(London, W. Bulmer and Co., 1813). 4to. No wrappers as extracted from "Philosophical Transactions" 1813 - Part II. Pp. 263-279. Clean and fine. First printing of an importent paper in the history of chemistry in which he decomposited ammonium salts by heated potassium."In 1812 Davy,,,,said that fluoboric acid and fluosilicic acid are 'compounds of a principle unknown in the separate state but analogous to chlorine, with silicium and boron', and 'the hydrofluoric acid is a compound of the same principle with hydrogene and water'. In 1813-14 ( 1813 the paper offered) Davy described his attempts to isolate the radical, which following a sugesstion by Ampere, he called fluorine.." (Partington IV, p.58)."Humphry Davy was one of the most brilliant chemists of the early nineteenth century. His early study of nitrous oxide brought him his first reputation, but his later and most importent investigations were devoted to electrochemistry. Following Galvani's experiments and the discovery of the voltaic pile, interest in galvanic electricity had become widespread. The first electrolysis by means of the pile was carried out in 1800 by Nicholson and Carisle, who obtained oxygen and hydrogen from water. Davy began to examine the chemical effects of electricity in 1800, and his numerous discoveries were presented in his Bakerian lectures." Another paper printed together with Davy's paper: John Pond: "Catalogue of North Pole Distances of Eighty-four principal fixed Stars, deduced from Observations made with the Mural Circle at the Royal Observatory.", pp. 280-304.

Determination of the temperature coefficient of molecular surface energy, therefore, were largely employed for the purpose of calculating the molecular weights, and therefrom the molecular complexity, of substances in the liquid state."(Findley "A Hundred years of Chemistry", p. 79).

First English edition of Avogadro's first printed paper (originally in Journal de Physique LXIII, 1806). It deals with electricity. "He considered the state of a nonconductor placed between two oppositely charged elementary layers. If there was air between two charged bodies, it would become charged. In the later terminology of Faraday the claim could be made that Avogadro had some conception of the polarization of dielectrics." (DSB).

København, Poppske Offisin, 1837. 8vo. Uncut and unopened in the original blue wrappers. Internally near mint. 12,56 pp. First Danish edition of Rask's 'Grammar of the Danish Language', translated by his half-brother H. K. Rask. This edition often appears with the variant title page stating: "R. K. Rasks / Danske Sproglære, / fra Engelsk oversat / og indrettet til Brug for Danske." The most significant difference between the two variants is the "K.", short for Kristian, in Rask's name. Due to his critical thoughts on Christianity, and religion altogether, Rask stopped using 'Kristian' as a middle name. Accordingly, it is reasonable to assume that the title page of the present copy is the second title page, added later as desired by H. K. Rask. Hjelmslev I, 211.
