First edition of Priestley's landmark paper on pneumatic chemistry. In this present work, which marked an new epoch in the history of chemistry, he announced the discovery of hydrochloric acid and nitric oxide, as well as the discovery that plants restored air that had been vitiated by combustion, putrefaction, and respiration. Priestley's 'contribution to the knowledge of gases were crucial. He improved the technique for studying them by collecting them over mercury instead of water, so that many more gases could be observed.His many chemical discoveries contributed to the ""chemical revolution""' (PMM)""The paper here, for which the Royal Society awarded Priestley the Copley medal announced the discovery of hydrochloric acid and nitric oxide and the use of the latter in measuring the purity of air, which led through the work of Cavendish, Fontana and others to exact eudiometry. Priestley also observed that plants consume carbon dioxide and gave out oxygen, thereby purifying air which has been vitiated by combustion, respiration and putrefaction, and that this action takes place only under daylight."" (Printing and the Mind of Man No. 217).""In this paper he also announced two new gases that he had obtained - nitrous oxide and carbonic oxide"" these won him the Royal Society's Copley medal. Two years later his experiments in heating red oxide of mercury produced ""dephlogisticated air"" which was announced in 1775 and identified by Lavoisier as oxygen."" (Dibner Heralds of Science No. 40).The work contains a proposal to saturate water with carbonic acid under either atmospheric or increased pressure, which led to the creation of the mineral-water industry.The Centenary of the discovery of oxygen was celebrated at Priestley's American home at Northumberland, Pennsylvania, and was followed in 1876 by the foundation of the American Chemical Society.

First edition of this important tract, which marked an epoch in the history of chemistry. As it is Priestley's first extensive work on Gases, it foreshadowed his identification of Oxygen.""The paper here, for which the Royal Society awarded Priestley the Copley medal announced the discovery of hydrochloric acid and nitric oxide and the use of the latter in measuring the purity of air, which led through the work of Cavendish, Fontana and others to exact eudiometry.

Edition originale française très appréciée, ornée de neuf planches gravées repliées. Connu pour ses travaux dechimisteet dephysicien, on attribue à Joseph Priestley la découverte de l’oxygènequ’il a isolé dans son étatgazeux. C’est en 1774 que Priestley produisit pour la première fois de l’oxygène. Cependant, en tant que partisan de la théoriephlogistique, il nomma ce nouveau gaz «air déphlogistiqué», et ne se rendit pas compte de l’importance de sa découverte.Carl Wilhelm Scheele, lui aussi partisan duphlogistique, revendiqua la découverte de l’«oxygène», mais il devait revenir au chimiste françaisAntoine Lavoisier, père de la chimie moderne et démystificateur de la théorie duphlogistique, d’identifier le nouveau gaz par son poids spécifique et de donner à l’oxygène son nom. De son vivant, la réputation scientifique de Priestley résulte de sa «découverte» de l’eau gazeuse, de ses traités sur l’électricitéet de ses études sur les différents «airs» (gaz), le plus connu étant celui qu’il baptise «l’air déphlogistiqué» (oxygène). L’Abbé Nollet est parmi les invités des salons littéraires deSceauxet des fêtes desGrandes Nuits de Sceaux, que donne laduchesse du Maine, dans le cercle desChevaliers de la Mouche à Miel, auchâteau de Sceaux. De 1730 à 1732, il est associé aux recherches dusurintendant du Fay, spécialiste de l’électricité, l’un des deux plus grands électriciens du début duXVIIIesiècle avec l’AnglaisStephen Gray. Prenant connaissance des observations de Maimbray en 1747 - expérience princeps d’électroculture, Nollet, qui étudiait alors la capillarité, se décide à étudier l’effet de l’électricité sur la végétation. Nollet, qui, en outre, avait découvert l’osmoseen 1748, se heurte d’abord àThomas-François Dalibard, puis àBenjamin Franklinsur la théorie de l’électricité et surtout sur la paternité de la découverte de l’origine électrique de la foudre. A partir de 1758, il prend le titre et la fonction de maître de physique desEnfants de France, ce qui a pour effet d’installer définitivement la physique expérimentale à la cour de France. Mort le 24 avril 1770, cette «Histoire de l’électricité» publiée quelques mois après sa mort sera l’une de ses toutes dernières œuvres scientifiques. Très bel exemplaire relié en maroquin de l’époque aux armes de Charles Philippe de France, Comte d’Artois, futur Charles X (1757-1836) (avec son rare premier fer: écartelé de France et d’Artois, portant, aux 2 & 3, d’azur semé de fleurs de lys d’or, au lambel de gueules (Olivier, 2540)), alors âgé de 14 ans. De la bibliothèque A. de Grateloup, avec ex-libris manuscrits en pages de garde.

---- PREMIERE EDITION FRANCAISE --- BON EXEMPLAIRE BIEN COMPLET DU SUPPLEMENT PARU en 1785 ---- "First french translation of the first german edition by Baron De Dietrich who added an Avis and, at the end, a section of notes. The supplement translated by Baron De dietrich, contains Leonhardi's survey of the newly discovered gases as well as the other extra material found in the german second edition. An author index had been added". (Cole N° 1165 & 1166) ---- "This work contains Scheele's discovery of oxygen made independently of Priestley. He shows that air consists of two gases one of which supports combustion while the other does not. The former be identified with fixed air obtained from salpetre, nitric acid, black oxide of manganese, etc. He endeavoured to associate several phenomena with the action of this gas, particularly connecting it with the respiratory function and growth of plants. There are some interesting notes at the end by Kirwan as well as an important letter to the latter by Joseph Priestley on the differences in views existing between Scheele and him (Priestley)".
