First edition.
Research of prime importance in which the authors experimentally measure the specific heats of many compounds which will allow them to deduce what will become the law of Dulong and Petit which links molar mass and heat capacity and the constant of ideal gases.

In the same volume another important scientific publication: Fresnel, Memoir on the action that polarized rays of light exert on each other. Major Fresnel work.
And a Fourier paper on insurances.
There are also articles by Breguet (precision of a tourbillon chronometer and astronomical measuring tool, the plate illustrating this invention is missing), Pelletier (discovery of strychnine).
