(1185-) 1267. (3 entire issues offered). Pasteur's papers: pp. 416-421, 734-740 a.1189-1194. First appearance of these importent papers in which Pasteur proved and concluded that putrefaction was, like fermentation caused by living organisms and they are, therefore, analogous processes, for both involve the decomposition of substatances of organisms living in the absence of air. He also here introduced the process of "PASTEURIZATION". The last paper is listed as PMM 336 (d).In these papers "he discovered other organisms that live without air and established the idea of aerobic and anaerobic life and first used these names (1863). Aerobes were only able to live in presence of free oxygen, whereas anaerobic or zymics, as he called them, grew in the absence of oxygen."(Bullocdh "The History of Bacteriology", p. 61).

(Paris, Mallet-Bachelier), 1860. 4to. No wrappers. In: "Comptes Rendus Hebdomadaires des Séances de L'Academie des Sciences", Tome 50, No 6 a. No 19, Tome 51, No 10 a. No 19. (4 entire issues offered). Pasteur's papers: pp. 303-307, 849-854 (tome 50), pp. 348-352, 675-678 (tome 51). First appearance of the suite of the 4 groundbreaking papers marking the downfall of the theory of spontaneous generation, and all of Pasteur's later work in this field can be seen as an extension, elaboration, and defence of the principles and methods set forth here. It is from these conclusions all modern bacteriology and immunology have developed. Pasteur was awarded the Zecker Price 1861 for these discoveries. "Pasteur's publications on the subject of spontaneous generation consists chiefly of communications to the Academy of Sciences in Paris and published in abstracts in the Comptes rendus. (the paper offered). In these communication he dealt with the collection and demonstration of erms in the air, the origin of ferments, the distribution of germs in nature, and many other questions. These reports were finally expanded in his famous "Memoire sur les corpuscules organisés qui existent dans l'atmosphere. Examen de la doctrine de génerations spontanées", which was published in 1861. (Bullocdh "The History of Bacteriology", p. 96).Printing and the Mind of Man No, 336 (b) - Garrison & Morton No. 2474.
