First printing of two importent papers, the first paper is Gerhardt's first work, having the same subject as his doctoral theisis, 1840. The second paperis a classic study in organic chemistry in which Gerhardt breaks with the conceptions of dualism and pre-existing radicals, and sets forth his ""Theory of Residues"". ""A new aspect was given to the substitution-type theory by Gerhardt, who explained the formation of organic compounds as due to ""pairing"" or ""copulation"" of residues.""(Findlay ""A Hundred years of Chemistry"" p. 30 ff).
