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".

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.
