TYNDALL (John)
Further researches on the deportment and vital persistence of putrefactive and infective organisms from a physical point of view
, 1877, in-4, de 56 pages [pages 149 à 206], exemplaire broché, sans couverture, Tiré à part extrait des Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society portant un rare envoi de Tyndall à Lortet. Après une première étude, parue en 1876 sous le titre The optical deportment of the atmosphere in relation to the phenomena of putrefaction and infection, Tyndall continue ses recherches sur les organismes infectieux et leur résistance à la chaleur. Ainsi, dans la présente publication, il décrit un moyen nouveau de stérilisation (la Tyndallisation) par le biais d'une méthode d'ébouillantage discontinu. Les présents travaux de biologie expérimentale portèrent, avec ceux de Pasteur, le coup de grâce à la théorie de la génération spontanée. Louis Charles Émile Lortet, biologiste, zoologiste et directeur du Muséum d'Histoire Naturelle de Lyon, fit la connaissance de Tyndall dans les années 1860 alors que celui-ci s'adonnait à sa passion pour l'alpinisme, notamment en Suisse. En 1869, Lortet donna, sous le titre "Dans les montagnes", une traduction de deux textes de Tyndall, "Mountaineering in 1861" et "Hours of exercise in the Alps". Salissures sur les premières pages, coins cornés et petites déchirures sur l'extérieur des pages. Couverture rigide

First appearnace of this important paper in which Tyndall announced his discovery of fractional sterilization ""Tyndallization"".""In my last paper I made some remarks upon this subject"" and in relation to our present experiments, the influence of drying and hardening was brought home to me by the fact that in all the foregoing cases the infusions which five minutes boiling proved sufficient to sterilize were, without exception, derived from fresh hay mowen in 1876, while the infusions which five minutes' boiling failed to sterilize were derived, without exception, from old hay mown either in 1875 or some previous year.""(p. 159 in the paper).""Tyndall interested himself in atmospheric germs and dust. His experiments on sterilization by heat lead him to the discovery in 1877 (the paper offered) of fractional sterilization (Tyndallization)....The reseraches of Tyndall, even more than those of Pasteur, dealt the final blow to the doctrine of spontaneous generation"" they were fundamental for the progress of bacteriology.""(Garrison & Morton 2495, listing his later book from 1881 ""Essays on the floating-matter of the air..."").During the 1870s Pasteur and Tyndall were in frequent communication.
