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)".
