this paper FARADAYamplifies his theory of electrostatic induction by making further use of the analogy with the induction of magnetism. Whittaker describes the paper as having "THE FUNDAMENTAL EQUATION OF ELECTROSTATICS" as modified in order to take into account the effect of the specific inductive capacity."Whittaker I pp.187-89. unknown
