And pp. 458-461. First German editions of these importent papers on Dalton's theory of gases. The year "1804 was notable chiefly for controversy over the mixed gases theory and particularly over its denial of weak chemical affinity forces. Continuing criticism of the theory - and the failure of particle weight studies to provide the hoped-for clinching evidence - caused Dalton to revise his ideas on mixed gases during the course of 1805."

Berlin, Julius Springer, 1927. 8vo. Entire volume 45 of "Zeitschrift für Physik" bound in a black contemporary half cloth with gilt lettering to spine. Library stamp to free front end-paper. An overall fine and clean copy. Pp. 751-765; 766-775. [Entire volume: VII, (1), 910 pp.]. First publication of Jordan and Klein's influential paper (the first mentioned) which contributed to the close connection between quantum fields and quantum statistics, today known as Jordan-Klein matrices. "Born, Heisenberg, and Jordan had indicated, and Dirac had demonstrated, the close connection between quantum fields and quantum statistics. Second quantization guarantees that photons obey Bose-Einstein statistics. What about other particles which obey Bose-Einstein statistics? The year 1927 was not over before Jordan and Klein addressed this question [in the present paper]." (Pais, Inward bound. p. 338).Jordan and Klein found that "one can quantize just as well the non-relativistic Schroedinger equation. In honor of these contributions the matrices have been named Jordan-Klein matrices." (Ibid. p. 339). The second paper, "Über Wellen und Korpuskeln in der Quantenmechanik", "contained several other formal and mathematical generalizations, but its main practical value is that, in the newly established theory of the 'quantized wave field', the fluctuations in the Bose case now satisfied all requirements following from Einstein's light-quantum treatment of 1924 and 1925."

If I all it a new force it is not my meaning that it is independent of the electrochemical relations of matter, but on the contrary I can only assume that it is a special kind of manifestation of these. So long as its nature and relations are unknown it will be convenient to considerit a new force, and to give it a name."(Berzelius).Parkinson "Breakthroughs", 1836 C.The issue contains furthermore two importent papers by the founder of modern organic cemeistry, Auguste Laurent "Sur l'Acide Naphtalique et ses Combinaisons", pp. 113-125 and "Théorie des Combinaisons Organiques", pp. 125-151.Laurent: A founder of modern organic chemistry, Laurent was one of the most important chemists of the nineteenth century.
