The entire issue offerd. Balard's paper: pp. 337-84. First printing of Balard's famous memoire in which he records his discovery of the new element Bromine le brôme. While he was studying the flora of a salt marsh he notized a deposit of sodium saulfate which had crystallized out in a pan containing mother liquer from common salts. "In an attempt to find a use for the waste liquers he performed a number of experiments and notized that when certain reagents were added the mother liquer bacame brown. His investigation of this phenomenon.ked to the remarkable discovery.Weeks p. 264."The discovery of a new chemical element by a young and obscure provincial pharmacist caused a sensation in Paris. Balard's achievemnt was recognized by the Academie des Sciences and he was awarded a medal by the Royal Society of London."DSB I p. 416."The discovery of bromine is a very importent acquisition to chemistry and gives M. Balrad honorable rank inthe career of the sciences. We are of the opinion that this young chemist is every way worthy of the encouragement of the Academy and we have the honour to propose that his memoir shall be printed in the "Recueil des Savants Étrangers" The report from the French Academy signed by Vaugelin Thenard and Gay-Lussac. unknown

Some scattered brownspots. First German translation of Davy's announcement the announcement on 1 page of his discovery of the unusual anaesthetic effects of nitrous oxide which on being inhaled gave rise to a giddy intoxicated feeling. On announcing his discovery he says that he will publish a paper discribing the experiments with the gas later. This is the paper offered here also in the first German version. Both the announcement and the paper were issued in the "Annalen" the same year as they appeared in Nicholson's Journal.The gas was first synthesized by English natural philosopher and chemist Joseph Priestley in 1772 who called it phlogisticated nitrous air."Following Priestley's discovery Humphry Davy of the Pneumatic Institute in Bristol England experimented with the physiological properties of the gas such as its effects upon respiration. He even administered the gas to visitors to the institute and after watching the amusing effects on people who inhaled it coined the term 'laughing gas'! Davy even noted the anaesthetic effects of the gas: "As nitrous oxide in its extensive operation appears capable of destroying physical pain it may probably be used with advantage during surgical operations in which no great effusion of blood takes place".Wikipedia."Davy discovered the anaesthetic properties of nitrous oxide and suggested its use during surgiical operations a suggestion which was not turned to useful account until 1844."Garrison & Morton 5646 not mentioning the announcing of its discovery in 1799. unknown

Ransay & Travers' paper: pp. 405-408. First appearance of the paper in which Ramsay and Travers announced their discovery of a new element which they named "krypton" meaning hidden."Dr. William Hampson presented them Ransay & Travers with about a liter of liquid air which they used not for liquefying the argon but for obstaining sufficient skill in manipulation so that they would not risk loosing their precious fifteen liter of argon.The residue left after most of the liquid air had boliled away consisted largly of oxygen and nitrogen which Ramsay and Travers temoved with red-hot copper and magnesium. .they then examined the twenty-five cibic centimeters of residual gas and when they found it to be inerst they immediately placedit in a Pl'ucker tube connected to and induction coil and observed its spectrum. There was a bright yelælow line with a greener tint than that of the helium line and a brilliant green line that did nor coincide with any line of argon helium mercury or hydrogen. They discoverede this gas on 30 May 1898 and named it 'krypton'.they found that it belonged between bromine and rubidium in the periodic table and so great was their excitement that the younger chemist almost forgot about his examination for doctor of sciwence which had been schedules for the next day."Weeks p. 267.Parkinson "Breakthroughs" 1898 C. unknown

Htitle to vol. 55 present. Robiquet's paper: pp. 152-171. First appearance of Robiquet's first chemical paper in which he relates his discovery of asparagine by analysis of asparagus juice the first amino acid to be discovered. The following year he made the first isolation of this amino acid together with Vaguelin. Pierre Jean Robiquet was a French chemist who laid founding work in identifying amino acids the fundamental bricks of proteins through recognizing the first of them asparagin in 1806 in the take up of the industry of industrial dyes with the identification of alizarin in 1826 and in the emergence of modern medications through the identification of codeine in 1832 a powerful molecule today of widespread use with analgesic and antidiarrheal properties. unknown

First appearance of the paper in which Wollaston announced his discovery of the metallic element Rhodium."Dr. Wollaston dissolved a portion of crude platinum in qgua regia and neutralized the excess acid with caustic soda. He then added salammoniac to precipitate the platinum as ammonium chloroplatinate and mercurous cyanide to precipitate the palladium as palladium cyanide. After filteringoff the precipitate he decomposed the excess mercurous cyanide inthe filtarate by adding hydrochloric acid and evaporating to dryness. When he washed the residue with alcohol everything dissolved except a beautiful dark red powder which proved to be a double chloride of sodium and a new metal which because of the rose color of its salts Dr. Wollaston named 'Rhodium'. He found that the sodium rhodium chloride could be easely reduced by heating it in a current of hydrogen and that after the sodium chloride had been washed out the rhodium remained as a metallic powder. he also succeeded in obtaining a rhodium button."Weeks: Discovery of the Elements. p. 104-05. unknown
