First German (abbreviated) translation/review of Berzelius landmark work published the same year as the original: the first system based on chemical formulae. The first complete German translation was not published untill 1815. The system was based, not on the crystallographic appearance of the minerals, but on knowledge of their chemical composition. Hausmann review [the present] was highly critical of the Berzelius work. This provoked Berzelius to publish the ""Försök till ett rent kemiskt Mineralsystem"" in 1815. ""With the addition of this supplemenentary monograph Berzelius' mineralogy no longer looked like an ""attempt"" but a fully developed mineralogy"". (Curtis Schuh).He was honoured in London by the Royal Society in 1836 for his new system by awarding him the Copley Medal in gold.""In accord with the interest that Swedish chemists had long shown in mineralogical studies, Berzelius had from time to time analyzed minerals that came into his hands. As was noted above, the discovery of cerium was the result of such an analysis. However, when he began his systematic studies to establish the law of constant proportions, he worked largely with simple salts. In 1812 he received a gift of a large number of minerals which he later decided to classify. The methods of mineral classification existing at that time were based on appearance and physical properties. These seemed highly unsystematic to Berzelius. He concluded from his analytical experience that a logical classification could be based only on chemical composition. In his original system, first published in 1814, he arranged the minerals in terms of their basic constituents, although he later revised this and placed chief emphasis on the acid component. Like many of Berzelius' innovations, his system of mineral classification was at first received with some hostility, but this was gradually overcome. During his visit to Paris in 1818 he won the approval of Haüy, the leading mineralogist of the day whose own system was based on physical properties.""(DSB).

The papers represents one of the first announcements of Berzelius' discovery of the fixed chemical proportions, determining the weights and valencies of the various constituent elements in inorganic compounds. The papers were published at the same time in German (both here in Annalen and in Schweiger's Journal), and in French. By running many hundreds of analysis of chemical compounds he gave so many examples of the law of definite proportions that the world of chemistry could no longer doubt its validity, and in so doing he gave experimental evidence to the atomic theory. He hereby laid a solid fundation for the further development of chemistry.According to Söderbaum (Jac. Berzelius, 2, p.12) ""It was a giant work, one of the most importent in the history of chemistry, which was here presented. One is even more impressed when one remembers that it was a pioneer undertaking in every sense of the term. Analytic and synthetic methods existed before Berzelius' time, to be sure, but there were no precise methods of the sort which he required. They all had to be elaborated at the cost of time and labour.""(J. Erik Jorpes ""Jac. Berzelius"", p.45).""In general Berzelius's efforts were directed toward the consolidation and extension of the atomic theory. He improved chemical analysis and determined the composition of a large number of compounds, thus verifying the laws of constant and multiple proportions and furnishing the most accurate equivalent weights then available. By ingenious methods he arrived at the correct atomic composition of most common substances, and thus was enabled to draw up (in 1826) a table of atomic weights very nearly identical with the modern one.""(Leicester & Klicktein ""A Source Book in Chemistry"", p. 258).Parkinson ""Breakthroughs"", 1810-20 C.

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 disvoeries 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...".

First printing of these 3 papers which represents Berzelius's discovery of Selenium. Berzelius ""became a partner together with his friends Gahn and Palmstedt in the ownership of a factory near Gripsholm castle, manufacturing sulforic acid, vinegar, soap and white lead.During the summer of 1817 Berzelius spent an entire month supervising the manufacture. This lead to the discovery of a new elemen, Selenium, which he found in the form of a golden-brown sediment in the mud from the bottom of the lead chamber. This was an era when new elements could still be ""scrabed of the walls....what had previously been known as ""Swedish tellurium ore"" was now found to be selenide of copper and silver with a 26 per cent selenium content.""

First German printing - printed simultaneously with the English and Swedish version - of the paper in which Berzelius described his discovery of Thorium, the first element after Uranium to be identified as such. In 1829, Jöns Jakob Berzelius of the Royal Karolinska Institute, Stockholm extracted thorium from a rock specimen sent to him by an amateur mineralogist who had discovered it near Brevig and realised that it had not previously been reported. The mineral turned out to be thorium silicate, and it is now known as thorite. Berzelius even produced a sample of metallic thorium by heating thorium fluoride with potassium, and confirmed it as a new metal. He called the black mineral thorite, in honor of the Scandinavian god Thor.Parkinson ""Breakthroughs"", 1829 C.

Il fut presque le créateur de la chimie organique. Il introduisit en chimie les notions et les mots d'allotropie, de catalyse, d'isomérie et de protéine. Philosophe aussi bien qu'expérimentateur, il consolida la théorie atomistique ainsi que celle des proportions chimiques. Enfin, il adopta, pour expliquer les phénomènes, la célèbre théorie du dualisme électrochimique, et fit au moyen de cette théorie de nombreuses réformes dans la nomenclature et la classification. Il fut à lorigine d'une théorie électrochimique et d'une théorie sur les radicaux et en commença le développement.

First French edition of this importent paper in the history of chemistry in which Berzelius advanced the concept of 'Catalysis', and described inorganic reactions by way of metals and the biological reactions by enzymes. The paper on Catalysis was first published in his ""Årsberättelse"" (Annual Survey) in 1835. - Axel Holmberg 1836:14. - Partington IV, pp. 263-64""This is a new force in inorganic and organic nature, bringing into being chemical activity, and more widely distributed than has hitherto been thought, the naure of which is completely concealed. If I all it a new force it is not my meaning that it is independent of the electrochemical relations of matter, but on the contrary I can only assume that it is a special kind of manifestation of these. So long as its nature and relations are unknown it will be convenient to considerit a new force, and to give it a name.""(Berzelius).Parkinson ""Breakthroughs"", 1836 C.The issue contains furthermore two importent papers by the founder of modern organic cemeistry, Auguste Laurent ""Sur l'Acide Naphtalique et ses Combinaisons"", pp. 113-125 and ""Théorie des Combinaisons Organiques"", pp. 125-151.Laurent: A founder of modern organic chemistry, Laurent was one of the most important chemists of the nineteenth century.

---- PREMIERE EDITION FRANCAISE ---- BON EXEMPLAIRE BIEN COMPLET DE TOUS SES VOLUMES ---- "BERZELIUS presented an annual report on physics, chemistry and mineralogy which was published in swedish... The french translation contains some polemics against Liebig omitted from the German by Wöhler who also toned down some wording in earlier volumes...". (Partington IV p. 146) ---- "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...".
