First printing of these 6 papers constituting the classical photochemical researches, - the papers laid the foundation for the science of quantitative photochemistry.""Between 1852 and 1862 Bunsen collaborated with Sir Henry Roscoe on photochemical research involving the chemical combination of equal volumes of hydrogen and chlorine when they were illuminated.For this experiment they altered a reaction vessel devised by John Draper in 1843. Bunsen and Roscoe found that for some time after the experiment started - a time they called the induction period - no reation took place"" then the reaktion rate slowly increased until a constant rate, proportional to the intensity of the light source used, was reached. The effect of the incident light was related to the wavelenght and followed a law of inverse squares.....(they) determined that the energy of light radiated by the sun in one minute is equivalent to the energy needed for the conversion of 25x10 with a potens of 12 cubic miles of a hydrogen-chlorine mixture into hydrogen chloride.""(DSB II, pp. 589).The papers contains the description of the ACTIONOMETER, which measures the heating power of electromagnetic radiation. The main use is to measure solar energy for meteteorological applications, Bunsen and Roscoe made this invention in order to carry out their researches here.The famous ""BUNSEN BURNER"" is first described here (in vol. 100 pp. 84-86). This invention furnished Bunsen & Kirchhoff with a non-luminous gas-flame of failrly high temperature, in which chemical substances could be vaporized and a spectrum could be obtained, due purely and simply to the luminous vapour.Leicester & Klickstein ""A Source Book in Chemistry"", pp. 355-360).

Kirchhoff & Bunsen's paper: pp. 452-486 and 1 double-page folded chromolithographed plate, showing spectroscope and 8 spectra, among these the spectra of Cesium.
First apperance in French of this fundamental papers, constituting the invention of Spectrum Analysis, and announcing the discovery of a new elements, Cesium, by using the new method of spectroscopy, developed by them. This technique, made possible by their invention of the spectroscope, is called ""One of the most dashing advances of the human mind into the secrets of the composition of matter on earth and in cosmos""(Kedrow in ""Spectralanalyse"", 1961). The spectral lines proved to be a guide not only to the great world of the outer cosmos, but to the infra-tiny world within the atom. Balmer made the first steps in this direction (the Balmer-lines). The next year Kirchhoff and Bunsen published another memoir in which they announced the finding of another new element, Rubidium""The two investigators advanced, as scientifically established, the law that the bright lines in the spectrum may be taken as a sure sign of the presence of the respective metals. This conclusion was rendered doubtly sure by the discovery in the mineral water of Durkheim, through the spectrum, of two new metals. From the blue and the red lines, by which they were recognized, they were named ""Cæsium"" and ""Rubidium"". While spectrum analysis, as a terrestrial science, was due equally to Kirchhoff and Bunsen, its celestial applications belong to Kirchhoff alone.""(Cajori in ""A History of Physics in its Elementary Branches"", pp. 160 ff).In a letter to Henry Roscoe, with whom Bunsen carried out a long importent series of photochemical researches, Bunsen wrote: ""At present Kirchhoff and I are engaged in a common work which doesn't let us sleep....Kirchhoff has made a wonderful, entirely unexpected discovery in finding the cause of the dark lines in the solar spectrum, and increasing them artificially in the sun's spectrum, and inproducing them in spectra which does not have lines, and in exactly the same position as the corresponding Frauenhofer lines. Thus a means has been found to determine the composition of the sun and fixed stars with the same accuracy as we determine sulfuric acid, chlorine, etc., with our chemical reagents. Substances on the earth can be determined by this

---- PREMIERE EDITION FRANCAISE ---- BON EXEMPLAIRE ---- "Between 1838 and 1846, BUNSEN developed methods for the study of gases while he was investigating the industrial production of cast iron in Germany and, in collaboration with Lyon PLAYFAIR, in England... BUNSEN compiled his research on the phenomena of gases into his only book Gasometrische methoden (1857). This work brought gas analysis to a level of accuracy and simplicity reached earlier by gravimetric and titrimetric techniques. He presented methods of collecting, preserving and measuring gases ; techniques of eudiometric analysis ; new process for determining the specific gravities of gases ; results of investigations on the absorption of gases in water and alcohol using an absorptiometer he himself had devised ; and results of experiments on gaseous diffusion and combustion. On the problem of gaseous absorption, BUNSEN, assisted by several students, showed the experimental limits within which HENRY's law of pressures and DALTON's law of partial pressures are valid".

First appearance in English of a classic paper in the investigations of chemical reactions produced by lightrays. Their joined work - from 1855-59 - founded scientific photochemistry, by determining the phenomena of induction, deduction and extinction. They found that the beginning of light reaction takes place at first very slowly and that the velocity increases gradually until it attains a constant value, observing also that steam accelerates the action and that air retards it. They also gave proofs of the ""Law of Reciprocity
