1804rif. 815London: Alexander Tilloch 1804. 1st Edition. BOUND FIRST EDITION OF A LETTER ON THE ATOMIC THEORY IN CHEMISTRY FROM JOHN DALTON to Alexander Tilloch founder of the journal in which this paper is published. Also included are papers of import by Gay-Lussac Biot and Cuvier. John Dalton 1766-1844 was an English chemist meteorologist and physicist best known for his pioneering work in the development of modern atomic theory the atomic theory in chemistry. "Dalton applied the Laws of Conservation of Mass and Definite Composition to explain his Atomic Theory. He developed the chemical theory in 1803 and told Thomas Thomson University of Edinburgh about it in 1804" Greenberg A Chemical History 172. This paper is Dalton's response to a conclusion the chemist and professor Thomas Thomson leveled regarding Dalton's Atomic Theory; specifically: in the 2nd edition of his influential A System of Chemistry Thomson wrote "that air is a chemical compound"; he then offered four reasons for his conclusion. Dalton believed that he had already well-proven "the absurdity of the notion of atmospherical air being a chemical compound of azotic and oxygens gases" Dalton On the Supposed 19 1804 p. 79. The object of the Dalton paper offered here then is to show the "insufficiency" of Thomson's four reasons; to do so Dalton debunks each of Thomson's four 'reasons' one by one. ALSO INCLUDED: An exceedingly rare first edition in English of Jean-Baptiste Biot's paper "Account of an Aerostatic Voyage" describing his landmark balloon ascent with Louis-Joseph Gay-Lussac. The scientific readings that Biot and Gay-Lussac took during their ascent established that the Earth's magnetic field extends into the atmosphere. "The ascent was notable in that it was undertaken entirely for scientific purposes. The primary purpose was to find whether the magnetic intensity of the earth decreased at great altitudes as had been suggested by Horace de Saussure's experiments in the Alps. From their experiments in which they timed the oscillations of a magnetized needle at various altitudes Biot and Gay-Lussac concluded that up to 4000 meters there was not change" DSB II p. 134-135. ALSO INCLUDED: "Osteological Description of the one-horned Rhinoceros" is the first English edition of the first part of an important paper by the celebrated zoologist and naturalist Georges Cuvier on the one-horned rhinoceros one-horned Indian rhinoceros; Rhinoceros unicornis. It has been said that Georges Cuvier possessed one of the finest minds in history. Almost single-handedly he founded vertebrate paleontology as a scientific discipline and created the comparative method of organismal biology an incredibly powerful tool. It was Cuvier who firmly established the fact of the extinction of past life forms. CONDITION & DETAILS: London: Alexander Tilloch. Complete volume. 8vo. 8.25 x 5.25 inches. 4 400 pages.

1810rif. 76297Paris, Imprimerie Impériale, 1810, in-8, XVI-394-[1] pp, broché, couverture d'attente, Édition originale de ce rapport qui couvre un large champs des sciences : Cuvier y traite de la chimie, de l'étude de la chaleur, de la lumière et de l'électricité et de l'histoire naturelle dans une acceptation large, couvrant la météorologie, l'hydrologie, la minéralogie, la géologie, l'anatomie, la physiologie, ainsi que la botanique et la zoologie. Le naturaliste souligne l'importance des travaux de Haüy dans le domaine de la cristallographie et repère deux révolutions majeures : celle que Lavoisier a opéré dans le domaine de la chimie et celle que Jussieu et lui-même ont initié avec la méthode naturelle de classification systématisée. "Les innovations techniques et médicales ne sont pas oubliées, mais sont considérées comme des applications des progrès scientifiques. À travers éloges des savants et explications didactiques des découvertes, Cuvier se fait un point d'honneur de reconnaître les apports étrangers. Cependant le souci de la gloire nationale fait bon ménage avec l'universalisme puisqu'il entend que la France impériale se distingue par son impartialité" (Drouin). Cette publication est parallèle à celle des rapports de Delambre sur les mathématiques (Rapport historique sur les progrès des sciences mathématiques) et de Dacier sur la littérature (Rapport historique sur les progrès de l'histoire et de la littérature ancienne), parus la même année et présentés au Conseil d'état : ces tableaux des progrès des sciences depuis 1789 avaient été prescrits par les Consuls le 13 ventôse an X et préparés par les ministres de l'Intérieur, Chaptal en 1803 et Champagny en 1807.

Bookplate in each volume of the Newburyport Public Library and dated in manuscript Jan. 8 1859 plus book label on the rear paste-down. First American edition of a landmark in the history of zoology and comparative anatomy the most comprehensive biological work since Linnaeus. “Cuvier’s valuable work represented the fruits of a lifetime’s study of living and fossil animals. In his day Cuvier exerted an enormous influence on science. He played a leading part in the development of the science of palaeontology and stimulated the study of comparative anatomy” G&M. “It is in his classification of the animal kingdom into four main groups Vertebrata Mollusca Articulata and Radiata that he is so notably succeeded in giving a lead that has been followed by all his successors. . .Cuvier was the first to apply analyses and comparison to the entire animal kingdom. He also saw that this homogeneity in an individual should enable a competent naturalist to reconstruct a complete animal from any significant part of its anatomy” PMM. G. & C. & H. Carvill unknown
