‎---- PREMIERE EDITION FRANCAISE du traité de Nernst paru sous le titre Theoretische Chemie vom Stanpunkte der Avogadroschen Regel... ---- EXEMPLAIRE BIEN COMPLET DES DEUX VOLUMES COMPOSANT CE TRAITE ---- "Although NERNST's early worldwide reputation resulted from a broad range of fundamental contributions to the new developments in physical chemistry, especially in electrolytic solution theory, his crowning achievement was in chemical thermodynamics. For this work NERNST received the Nobel Prize for chemistry in 1920... During the early Göttingen period of his career, NERNST's conception of the goals and significant advances in theoretical chemistry was fashioned and published in his Theoretische Chemie. This textbook was dedicated to Ettingshausen in Graz. As NERNST conceived it, the most important of chemical processeses was first, to recognize the central importane of AVOGRADO's hypothesis and second to accentuate the law of energy that governs all natural processes. Convinced that theoretical chemistry had begun to attain a certain maturity, NERNST feld that an independent textbook was needed in order to bring together widely different aspects of physics and chemistry... As he indicated in the preface, his objective was to present the latest investigation... In Germany until 1926 this work was recognized as the foremost textbook of physical chemistry...".
