Reference : 43321
(1832)
Untersuchungen über das Radical der Benzoésäure. (+) Untersuchungen über das Radical der Benzoésäure. (Schluss). 2 Parts. (Researches on the Radical of Benzoic Acid).
Leipzig, Johann Ambrosius Barth, 1832. Without wrappers as issued in ""Annalen der Physik und Chemie. Hrsg.von Poggendorff"", Bd. 26, Stück 2-3. Pp. 193-352 a. pp. 353-496 a. 3 folded engraved plates. (2 whole issues offered having titlepage to vol. 26).). Wöhler & Liebig papers: pp. 325-343 (2. issue) a. pp. 465-485 (3. issue). Both issues clean and fine.
First appearance (but also in ""Annalen der Chemie"") of these outstanding researches on the benzoyl radical. where the importence of ""radicals"" to organic chemistry is illustrated.""Along with his collegue, Friedrich Wöhler..who had already synthetized urea, Liebig wrote a famous paper (1832, the paper offered) in which he showed, for the first time, that a complex organic group pf atoms - a ""radicale"" as it is now called - is capable of forming a long series of compounds, behaving throughout as though it were an element. 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

Bildung der Cyansäure auf neuem Wege, und fernere Untersuchungen über die Cyansäure und deren Salze.
Leipzig, Johann Ambrosius Barth, 1823. 8vo. Contemp. hcalf. Gilt spine and with gilt lettering. Some scratches to spine. In: ""Annalen der Physik und der Physikalischen Chemie. Hrsg. Ludwig Wilhelm Gilbert"", Bd. 13 (= Bd. 73 der Reihe). (12),444 pp., 1 folded table and 5 engraved plates. Small stamp to verso of titlepages. Internally clean and fine. Wöhler's paper: pp. 157-172.
First printing of Wöhler's importent paper in which he in reality for the first time synthezised an organic substance, leading to his historic preparation of ""artificial"" urea in 1828 ""Ueber künstliche Bildung des Harnstoffs"". This broke down the old distinction between organic and inorganic substances. ""This was the first synthesis of an organic compound, and this accomplishment is generally regarded as the beginning of organic chemistry.""(Sparrow ""Milestones of Science"", p.37, the 1828 paper).""In his published paper (the 1828 paper) Wöhler referred to his work of 1823 (the offered paper), in which he had shown that cyanogen and aqueous ammonia yielded oxalic acid and a white crystalline solid that he now realized was urea. This, and his new method, he considered to be remarkable examples of the preparation ""by art"" of a substance of animal origin from inorganic materials.""(DSB).The volume contains other notable papers BECQUEREL: ""Ueber die Electricitäts-Erregung durc Druck, nach versuchen des herrn becquerel"" ein bericht abgestatt.... von Biot. Frei übersetzt von Gilbert"", pp. 117-129. A pioneer paper on Piezoelectricity.

Traité pratique d'analyse chimique
Paris, Gauthiers-Villars, 1865, , petit in-8 de XV, (3), 324 pages et 1 planche repliée, demi-chagrin vert de l'époque, dos à 5 nerfs, Première édition française, traduite sur la seconde allemande. Mais "l'édition française n'est pas une simple traduction, mais bien une édition nouvelle augmentée et corrigée par les soins de mes deux savants amis MM. Grandeau et Troost. Ils ont le mérite de lui avoir donné, par de nombreuses additions bien choisies et des figures instructives, une perfection que l'original allemand est bien loin d'atteindre", précise Wöhler dans sa préface. Wöhler est considéré, grâce à sa synthèse de l'urée (1828), comme le père de la chimie organique. Exemplaire du chimiste et minéralogiste Charles Friedel portant son ex-libris sur la page de titre.

Ueber künstliche Bildung des Harnstoffs.
Leipzig, Johann Ambrosius Barth, 1828. Without wrappers as issued in ""Annalen der Physik und Chemie. Hrsg.von Poggendorff"", Bd. 12, Zweites Stück. Pp. 161-336 (the entire issue offered (Heft 2) together with the titlepage to 12. Band). Wöhler's paper: pp. 253-256. Clean and fine, printed on good paper.
First appearance of this milestone paper, marking the beginnings of organic chemistry, in which Wöhler describes how he managed to synthezise urea from cyanate of ammonia. This broke down the old distinction between organic and inorganic substances. ""This was the first synthesis of an organic compound, and this accomplishment is generally regarded as the beginning of organic chemistry.""(Sparrow ""Milestones of Science"", p.37). The discovery destroyed the vitalistic theory which held that organic compounds could be produced only by living organisms, and led eventually to the brilliant results that have been achieved in attempts to synthesize other organic compounds.Dibner: Heralds of Science, no. 45. - Sparrow: Milestones of Science, no. 197. - Garrison & Morton, no. 671.

Ueber künstliche Bildung des Harnstoffs. - [THE BEGINNING OF ORGANIC CHEMISTRY]
(Leipzig, 1828). 8vo. Pages 253-56 extracted from volume 12 of Annalen der Physik und Chemie. Recent paper wrappers.
First edition of this foundation work of organic chemistry. The first synthetic preparation of an organic compound from inorganic materials. Wöhler's most important contribution to chemistry is his synthesis of urea by heating ammonium cyanate. This discovery destroyed the vitalistic theory which held that organic compounds could be produced only by living organisms, and led eventually to the brilliant results that have been achieved in attempts to synthesize other organic compounds. The work is generally regarded as being the beginning of organic chemistry. Dibner: Heralds of Science, no. 45. Sparrow: Milestones of Science, no. 197 Garrison & Morton, no. 671.
Sur la Formation artificielle de l'Urée.
(Paris, Crochard, 1828). 8vo. Without wrappers. Extract from 'Annales de Chimie et de Physique', Series 2 - Volume 37. Pp. 330-334.
First appearance in French of this milestone paper, marking the beginnings of organic chemistry, in which Wöhler describes how he managed to synthezise urea from cyanate of ammonia. The French version here is translated from the German paper ""Ueber künstliche Bildung des Harnstoffs."", which was issued the same year (1828). This broke down the old distinction between organic and inorganic substances. ""This was the first synthesis of an organic compound, and this accomplishment is generally regarded as the beginning of organic chemistry.""(Sparrow ""Milestones of Science"", p.37).

First appearance of an importent historical paper in chemistry.""Wöhler's analysis of cyanates appeared in 1824, (the paper offered), shortly after Liebig's analysis of fulminates. Gay-Lussac, then editor of the 'Annales de Chimie', noted that the analysis of cyanic and fulminic acid were identical - the first case of isomerism. This incident brought Wöhler and Liebig together, and there followed many years of collaboration in which the two studied the chemistry of benzaldehyde and numerous other compounds.""(Klickstein ""A Source in Chemistry.."", p. 309.Parkinson ""Breakthroughs"", 1823 C.
