(Paris, L'Imprimerie Royale, 1714). 4to. Without wrappers. Extracted from "Mémoires de l'Academie des Sciences. Année 1711". Pp. 210-234 and 1 engraved plate. Clean and fine. First edition. In this paper Geoffroy supported the views of Grew and others as to the sexes of plants and he here produced the first illustrations of pollen grains in the literature (the engraved plate). He states that the germ is never to be seen in the seed till the apices (anthers) shed their dust; and that if the stamina be cut out before the apices open, the seed will either not ripen, or be barren if it ripens. He mentions two experiments made by him to prove this one by cut ting off the staminal flowers in Maize, and the other by rearing the female plant of Mercurialis apart from the male. In these instances most of the flowers were abortive, but a few were fertile, which he attributes to the dust of the apices having been wafted by the wind from other plants.

First appearance of this classic paper in organic chemistry in which Wöhler and Liebig showed how Amygdalin could be decomposed by a vegetable emulsion, the first example of a glycoside."The conclusions which you have drawn from the investigation of bitter-almond oil," wrote Berzelius to Liebig and Wöhler, "are certainly the most importent which have so far been reached in the domain of vegetable chemistry, and give promise of shedding an unexpected light over this part of the science...The facts which you have set forth inspire such reflections that they may be regarded as the dawn of a new day in vegetable chemistry."(Berzelius-Wöhler Briefwechsel)."During the years that Liebig was preoccupied with the ether theory and with organic acids, he also carried out two importent investigations with Wöhler. In october 1836 Wöhler wrote that he had discovered a way to transform amygdalin to oil of bitter almonds and hydrocyanid acis, by distilling it with manganese and sulfuric acid, and he invited Liebig to join in pursuing the topic. Two days later he made a more remarkable discovery. It had occurred to him that perhaps thetransformation of amygdalin could be effected by the albumin in the almonds, in a manner similar to the action of yeast in sugar...Wöhler suspected that the decomposition was an example of what Berzelius had recently defined as catalysis. Liebig and Wöhler then divided up the detailed examination of the properties and composition of amygdalin. They precipitated from the emulsion of almonds a substance which when dissolved retain its action. They named the active substance "emulsion". Its effectiveness in very small quantities confirmed that it acted like yeast."(DSB VIII, p. 342).

Copenhague, Pierre Steinmann, 1794. Samt. helldrbd. i flammet kalv, rig rygforgyldning, skindtitel. (8),518,(2) pp. samt 6 kobberstukne plancher (E. Pauelsen inv. - C. Schule sculp.). Første franske udgave af Ove Malling: "Store og gode Handlinger". I modsætning til den danske original indeholder denne franske oversættelse illustrationer efter tegninger af Erik Pauelsen i Chodowickis stil. Illustrationerne viser personerne i en historisk scene med detailleret baggrund: Ansgar, C. Cornelisen, F. Bruun, H. Madsen, A. Colbiörnsen og Tordenskjold. - Scenen med Tordenskjold synes at være en af Pauelsen viderearbejdet udgave af et blad som Krohn (Krohn 769) beskriver således "Tordenskiold undviger de Svenske" Man ser Tordenskjold med Kaarden styrte sig i Havet, forfulgt af Svenske Dragoner" og han kalder raderingen ufulendt da den ikke har baggrund. Planchen her er med fuld udfyldt baggrund. - Bibl. Danica III:22.

The cosmological knowledge of the period was summarized and the most challenging problems were delineated, and he clearly declared his preference for the speculation that the spiral nebulae were other galaxies beyond our Milky Way, which was itself a spiral galaxy".
