New Theory of the Constitution of mixed Gases elucidated. (November 1802 - Communicated by the Author).
London, Printed for Alexander Tilloch,1802. 8vo. Contemp. blue boards. Titlelabel with gilt lettering. Spine slightly rubbed. In: ""The Philosophical Magazine. By Alexander Tilloch"", Vol. IV. Engraved portrait (Richard Kirwan). 380 pp. a. 6 engraved plates. Dalton's paper: pp. 169-173.
First printing of an importent paper in which Dalton clarifies certain unclear points in his famous essays ""Experimental essays on the constitution of mixed gases...."", published 1801-02. These essays ""gave him at once European reputation... by these discoveries meteorology was constituted a science"" (D.N.B.).""I propose therefore (after some misunderstanding from Thomson and others), 1st, To state, in as clear a point of view as the subject will admit, the principles which I assume: 2d, To show that the consequences which I have deduced from them are legitimate"" and, particularly, that mixed elastic fluids ought not to arrange themselves according to their specific gravity: and, 3d, To demonsrate that the supposition of the gases constituting the stmospere being held in a state of equal diffusion by chemical affinity, is not only inconsistent with the phaenomena, but is completely absurd"" (John Dalton in the paper).Smyth ""John Dalton...

And pp. 458-461.
First German editions of these importent papers on Dalton's theory of gases. The year ""1804 was notable chiefly for controversy over the mixed gases theory and particularly over its denial of weak chemical affinity forces. Continuing criticism of the theory - and the failure of particle weight studies to provide the hoped-for clinching evidence - caused Dalton to revise his ideas on mixed gases during the course of 1805.""

First printing of Dalton's last paper submitted to the ""Transactions"". This paper, one of his last, deals with the constitution of the atmosphere, just as his first love was meteorology.""In an essay of mine on the constitution of the atmosphere, which was printed in the Transactions for 1826, I signified my intention of following it with a sequel of experiments to ascertain if possible which of the two views therein developed was most counntenanced by facts. I now proceed to give an account of such investigations relating to this subject as havee engaged my attention during a long period of years.""(John Dalton). - (Smith: John Dalton. A Bibliography.

The appended table in this paper is the first list of atomic weights. Dalton, in this publication, took the law which William henry had recently enunciated (that the amount of of gas absorbed by a liquid is proportional to the pressure) and extended it to apply to mixtures of gases, using his own law of partial pressures.""

First appearance in German of 4 importent early papers by Dalton (issued in English 1799, 1800 a.1803) - dealing with heat circulation (criticizing Rumford) and with air, its relations to temperature and pressures, announcing the importent observation, that the temperature of air compressed to one-half its volume is raised to 50 degrees Fahrenhait. ""Three papers that Dalton read to the Manchester Literary and Philosophical Society in 1799 and 1800 (in which year he became the Society's secretary) show how much the question of water vapor continued to exercise him. In the first paper he discusse the balance in nature between rain, dew, river-water runoff, and evaporation. In the course of this discussion, he provided the earliest definition of the dew point. Then followed two competent, but more pedestrian, papers on heat, in which his firm belief in a fluid of heat is well-displayed and his complete acceptance of the particular caloric theory of William Irvine an Adair Crawford is apparent.""(DSB III, p.541). - Smyth No. 27, 28 a. 31 (German version).The volume contains otrher notable papers by Olbers ""Ueber die vom Himmel gefallnen Steinen"", Thomas Thomson (2 papers on the subject of ""heat of fluids""), Alex.

First appearance in German of two importent papers on the multiple proportions of gases, announcing the first example of the Law of multiple proportions. The first paper was read to the Manchester Society in 1802, but first published in 1805. It is Dalton's first chemical memoir, and it ""disclosed the insight obtained through study of the combinations of oxygen with nitrous gas, into the LAW OF MULTIPLE PROPORTIONS.""(D.N.B).""One thing Dalton did in order to provide support for his heavely attacked theory of mixed gases was to begin an experimental inquiry into the proportions of the various gases in the atmosphere. This inquiry accidentally raised the whole question of the solubility of gases in water. By 12. Novwember 1802 he had discovered enough to read to the Manchester Society his paper ""On the Proportion of Several Gases or Elastic Fluids..."" (the paper offered). When read, although not when published, it contained the staement that carbon dioxide ""is held in water, not by chemical affinity, but merely by the pressure of the gas...on the surface, forcing it into the pores of water."". The researches on solubility thus led to an extension of his mechanical ideas.""(DSB III, p. 541).Smyth No. 36 a. 37. (German version).

First edition of Dalton's first book. In chemistry Dalton was the founder of ""The Atomic Theory"" (A New System of Chemical Philosophy 1808-27) and with his ""Meteorological Observations"" and supplementary lectures he laid the foundation of modern meteorology, establishing the cause of air's homogeneity and formulating the law of partial pressures. In the attempt to give solid experimental bases for his studies, Dalton laid the foundation of future atomic theory, beginning an experimental inquiry into proportions of different gases in the atmosphere.

First German translations of these fundamental papers in which Dalton formulated his gas-and pressure laws, such as ""The Law of Partial Pressures"" , ""The Charles Law"" or The Charles-Gay-Lussac Law"" (this law arrived at almost simustaneously with Gay-Lussac).These papers were read and published in the memoires from the ""Manchester Literary and Philosophical Society"" in 1801 and 1802 in 4 parts, the German translation, the item offered, is divided in 5 parts, probably incorporating the paper from Nicholson's Journal from 1801. The publication of these papers gave him at once international reputation they tried to explain why the gases of the atmosphere remain mixed instead of segregating with the heaviest element at the bottom, it states that the maximum density of a vapour in contact with its liquid remains the same whether other gases be present or not and the vies that the particles of everykind of elastic fluid are elastic only with regard to their own kind. and that the otal pressure of the atmosphere equals the sum of the pressures exerted by the individual gases, each of which excerts its pressure independently of the others. This was the first step toward his atomic theory of in chemistry. - He also showed that the quantity of water evaporated in a given time to be stricktly proportional to the force of aqueous vapour at the same temperature, and last, announcing the law that all elastic fluids expands the same quantity by heat, ""The Charle's Law or Charles-Gay-Lussac Law"".

First appearance in French of these importent papers. publication of which at once gave him European reputation.

Second paper is the French translation of the first of the 5 seminal papers which appeared under the general title ""Experimental Essays on the constitution of mixed Gases"" on the Force of steam or vapor etc...""(published 1801-3).
