‎---- PREMIERE EDITION FRANCAISE EN PARTIE ORIGINALE traduite par A.J.L. Jourdan sur les manuscrits de l'auteur : "M. BERZELIUS AYANT BIEN VOULU COMMUNIQUER EN MANUSCRIT TOUTES LES ADDITIONS ET CORRECTIONS QUE LES PROGRES DE LA SCIENCE ONT RENDUES NECESSAIRES, LA TRADUCTION QUE NOUS PUBLIONS DOIT ÊTRE REGARDEE COMME UNE VERITABLE EDITION NOUVELLE DANS LAQUELLE ON TROUVERA LES DERNIERS OPINIONS DE L'AUTEUR". (Avertissement de l'éditeur) ---- "This is the first french edition from the second edition of the authors'text book. A.J.L. Jourdan translated vol I and M. Esslinger translated the remaining volumes. Much new material was contributed by the author making this a "new edition". (Cole N° 149) ---- "THE MOST AUTHORITATIVE CHEMICAL TEXT OF ITS DAYS" (DSB) ---- "BERZELIUS' most active and productive years were those in which chemistry was beginning to show the full effects of Lavoisier's revolution. The fundamental tools which he created were extremely influential in determining the direction in which the science developed. His achievements were many and varied, and at first glance they seem rather unrelated to each other. Upon closer examination we find an underlying unity of thought and a logical interconnection and development of this thought in most of his work... The tremendous influence which BERZELIUS exerted on the chemist of his time came not only from his experimental discoveries and his theoretical interpretations. His voluminous writings were circulated everywhere in the chemical world. He reported his own discoveries in the various editions of his textbook and he surveyed the whole progress of chemistry in his annual reports which were read everywhere... By the force of his personality, by the skill of his laboratory techniques, and by his power to collect, synthesize and publicize the chemistry of his day, he exerted an influence on his own time which is still reflected in chemistry more than a century after his death...".
