First appearance of these importent papers by the discoverer of oxygen. ""In 1785, Scheele revised his views on the nature of air and fire (the papers offered) as a result of Lavoisier's observations on the increase in weight on burning phosphorus in air. He says he had also often observed the formation of water on the explosion of a mixture of inflammable air (hydrogen) and fire air in a bottle, but had thought that the moisture was in the gases (as Priestly had done in 1781....(Parkinson III:p.228). ""It is only the exact observation of Lavoisier which had helped me out of the dream..""(Scheele).

First appearance of this paper, by the discoverer of oxygen, which deals with the connection of sulphur and air, showing that ""in thoroughly dry air no pyrophorus takes fire"" moisture must meet with it"", an he notices that metals combine with sulphur in absence of air, with evolution of heat and light. - Parkinson III:p.227.

Edition originale française, traduite par le Baron de Dietrich. Introduction par Tobern Bergman, professeur de chimie et de pharmacie. Une planche dépliante avec 5 figures. Notes du traducteur en fin de volume. Reliure en pleine basane blonde d'époque marbrée. Dos lisse orné de 5 fleurons caissonnés. Pièce de titre de maroquin brun. Coiffe de queue légèrement élimée en partie. Un accroc le long du mors supérieur. Coins émoussés. Ouvrage dans lequel Scheele démontre la découverte de l'oxygène dans l'air, découverte qui fut faite indépendamment de celle de Joseph Priestley. L'auteur observe qu'il se trouve deux gaz dans l'air dont l'un est sensible à la combustion. Scheele cherche également à analyser à l'aide de plusieurs expériences décrites les implications de la composition de l'air pour la respiration, le sang, et la croissance des plantes. - Photos sur www.Edition-originale.com -
