paperback. Zustand: New. In shrink wrap. Looks like an interesting title.

Soft cover. Zustand: Near Fine. Pp. 221-415, [viii], 8vo, tan wrapper with yapp edges. A literary quarterly edited by T. S. Eliot during its entire run from October 1922 until it ceased publication in January 1939 ("Perhaps one of the most influential critical reviews of its day," Miller-Price 45). Contents include: an essay by Yeats (his footnote informs the reader that "The Irish periodical, which has hitherto published my occasional comments on Irish events, explained that this essay would endanger its existence. I have therefore sought publication elsewhere.-W.B.Y."); an essay by Forster, a poem by MacLeish, and a short story by Moncrieff. Also with book reviews by Richard Aldington, John Shand, Herbert Read, T. S. Eliot, Edith Sitwell, and others. A near-fine well-preserved copy overall; contents clean; wrapper yapp edges folded over over the edges as usual, a few small droplet stains to a corner of upper wrapper and textblock edge, some faint dust-soiling. …

(Paris, Mallet-Bachelier), 1858. 4to. No wrappers. In: "Comptes Rendus Hebdomadaires des Séances de L'Academie des Sciences", Tome 46, No 24. Pp. (1121-) 1173 (entire issue offered). Couper's paper: pp. 1157-1160. A faint dampstain to right margins. First appearance of this milestone announcement in organic chemistry - a longer memoir was published in "Annales de Chimie et de Physique" later in the same year, 1858 - in which, independently of Kekulé, Couper introduces the CONCEPT OF BONDS (represented as a dash or a dotted line) in chemistry and also observes the very importent fact, that carbon atoms forms the backbone of organic compounds."It was not till 1858 that a satisfactory theory of molecular constitution was advanced, simultaneously and endependently, by thwo young chemists, Friedrich August Kekulé and Archibald Scott Couper. The theory of molecular constitution put foreward.by Couper and Kekulé rested on two main postulates, the quadriivalency of carbon.and the capacity of the carbon atom for mutual linking or combining together to form a carbon "chain". By this hypothesis of the mutual linking together of carbon atoms - which waslater confirmed by experiment - it was possible to explain the formation of organic compounds containing a large number of carbon atoms. On the foundation of their postulates two postulates, moreover, (they) showed how the molecular constitution or mutual linking together of the atoms of a compound could be represented diagrammatically and the relstions between different compounds made readily intelligible. In his classic paper "On a New Chemical Theory" (the paper offered here in its first appearance) advanced beyond Kekulé by representing the constitutions of the compounds by means of GRAPHIC FORMULA in which, as at the present day, the valencies pf the atoms are represented by lines.his formulae are similar to those at present in use."(Findlay pp. 34 ff)"The theory of Kekulé and Couper gave the chemists the maeans of solving the problems of chemical constitution" and by means of the graphic or constitutional formulae it became possible to represent the molecular constitution of known compounds and to foresee the possible existence of isomeric compounds."(Findlay).Parkinson "Breakthroughs" 1858 C.…

Paris, Victor Masson, 1858. 8vo. Contemp. hcalf, raised bands, gilt spine. Light wear along edges. Small stamps on verso of titlepage. In: "Annales de Chimie et de Physique", 3e Series - Tome 53. 512 pp. a. 2 folded engarved plates.(The entire volume offered). Couper's paper: pp. 469-489. Some scattered brownspots. First appearance of this milestone paper in organic chemistry - a shorter note was published in Comptes Rendus in June 1858 - in which, independently of Kekulé, Couper introduces the CONCEPT OF BONDS (represented as a dash or a dotted line) in chemistry and also observes the very importent fact, that carbon atoms forms the backbone of organic compounds."It was not till 1858 that a satisfactory theory of molecular constitution was advanced, simultaneously and endependently, by thwo young chemists, Friedrich August Kekulé and Archibald Scott Couper.

Here he prsents his review of his work in organic chemistry during the previous ten years. "In his conclusion Berthelot argued that chemistry differed from a descriptive science such as natural history by being creative and that in this it resembled the mathematical sciences."(DSB).…
