---- EDITION ORIGINALE ---- BEL EXEMPLAIRE ---- En Français dans le texte N° 176 : "... Deux autres ouvrages remarquables jalonnent l'oeuvre de R.J. Hauy : le Traité de minéralogie publié en 1801 et le Traité de cristallographie..." ---- "This is the man who truly founded and developed the science of crystallography". (Hoover collection N° 391) ---- "In 1795, Hauy began teaching courses in physics and mineralogy at the Ecole des Mines and became a member of the newly founded Institut National des Sciences et des Arts, in the natural history and mineralogy section. In 1801, he published his main work, Traité de minéralogie, the first volume of which presented his crystal theory ; in the three subsequent volumes he expounded his system of mineral classification. In this work he revised the nomenclature of minerals". (DSB VI p. 178)**2601/ARM4

---- EDITION ORIGINALE ---- BEL EXEMPLAIRE ---- EX-LIBRIS Charles MONIER DE LA SIZERANNE ---- "Le but de cet ouvrage... est de présenter... le tableau de ma méthode minéralogique, retouché d'après les découvertes et les observations qui ont fait marcher la science vers sa perfection, depuis l'impression de mon Traité... J'avais d'abord résolu de me borner à donner le tableau de ma méthode. Mais j'ai bientôt senti qu'il manquerait un point essentiel à mon ouvrage, si je n'y faisais entrer les résultats des analyses des minéraux. Dans cette vue j'ai recueilli tout ce qui a paru depuis un certain nombre d'années sur la détermination des principes composants de ces êtres. Mes recherches à cet égard m'ont amené par degrés, à comparer les analyses, soit entre elles, soit avec les résultats de la cristallographie. Au milieu des réflexions que m'a suggérées ce parallèle, mon plan s'est étendu, et j'ai fini par concevoir l'idée de sous-diviser cet ouvrage en deux parties dont la première étant destinée à offrir le tableau de ma distribution méthodique des minéraux..., la seconde étant composée de notes qui se rapportent aux différentes espèces que présente le tableau. C'est là que j'expose les connaissances acquises sur la chimie des minéraux : là encore je motive les nouveaux rapprochements que j'ai faits de diverses substances dont je n'avais que pressenti l'identité, avant l'impression de mon ouvrage, ou sur lesquelles nous n'avions alors que des notions trop imparfaites, même pour entrevoir les analogies...". (Introduction) ---- "In 1795 Hauy began teaching courses in physics and mineralogy at the Ecole des Mines and became a member of the new founded Institut National des Sciences et des Arts... After the death of Dolomieu, He became in 1802 professor of mineralogy at the Muséeum d'Histoire Naturelle where he enlarged the mineral collection. In 1809 he was also appointed to the newly created chair of mineralogy at the Sorbonne. In his Tableau comparatif (1809) Hauy compared the results of the crystallographic and chemical determinations of mineral species. In his stubborn opposition to the notions of indefinite compounds, mixed crystals, isomorphism, and polymorphism Hauy showed that, despite his mild and pliable character, he was adamant when his deepest convictions were at stake... After establishing the foundation of his crystal theory, Hauy applied it to mineralogical classification. Both Romé de L'Isle and Hauy held that the characteristic form of the constituent molecule of a compound is due to the forms, the definite proportions, and the definite arrangement of the constituent elementary particles. That is, before Proust they proposed a priori the chemical law of fixed proportions. For Hauy the mineral species was defined by a geometrical type and a chemical type ; the crystallographic molecule and the chemical molecule were identical. Molecules of different species, except those of the isometric or regular system, have different forms and different composition. These ideas enabled Hauy to unite in one species minerals hitherto considered different, such as beryl and emerald, and to divide groups that had been considered varieties of the same species, such as zeolites. Hauy's survey to the results of crystallography and chemical analysis in relation to the classification of mineral (Tableau comparatif des résultats de cristallographie et de l'analyse chimique, relativement à la classification des minéraux, 1809) gave a detailed exposition of the successes and difficulties his method encountered. Chemical composition decided the four traditional classes in mineralogy and the orders and genera ; the form of the constituent molecule determined the species. Only with the formes limites were the physical properties and/or the chemical composition indispensable for definition of the species...". (DSB VI pp. 178/183)**2605/ARM2A

---- EDITION ORIGINALE ---- TIRE-A-PART (OFPRINT) des Annales des mines tome X (1876) ---- "A key figure in the french school of crystallography and a bridge from Bravais to Friedel, Mallard was described as having definitively displaced the center of gravity of crystallography that, thereafter, could not be cultivated as a descriptive science but was elevated to the rank of a rational science. Mallard's contributions in crystallography began in 1876, not long after he had assumed the chair of mineralogy at Paris, He took as his starting point the Etudes cristallographiques of Auguste Bravais. While Sohncke and later A. Schönfiles were developing Bravais's concept of a lattice of translationally equivalent pionts into a complete mathematical description of symmetry of crystals, Mallard independently developed other aspects of Bravais's theories. This work had its notable beginning the memoire Explication des phénomènes optiques anomaux, on optically anomalous crystals, in which the powerful new polarizing microscope showed the importance of twinning in these crystalline edifices and of pseudosymettry as an explanatory concept...".

---- EDITION ORIGINALE ---- BEL EXEMPLAIRE ---- EX-LIBRIS Charles MONIER DE LA SIZERANNE ---- "ROME DE L'ISLE'S LAW OF THE CONSTANCY OF INTERFACIAL ANGLES" ---- "Romé De l'Isle shares the honor of having helped to found the science of crystallography along with Haüy, Steno and a few others". (Hoover Collection) ---- "Romé's chief scientific goal was the establishment of mineralogy on a firm basis of crystallography. His major contribution toward this end was the formulation of the law of the constancy of interfacial angles which became the cornestone of crystallography. Although earlier investigators - including Hooke, Erasmus Bartholin, Steno, Huygens, Philippe de la Hire and Guglielmini - had made incidental statements about such a constancy in one or two substances, Romé and Carangeot were the first to enunciate it as a general law of nature... His major work, the Cristallographie (1783), was first advertised as a second edition of his Essai, but instead it was expanded and comprised three volumes and an atlas describing more than 450 crystal forms. In this book rather than using any physical basis, Romé followed both Linnaeus and Domenico Guglielmini in classifying crystals by arbitrary primitive formes. Each crystal described was measured precisely. In the course of making terracotta models, Romé's assistant, Arnould Carangeot, had discovered the fundamental law of the constancy of interfacial angles ; and, using a contact goniometer invented for the purpose, he had made measurements of the interfacial angles (exact to about half a degree) of each mineral that Romé listed. Both these aspects - the tabulation of primitive forms and the measurement of interfacial angles - were of central importance to Romé's crystallography...". (DSB XI pp. 520/523)**4551/ARB5
