First appearance in French of Liebig's two papers on fermentation and first appearance of Pasteur's paper. Liebig's papers started a bitter controversy (after Liebig's death continued by Claude Bernard) as he claimed, that all ferments are chemical reactions and not vital processes. Pasteur, on the other hand, claimed that life is needed for fermentation.""From 1865 to 1870, while Pasteur was preoccupied with the silk-worm problem, his theory of fermentation enjoyed increasing favor, especially abroad. What criticism did appear during the period failed to distract him from his centraltask. In 1871, hovever, the ""Annales de chimie et de physique"" published a French translation of a wide-ranging critique by Liebig (the papers offered), who had broken a long silence on the issues of the two lectures (1868, 1869). In a reply (the paper offered) of almost arrogant brevity, Pateur discussed only two aspects of Liebig's critique, both of which involved direct challenges to experimental claims made a decade beforee by Pasteur: (1) that pure yeast and a simple alcoholic fermentation could be produced in a medium free of organic nitrogen and (2) that acetic fermentation required the intervention of ""Mycoderma aceti"". OPasteur responded by challenging Liebig to submit the dispute to a commission of the Academie des Sciences. before this commission, Pasteur boldly predicted, he would prepare, in a medium free of organic nitrogen, as much beer yeast as Liebig might reasonably demand and would demonstrate the existance of ""Mycoderma aceti"" on the surface of the beechwood shavings used in the German methpd of acetification....Liebig died in 1873 without accepting Pasteur's challenge.""(DSB X, ppp. 376 ff.). - Partington IV, pp. 307 ff.The volumes contains other notable papers: BERTHELOT ""Mémoire sur la force de poudre et des matieres explosives"", pp. 223-273., JANSSEN: ""Études sur les raies telluriques du spectre solaire"", pp. 274-298, KEKULÉ, BOUSSINGAULT, STAS, WURTZ et al.

In october 1836 Wöhler wrote that he had discovered a way to transform amygdalin to oil of bitter almonds and hydrocyanid acis, by distilling it with manganese and sulfuric acid, and he invited Liebig to join in pursuing the topic. Two days later he made a more remarkable discovery. It had occurred to him that perhaps thetransformation of amygdalin could be effected by the albumin in the almonds, in a manner similar to the action of yeast in sugar...Wöhler suspected that the decomposition was an example of what Berzelius had recently defined as catalysis. Liebig and Wöhler then divided up the detailed examination of the properties and composition of amygdalin. They precipitated from the emulsion of almonds a substance which when dissolved retain its action. They named the active substance ""emulsion"".

The paper was followed with berzelius' letter in which he praised the authors for their remarkable work and he indicates how their compounds could be represented by formulas. The paper initiated a search for common radicals in other organic compounds from chemists all over the world.""The first significent step in finding the order behind the bewildering complexity of organic compounds was made by Wöhler and Liebig in their joint researc on benzaldehyde (oil of bitter almonds) and its derivatives. Here for the first time it was clealy seen that a group of atoms could remain intact throughout a series of reactions and function as a whole - as a radical..... Gay-Lussac's researches on cyanogen confirmed the possibility of the existence of organic radicals, but they first became really significant with the this study of Wöhler and Liebig.""

First printing of Liebig's milestone work describing the methods for analyzing organic compounds by the ""combustion method for determining carbon and hydrogen in organic compounds, a method still in use. The paper was first published in ""Annalen"" in 1831 (the paper offered). His insistence that chemistry could be applied to agriculture marks the beginning of the practical applications of chemistry which dominated his life.""(Dibner ""Heralds of Science"" No 46). - He notably introduced a method for determining the amount of urea in a solution. This substance is found in blood and urine of mammalss, and was the first organic compound to be sunthetized, that is to be built up from inorganic substances.The work is more often referred to under the title ""Anleitung zur Analyse organischer Körper"", published 6 years later in 1837, this is the case for both Dibner and Horblit. Horblit in ""Milestones of Science"" No. 67, adds that it ""Appeared earlier in ""Annalen der Physik und Chemie, vol. 31..(the paper offered) He calls it ""Importent publication of the constitution of organic compounds, with descriptions in detail of the modern method of chemical analysis"".""Organic compounds generally had molecules of far more complicated structure than those of inorganic ones, and methods for analyzing the former quantiiavily lagged. Gay-Lussac and Thénard had worked out a way of burning organic compounds and measuring the quantity of carbon dioxide and water that was formed. By 1831 Liebig had taken this technique in hand and perfected it to a point where, from the figures on carbon dioxide and water formed, accurate measurements of the carbon and hydrogen in the original compound could be obtained.""(Asimov).Dibner No 46 - Horblitt No 67.The volume contains other importent papers Sefström ""Ueber das Vanadium...""

It is the last joint paper of importence from ""these two men, ...pioneers in the development of organic chemistry, form a twin constellation in the chemical firmament""(Alexander Findley in ""A Hundred Years of Chemistry"", p. 23). The paper is a translation of ""Untersuchungen über die Natur der Harnsäure"", published at the same time in Justus Liebigs Annalen der Chemie (1838), Wöhler and Liebig collaborated on one more major piece of work, a study of uric acid. (The paper offered). Wöhler suggested the subject, and the idea seems to have come from his medical interests. Uric acid was not easily obtainable–snake excrement was the only substantial source–and relationships with urea and allantoin were suspected by Wöhler. As a student he had won a prize in 1828 for an essay on the conversion in the human body of chemicals taken orally and excreted in urine. The technique adopted by Liebig and Wöhler was to subject uric acid, ad the derivatives they prepared, to oxidation and reduction by reagents of different concentrations and strengths. Wöhler seems to have been the first to heat reagents together in sealed glass tubes, but after an explosion he thought metal ones safer.Their 100-page paper described fourteen new compounds and their preparation and analysis.7 An attempt to establish a new radical called ""uril"" (C8N4O4) was less successful. Perhaps even more significant than the sophisticated, practical and theoretical organic chemistry was the new spirit revealed. Writing to Berzelius in 1828, Wöhler was doubtful whether animal substances could be prepared in the laboratory. In 1832 he began the paper on the benzoyl radical with a description of organic chemistry as ""the dark region of organic nature."" But in 1838 his work with Liebig led him to write (at Liebig’s suggestion): ""The philosophy of chemistry will conclude from this work that it must be held not only as probable but [as] certain that all organic substances, insofar as they no longer belong to the organism, will be prepared in the laboratory. Sugar, salicin, morphine will be produced artificially. It is true that the route to these and products is not yet clear to us, because the intermediaries from which these materials develop are still unknown, but we shall learn to know them.""(DSB).

First printing of Liebig's importent paper in which he expounds his Ether-theory.""Shortly afterward Liebig discovered an important new compound which he thought revealed another fatal flaw in Dumas’s theory. Since 1831, when Dobereiner had sent him an “ether-like” fluid obtained from the oxidation of alcohol, Liebig had tried several times to identify the resultant compounds. Dobereiner maintained that the fluid contained an ""oxygen ether."" In 1833 Liebig found two distinct compounds present. One of them, Dobereiner’s oxygen ether, he examined more thoroughly and renamed acetal.""

First appearance of a historical paper in chemistry. stating a new way to organize organic chemistry.When Liebig visited Paris in 1837, he persuaded Dumas to accept the ethyl theory, and in a joint memoir (written by Liebig) presented on 23 October 1837 to the Paris Academy (the paper offered) they asserted that ""in inorganic chemistry the radicals are simple"" in organic chemistry they are compounds - that is the sole difference. The laws of combination, the laws of reaction, are the same in the two branches of chemistry"" (Partington, vol. IV, p. 351).""In the paper ""Note on the present state of organic chemistry"" .... (Dumas and Liebig)) claim to have found the key to systematically organizing organic chemistry, basing research not on the elements, as in inorganic chemistry, but on the radicals. The radicals in organic chemistry act analogous to the elements in mineral chemistry, with the same general principles of combination and reaction.""(Partington ""Breakthroughs"" 1837 C).

This milestone paper on organic acids, in which Liebig set forth the now accepted view, that hydrogen is the essential element in acids and that acid are salts of hydrogen. The paper appeared simultaneously in German (""Über die Constitution der organischen Sauren"") and French. The offered paper is the French version.""The paper on organic acids was one of Liebig’s finest achievements, reflecting the best of the attributes that had marked his previous work. He based his position on precise analyses of numerous compounds. Some concerned substances he had discovered, but many were refinements of analyses done by others. He had not originated the theories he defended, but had greatly extended approaches drawn from Davy, Graham, Pelouze, and others. Through his extensive knowledge of compounds and reactions, he was able to amass impressive evidence for his inferences. He displayed a realistic sense of the value and limits of theoretical conceptions. He utilized flexibly such currently accepted foundations of reasoning as the radical theory. He was able to weld these elements into a comprehensive, unifying whole. He took a major step in one of the most important revisions in general chemical theory since the acceptance of Lavoisier’s system of chemistry: a revision completed a few years later in the more universal statement of the hydrogen theory of acids by Liebig’s former student, Gerhardt.""(DSB).

THE DISCOVERY IS OF PRIMARY IMPORTENCE FOR OUR CONCEPTION OF THE CHEMICAL CHANGES IN THE LIVING BODY.""(Singer in ""The Story of Living Things"" p. 374).""In their classic paper - which was actually written by Wöhler although Liebig is listed as coauthor - they summarized their achievements: ""...we make the general assertion that as a result of our experiments, it is established that there is a body, composed of three elements, that remains stable in the presence of reagents and that can be regarded not only as the radical of benzoic acid, bur perhaps with slight variatioons, as the radical of a large number of similar compounds.....Incidentally, many of the compounds they first prepared and described (such as benzoyl chloride) were importent in the future development of organic chemistry.""(DSB XIV, pp. 476-477). - Parkinson ""Breakthroughs"", 1832 C

First appearance in French - the paper was published at the same time in ""Annalen der Pharmacie"" and in""Annalen der Physik und Chemie. Hrsg.von Poggendorff""- of an importent paper on Radicals in which he regards alcohol as a hydrate of the ethyl radical and ether as the oxide of the ethyl radical. The paper is also relevant for the discovery and development of ether as an anaesthesia.

First printing of a classical paper in chemistry, helping to establish ""Isomerism"", stating that some chemical substances have the same composition, but different properties.""One of Wöhler's earliest researches was made on the cyanates, the same group of compounds which led to the syntheis of urea. The silver salt of cyanic acid was carefully analyzed and reported in the litterature - 77.23 per cent silver oxide, 22.77 per cent cyanic acid. At about the same time Justus von Liebig, working in Gay-Lussac's laboratory, completed analyzing silver fulminate - 77.53 per cent silver oxide, 22.47 per cent cyanic acid. The analyses indicated an identity, but the compounds clearly differed in properties. Liebig, certain that Wöhler analyses was wron, apparently confirmed this by preparing and analzing silver cyanate, it contained 71 per cent of silver oxide... The two chemists were faced with the dilemma of having two compounds, but drastically different properties... brzelius took notice of the fact that the composition of cyanates and fulminates was apparently identical, but was unable to arrive at an explanation. Gay-Lussac, convinced of the correctness of the analyses, attributed the difference in properties to variation in the way the elements were combined.""

Titre, 82 pp., une planche dépliante (chiffrée 2 par rapport à la livraison du périodique).Première traduction française de l'essai célèbre, Untersuchungen über einige Ursachen der Säftebewegung im thierischen Organismus (1848).Le célèbre chimiste allemand Justus, baron von Liebig, est né en 1803 à Darmstadt, d'un père droguiste. Il fit une partie de ses études à Paris et fut encouragé par Vauquelin et Gay-Lussac. Ses travaux sur les fulminates impressionnèrent Humboldt qui lui ouvrit la carrière de l'enseignement. En 1825, il fut nommé professeur de chimie à Giessen. Ses cours donnèrent une importance inattendue à cette petite université, vers laquelle se ruèrent de nombreux étudiants européens. Il créa un laboratoire de chimie pratique en Allemagne, puis enseigna à Heidelberg et à Munich. Considéré comme un des créateurs de la chimie organique, il est aussi l'un des artisans de la découverte de l'isométrie. Liebig est mort en 1873, mais son nom figure encore aujourd'hui dans les placards des cuisines et sur les tables du monde entier.

Paris, Fortin, Masson et Co, et Charpentier, 1845, in-8, Front, XI-331 pp, Demi-basane brune de l'époque, dos lisse et fileté, Première édition française due au docteur Gerhard Wilhelm Bichon, élève de Liebig (1803-1873). En frontispice, un portrait lithographié de l'auteur en-dessous duquel figure sa signature en fac-similé. Les lettres sur la chimie de Liebig, fondateur de la chimie organique, poursuivent le but de faire comprendre à un large public de personnes éclairées les liens et les interconnexions qui existent entre la recherche la plus fondamentale et le quotidien : l'auteur y démontre ainsi l'importance de la chimie moderne qui structure le monde contemporain, les progrès de l'industrie, de la mécanique, de la physique, de l'agriculture et de la physiologie. L'ouvrage se compose vingt-six lettres. Ces Lettres ont connu de nombreuses éditions et traductions en différentes langues, incorporant à chaque fois les divers ajouts réalisés par l'auteur de son vivant. La nôtre a été suivie, la même année, par une seconde édition française, établie par Dupiney de Vorepierre et Dubreuil-Hélion sur la seconde édition allemande, parue chez Masgana et Jean-Baptiste Baillière.
