First edition.
In 1821, he was commissioned by the French administration to define a practical method for accurately measuring the alcohol concentration of drinks. Gay-Lussac is developing a hydrometer graduated on the volumetric alcohol concentration. This gives the Gay-Lussac degree which corresponds to the percentage of alcohol in the wine for example. The law of 1824 on the taxation of alcoholic beverages uses his work. With Collardeau, a former student of the École Polytechnique, he became a manufacturer of scientific instruments and marketed his alcoholometer in 1830.

"A monumental work in which Berthelot "laid the foundation of thermochemistry" (Zeitlinger). His researches began a new epoch, and in this work he introduced the terms exo- and endo-thermic. Although a number of chemists before him had made contributions regarding the evolution and absoption of heat in chemical reactions, it was Berthelot whose experimental determinations cover almost the whole range of chemical reaction." ...

Du Feu et de quelques-uns de ses principaux effets. 

Lausanne, Mourer, 1787.

First edition.
Reynier makes "fire" in this work, an essential constituent of the material which ensures its cohesion.
His theory announces, following Lavoisier, the replacement of the phlogiston theory by the caloric theory.
Our modern gaze would find that by replacing “fire” with “energy”, Reynier demonstrates many interesting intuitions here. As such it is often cited by Bachelard in his “Psychoanalysis of Fire”.

Bound together, two rare works by Gottfried Schultz (1643-1698) based on the work of Johann Michaelis (1606-1667).

1. First edition of this work in wich Schultz focuses on the preparation and use of the Michaelis bezoardic dye. This preparation will be part of the pharmacopoeia until the second half of the eighteenth century.

2. First edition.
Work devoted to the preparation and use of cinnabar (mercury sulphide) in the pharmacopoeia. The author discusses the different forms of cinnabar, natural cinnabar, cinnabar of antimony, ...
It is Paracelsus who first popularizes the use of cinnabar in medicine with its antimony oil.
At the end we find an appendage devoted to magnetic plaster.

Few references of a medicine then strongly influenced by alchemical works.

Des Changemens dans le système de minéralogie chimique, qui doivent nécessairement résulter de la propriété que possèdent les corps isomorphes, de se remplacer mutuellement en proportions indéfinies. (publié dans Annales de Chimie et de Physique - Tome XXXI). 

Paris, Crochard, 1826.
More Details >
250 €

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".

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.
The 1756's edition (the first one in 4to) is considered by Dorbon and P.Larousse as the best one. The only difference with our edition (1757) is the title engraving which is without the artist signature.
