First edition.
Berzelius is the first to propose a system of classification of the elements by designating them by an abbreviation of their Latin name. It is the system of naming atoms that we always use (Au for Gold for example). He also proposed in his System of mineralogy in 1818 a beginning of classification of simple and compound elements. In this article he modifies his system taking into account Mitscherlich's recent work on isomorphic crystals and proposes a new classification according to the electronegativity of the elements.

We find in the same volume an article by Antoine Becquerel, "Investigations on the electrical effects of contact produced in changes of temperature, and application which can be made to the determination of high temperatures".

First observation of Piezoelectricity!
Abbé Haüy had already discovered a few years before the triboelectricity of crystals and pyroelectricity had been known since the middle of the eighteenth century but in this article he published for the first time his work on the production of electricity from crystals thanks to pressure ( simple finger pressure on an Iceland spar).
His work will then be continued by Antoine Becquerel then by Pierre Curie who will discover the piezoelectricity of quartz in 1880 and will theorize this field (Curie will also strongly question the observations of Haüy, attributing them to surface electricity). (Blondel, Haüy and electricity, Revue d'histoire des sciences, 1997).

In the same volume articles by Poisson, Laplace, Faraday and Sertürner with the first mention of the name of morphine.

French chemist, Nicolas LEMERY was born at Rouen on the 17th of November 1645. After learning pharmacy in his native town he became a pupil of C. Glaser's in Paris, and then went to Montpellier, where he began to lecture on chemistry. He next established a pharmacy in Paris, still continuing his lectures. Lemery did not concern himself much with theoretical speculations, but holding chemistry to be a demonstrative science, confined himself to the straightforward exposition of facts and experiments. In consequence, his lecture-room was thronged with people of all sorts, anxious to hear a man who shunned the barren obscurities of the alchemists, and did not regard the quest of the philosopher's stone and the elixir of life as the sole end of his science. Of his Cours de chymie (1675) he lived to see 13 editions, and for a century it maintained its reputation as a standard work.

Very rare booklet on chemical anaysis done in 1755 by Guillaume-François and Louis-Claude Cadet of a mineral water found in Passy by Mr and Ms. Calsabigi.

As the master of the distinguished chemists Lavoisier, Macquer, D'Arcet, Bayen, Venel, et al., as well as such nonscientists as Diderot, d'Holbach, Rousseau and Turgot, Rouelle occupies a very important place in eighteenth-century chemistry and science generally (see D.S.B.).
