Zustand: very good. Paris : Ebrard, [1837?] Orig. hardcover binding. [4],430 pp. French text. Binding bit rubbed & worn on edges. Collection of notes, made by Bineau, of 11 lectures given at the College de France, between 16 april and 25 june 1836 by Jean Baptiste André Dumas (1800-1884). He was a French chemist, best known for his works on organic analysis and synthesis, as well as the determination of atomic weights (relative atomic masses) and molecular weights by measuring vapor densities. He also developed a method for the analysis of nitrogen in compounds. Dumas was one of the first to criticise the electro-chemical doctrines of Jöns Jakob Berzelius, which, at the time his work began, were widely accepted as the true theory of the constitution of compound bodies, and opposed a unitary view to the dualistic conception of the Swedish chemist.

Vol. I and II in printed boards, third volume in original printed wrappers with explanation and plates loosely laid in. Very good. RARE. FIRST EDITION of the atlas volumes of Jean Baptiste Andre Dumas' early large work on practical chemistry. "In its treatment of the matter, and especially its arrangement, this remained a model for many subsequent text-books on technology." Meyer. Originally appeared in eight octavo text volumes with a folio atlas containing 147 pates and 91 pages of explanatory text from 1828-1846. "His treatise contains an unusual amount of information on pure chemistry, mostly from original sources (references to which are given fully), and on technical processes (collected with considerable trouble) not otherwise accessible, with valuable diagrams of industrial apparatus." - Partington. Jean Dumas co-founded the Annales des sciences naturelles and the Ecole Centrale des Arts et Manufactures. He was appointed assistant professor at the Sorbonne, and became full professor in 1841, remaining until his retirement in 1868. From 1840 Dumas was an editor of Annales de chimie et de physique.

Jean Baptiste André Dumas. Die Philosophie der Chemie. Vorlesungen gehalten im Collége de France. Gesammelt von Amand Bineau, und ins Deutsche übertragen von Carl Friedrich Rammelsberg (1813-1899). Bei C. G. Lüderitz. Berlin 1839. Deutsche Erstausgabe. VIII, 387 S. Späteres Halbleinen (20,5 x 13,5 cm) mit verstärkten Leinen-Ecken sowie Rückentitel in Golddruck. Zustand: Einband etwas beschabt. Das Buch weist einen Wasserschaden auf: Vom Titelblatt bis circa S. 42 ist das Papier vor allem im Kopf- und Seitensteg abnehmend wasserfleckig. Danach ist es durchgehend an gleicher Stelle wasserfleckig jedoch weiter abnehmend und schwächer. Zwischen circa S. 43 und S. 126 finden sich zudem Knickspuren und -falten (siehe dazu auch die Photos). Es liest sich meiner Meinung nach schlimmer als es ist. Das Buch ist trotz der beschriebenen Mängel immer noch ein gutes Arbeitsexemplar. ? Jean-Baptiste André Dumas (1800-1884) war ein französischer Chemiker. Sprache: de 392 Gramm.…

The paper: pp. (991-) 1008. A bit of marginal soiling and some creasing to leaves. First appearance of the paper which states the correct weight of the carbon atom. This research had profound influence on the development of organic chemistry. The paper in full was published the year after (1841) in "Annales de Chimie et de Physique"."From 1840 onward he carried out an important revision of the atomic weights of thirty elements. His most valuable contribution in this field was his very precise determination of the atomic weight of carbon (jointly with his pupil Stas) in 1840. A previously accepted weight, determined by Berzelius as C = 12.20 (O = 16), was shown to be incorrect. Dumas proved that C = 12±.002 (O = 16) or C = 75 (O = 100). The analysis was made by burning diamond and artificial and natural graphite in oxygen" the carbon dioxide formed was weighed in potash solution. The results were in close agreement. The "new" weight of carbon had a great effect on the progress of organic chemistry."(DSB).…

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).…

The elements could be divided into 'natural families'.

In the second paper Stas and Dumas record the first use of 'potash-lime', the precursor of soda-lime, an invaluable reagent in organic chemistry."Jean Baptiste Dumas advances a theory that the chemical properties of an organic compound are determined by its structure and not, as seems to be the case with inorganic compounds, by its electrical properties. he illustrates the concept with the example that the basic qualitative properties of acetic acid are retained even after replacing three fourths of the hydrogen by chlorine. As a consequence, he calls for a revision of chemical nomenclature for organic compounds, basing terms on common features, not on elemental composition."(Parkinson "Breakthroughs" 1840 C).…

First Edition "Examen du sang et de son action dans led divers phénomènes de la vie. Par J.L. Prevost, M.D., et J.-A. Dumas, Elève en Pharmacie, membre de la Société de Physique et d' Histoire naturelle de Genève. (Tiré de la Bibliothèque universelle avec quelques abréviations.)." Jean-Louis Prévost (1790-1850) & Jean Baptiste André Dumas (1800-1884) are reporting the "First successful use of defibrinated blood for animal transfusion. This was the first attempt to prevent coagulation during transfusion" G&M Species Determination of Blood - Obsolete Methods : "Before 1900, species determination of dried blood was an extremely difficult problem. In general, the problem was approached by attempting to measure the average size of a statistically significant number of blood cells recovered from a stain. Quite apart from the intrinsic difficulties of such measurements and the fact that red blood cell sizes among many mammalian species are very similar, the entire approach rested on the faulty assumption that intact red cells, identical to the original ones, could be recovered from dried stains. Prevost and Dumas, in 1821, first pointed out the apparent size differences, and the subject was subsequently pursued by many workers engaged in bloodstain examination, who conducted extensive studies on the subject.
