Paris, Germer-Baillie?re [impr. E. Martinet], 23 avril 1864, in-4, [16] pp. (pagination de 257 à 272), Broché, sans couverture, Édition originale de ce numéro de la future Revue rose, où sont confrontées les ultimes démonstrations de Pasteur et de Pouchet dans la querelle qui les opposa au sujet de la génération spontanée entre 1859 et 1865. Cette livraison comporte en effet, l'un à la suite de l'autre, la démonstration de Pasteur faite lors des Soirées scientifiques de la Sorbonne le 7 avril 1864, et le cours de Pouchet donné au Muséum d'histoire naturelle de Rouen. Le premier infligea un coup de grâce au second en démontrant devant une "brillante assemblée", composée entre autres d'Alexandre Dumas et George Sand, que la génération spontanée des êtres n'est qu'une "chimère". "(...) faisons la nuit autour de nous, rendons tout obscur, et éclairons seulement ces petits corps, alors nous verrons comme le soir on voit les étoiles" (Pasteur, p. 261). Félix Pouchet (1800-1872), correspondant de l'Institut et fondateur du Muséum d'histoire naturelle de Rouen, défendait l'idée, déjà ancienne, de l'ovulation spontanée des mammifères. En 1859, il publie Hétérogénie, ou Traité de la génération spontanée, dans lequel il reprend à son compte cette théorie. Au même moment, Louis Pasteur (1822-1895) démontrait au contraire la fermentation et la biogenèse. L'Académie des Sciences établit une commission chargée de trancher le débat. Pasteur, qui réalise des expériences avec ses fameux ballons à col de cygne, parvient à démontrer que la contamination microbienne provient de l'air, et non de la génération spontanée à partir de matière inanimée ("Mémoire sur les corpuscules organisés qui existent dans l'atmosphère", Annales de chimie et de physique, 3e série, vol. 64). De leur côté, les partisans de Pouchet jugent la commission partiale et renoncent à s'y présenter; Pasteur remporte donc le prix en 1862. Face à la contestation, l'Académie constitue une seconde commission le 4 janvier 1864. Le 7 avril, Pasteur présente ainsi à la Sorbonne la démonstration retranscrite ici. Il y conclut : "Non, il n'y a aucune circonstance aujourd'hui connue dans laquelle on puisse affirmer que des êtres microscopiques sont venus au monde sans germe, sans parents semblables à eux. Ceux qui le prétendent ont été le jouet d'illusions, d'expériences mal faites, entachées d'erreurs qu'ils n'ont pas pu apercevoir ou qu'ils n'ont pas su éviter" (p. 265). Pouchet, à Rouen, présente son cours de physiologie sur les générations spontanés; il y soutient que les expériences chimiques de Pasteur rétrogradent la science d'un siècle et invoque les expériences physiologiques qui soutiennent, au contraire, la thèse de l'hétérogénie, en démontrant l'absence de germes dans l'air (les "oeufs atmosphériques"). La commission conclut, le 20 février 1865, en faveur de Pasteur. Ce résultat a eu un impact significatif sur la compréhension de la microbiologie et de la médecine; il est le premier pas de Pasteur vers la formulation de la théorie microbienne des maladies. Pouchet restera quant à lui convaincu de sa théorie, jusqu'à sa mort. Numéro tel que paru, sans couverture et sans attache. Couverture rigide

First appearance of a milestone paper in chemistry in which Pasteur announced two momentous importent discoveries, that racemic acid could be separated into the two optically active tartaric acids and the discovery of ""mesotartaric"" acid.For his work on racemic acid and crystallography he received the prize of 1,500 francs from the Société de pharmacie (1853), membership in the Legion of Honor, and the Rumford Medal of the Royal Society (1856).""During this journey (travel to Vienna, Prag and Saxony) Pasteur met a German industrial chemist who claimed to have achieved what Pasteur then considered impossible - the chemical transformation of tartaric into racemic acid. Although he soon confirmed his belief that this particular claim was inaccurate, Pasteur unexpectedly achieved the transformation in May 1853 by heating cinchonine tartrate at 170°C. for five to six hours. This procedure also yielded a small amount of inactive ""mesotartaric"" acid, the existence of which Pasteur had predicted the year before and in search of which he had apparently undertaken the experiment. In the memoir (1 August 1853) in which he announced these two discoveries, Pasteur disclosed a new method for separating racemic acid into its left- and right- handed components. His original method, involving the manual separation of the crystals, was laborious and extremely limited in applicability. The central feature of the new method was the chemical combination of racemic acid with optically active bases. Under appropriate conditions they affected the solubility of the resulting paratartrates in such a way as to favor the crystallization of only one of the two forms that together compose the paratartrate. Although introduced by Pasteur only for the case of racemic acid, this new method clearly had wider applicability and was soon used to separate the left- and right- handed components in other ""racemic"" substances (substances inactive by compensation).""

In the offered form it is the first full treatment of his discoveries.""Pasteur came to the conclusion, on one hand, that all tartrates could be regarded as mutually isomorphic, but at the same time - based on Mitscherlich's work - that the sodium ammonium salts of both the tartaric and racemic acids also crystallized isomorphically, which in turn suggested that all racemic and tartaric salts would crystallice identically. An they do crystallice identically, albeit in a very special way Half the crystals of the racemic salts are characterized by a mirror-inverted form.""(Hans-Werner Schütt in ""Eilhard Mitscherlich"").""Another discovery of great importence was made by Pasteur. In 1844 Mitscherlich had stated that the crystals of sodium ammonium tartrate and sodium ammonium racemate were identical, although solutions of the former were found to be active but those of the latter were inactive. Since this statement was contrary to his views on the relation between crystalline form and optical activity, Pasteur examined these salts and found, it is true, that the crystals of the tartrate resembled the other tartrates which he had examined i possessing hemihedral faces arranges in a similar manner. The crystals which was obtained from a solution of the inactive racemate, at the ordinary temperature, were also found, contrary to expectation, to have hmihedral faces....""(Alexander Findley in ""A Hundred years of Chemistry"", p.59-60).It is related that Pasteur, on making this discovery, rushed from his laboratory and, meeting the lecture assistant in physicss, embraced him, exclaming: ""I have just made a great discovery! I have separated the sodium ammonium paratartrate into two salts of opposite action on the plane polarisation of light. The dextro-salt is in all rspects identical with the dextro-tartrate. I am so happy and overcome by suchnervous excitement that I am unable to place my eye again to the polariization apparatus."".Among other importent chemical papers the volume contains Gay-Lussac: Mémoire sur L'Eau Régale.

Pasteur soulève un problème auprès de son confrère Edmond Nocard : ...La lettre ci-jointe pose la question suivante : Un chien est mordu par un chien enragé ou très suspect de rage ; son propriétaire obligé de labattre a-t-il droit à dommages et intérêts vis-à-vis du propriétaire du chien mordeur...Edmond Nocard, 1850-1903, médecin vétérinaire et chef de service à lÉcole dAlfort, doit à sa rencontre avec Émile Roux son intégration dans le laboratoire de Louis Pasteur. Il est considéré comme le fondateur de la microbiologie vétérinaire. Ses nombreux travaux lui valurent de son vivant une reconnaissance internationale. Un genre bactérien fut dénommé Nocardia en son honneur. Il contribua aussi à une avancée médicale majeure qui eut lieu après sa mort, en fournissant à son élève Camille Guérin la souche de bacille tuberculeux bovin à lorigine du B.C.G.

First printing of these groundbreaking papers in Immunology where Pasteur describes his rabies vaccine and the results he attained with it gave further proof of the value of attenuated virus as a protective inoculum against infective diseases in man and animals. THIS IS CONSIDERED PASTEUR'S GREATEST TRIUMPH (Garrison & Morton No. 2541).""The central problem in establishing a science of immunology was to discover methods of lowering the pathogenicity of the antigens while preserving their immunogenicity. In the case of smallpox (Jenner) this was done, according to the accepted interpretation, by utilizing strains accidentally attenuated through animal passage. In the present paper famous paper (the first paper offered), Pasteur shows how, for a disease of wide distribution among mammals, attenuation may be accomplished artificially.""(Hall ""A Source Book in animal Biology"", pp. 528 ff.).""Pasteur revealed the enormous medical and economic potential of experimental biology. He himself developed only one treatment directly applicable to a human disease - his treatment for rabies - but his widely publicized and highly successful efforts on behalf of the germ theory were immediately credited with saving much money and many lives.

First printing of this landmark paper (published in full the year after in ""Mémoires de la Societe des Sciences, de l'Agriculture et des arts de Lille"" and in ""Annales de Chimie et de Physique"" (1858)), marking Pasteur's commencement of the study of fermentation. The offered paper was read in extract on the Séance du Lundi 30 Novembre). Here Pasteur found that lactic acid fermentation is due to small corpuscles of yeast cells, and thus carried out by living bacteria. He hereby ended the long controversy with Liebig, who insisted that fermentation was a purrely chemical phenomenon that did not involve living organisms. THE MEMOIR IS CONSIDERED THE FOUNDING PAPER OF MICROBIOLOGY.""Pateur's researches on fermentationm led him to the discovery of the bacteria and yeasts and hence to the germ theory of disease: FROM THIS ALL MODERN BACTERIOLOGY AND IMMUNIOLOGY DEVELOPED.""(Garrison & Morton, note to 2472).""There (at the University of Lille) he became interested in the problem of France's importent wine industry. Wine and beer often went sour as they aged and millions of francs were lost as a result. Wasn't there some chemical to prevent this ? In 1856 a Lille industrialist turned to the famous young chemist and put the problem to him. Pasteur agreed to tackle the matter and turned to the microscope. He found almost at once that when the wine and beer aged properly, the liquid contains little speherical globules of yeast cells. When wine and beer turn sour, the yeast cells are elongated. Clearly there are two types of yeast, one of which produces alcohol (good) and the other lactic acid (bad).

First printing of a these milestone papers which laid the foundations of immunology. Pasteur discovers the procedure for immunizing chicken against chicken cholera. Chickens injected with an old culture of chicken cholera microbes become sick briefly, but revive, and are henceforth immune to new virulent cultures.""This paper (the first paper offered) marked the beginning of Pasteur's work onthe attenuation of the infective organism. Noting that fowls inoculated with an attenuated form of the chicken cholera bacterium acquired immunity, he developed the idea of a protective inoculation by attenuated living cultures, and subsequently adopted this principle with anthrax, rabies, and swine crysipelas. His wotk laid the foundatuion of the sciencwe of immunology.""(Garrison & Morton No 2537).""In February 1880 (the first paper offered) Pasteur announced that although the fowl cholera microbe retained its virulence through successive cultures in chicken brothe, he had found a way of decreasing its virulence ""by certain changes in the mode of culture."" In this milder form the microbe usually produced disease, but not death, in chickens. More important, the chickens that recovered from this less virulent form of the microbe became relatively immune to the highly virulent from. Unlike ordinary chickens they did not die from an injection of the microbe in its usual form. In other words, Pasteur concluded, ""The disease is its own preventive. It has the character of the virus diseases, which do not recur. ""what gave this result special importance and novelty was the demonstrably microbial nature of fowl cholera."" (DSB).""In April 1880 he admitted that inoculation with the attenuated form of the fowl cholera microbe produced very different results in different hens, but he insisted that the procedure always conferred some benefit. Even when two or more inoculations were required for complete protection against the disease, each acted in some measure to impede its course. He emphasized that ""vaccinated"" chickens, as well as species naturally resistant to the disease, must represent cultural media somehow ill-suited for the development of the microbe and suggested that this immunity probably resulted from the absence of some substance essential to the life of the microbe.""

First printing of this landmark paper (published in full the year after in ""Mémoires de la Societe des Sciences, de l'Agriculture et des arts de Lille"" and in ""Annales de Chimie et de Physique"" (1858)), marking Pasteur's commencement of the study of fermentation. The offered paper was read in extract on the Séance du Lundi 30 Novembre). Here Pasteur found that lactic acid fermentation is due to small corpuscles of yeast cells, and thus carried out by living bacteria. He hereby ended the long controversy with Liebig, who insisted that fermentation was a purrely chemical phenomenon that did not involve living organisms. THE MEMOIR IS CONSIDERED THE FOUNDING PAPER OF MICROBIOLOGY.""Pateur's researches on fermentationm led him to the discovery of the bacteria and yeasts and hence to the germ theory of disease: FROM THIS ALL MODERN BACTERIOLOGY AND IMMUNIOLOGY DEVELOPED.""(Garrison & Morton, note to 2472).""There (at the University of Lille) he became interested in the problem of France's importent wine industry. Wine and beer often went sour as they aged and millions of francs were lost as a result. Wasn't there some chemical to prevent this ? In 1856 a Lille industrialist turned to the famous young chemist and put the problem to him. Pasteur agreed to tackle the matter and turned to the microscope. He found almost at once that when the wine and beer aged properly, the liquid contains little speherical globules of yeast cells. When wine and beer turn sour, the yeast cells are elongated. Clearly there are two types of yeast, one of which produces alcohol (good) and the other lactic acid (bad). Pasteur was the first to show definitely that fermentation involves living organisms and that it is necessary to supply the correct organism to provide the correct type of fermentation.""(Isaac Asimov).Dibner No. 198.
