‎Observations on different Kinds of Air. By Joseph Priestley, LL.D.F.R.S. (+) An Account of further Discoveries in Air (+) Observations on Respiration, and the Use of the Blood (+) Experiments relating to Phlogiston, and the seeming Conversion of Wate... - [PMM 217 - THE DISCOVERY OF OXYGEN]‎

‎London, Lockyer Davis, 1772, 1775, 1776 & 1783. 4to. In recent marbled paper wrappers. Extracted from ""Philosophical Transactions"". Including title-page of volume. Most leaves reinforced in margin. Light offsetting from folded plates as usual. Plate depicting the full telescope with professional repair to lower right corner. Pp. (4), 147-264, 383-394, 225-248, 397-434.‎


‎First edition of Priestley's landmark paper on pneumatic chemistry. In this present work, which marked an new epoch in the history of chemistry, he announced the discovery of hydrochloric acid and nitric oxide, as well as the discovery that plants restored air that had been vitiated by combustion, putrefaction, and respiration. Priestley's 'contribution to the knowledge of gases were crucial. He improved the technique for studying them by collecting them over mercury instead of water, so that many more gases could be observed.His many chemical discoveries contributed to the ""chemical revolution""' (PMM)""The paper here, for which the Royal Society awarded Priestley the Copley medal announced the discovery of hydrochloric acid and nitric oxide and the use of the latter in measuring the purity of air, which led through the work of Cavendish, Fontana and others to exact eudiometry. Priestley also observed that plants consume carbon dioxide and gave out oxygen, thereby purifying air which has been vitiated by combustion, respiration and putrefaction, and that this action takes place only under daylight."" (Printing and the Mind of Man No. 217).""In this paper he also announced two new gases that he had obtained - nitrous oxide and carbonic oxide"" these won him the Royal Society's Copley medal. Two years later his experiments in heating red oxide of mercury produced ""dephlogisticated air"" which was announced in 1775 and identified by Lavoisier as oxygen."" (Dibner Heralds of Science No. 40).The work contains a proposal to saturate water with carbonic acid under either atmospheric or increased pressure, which led to the creation of the mineral-water industry.The Centenary of the discovery of oxygen was celebrated at Priestley's American home at Northumberland, Pennsylvania, and was followed in 1876 by the foundation of the American Chemical Society.

‎First edition of this important tract, which marked an epoch in the history of chemistry. As it is Priestley's first extensive work on Gases, it foreshadowed his identification of Oxygen.""The paper here, for which the Royal Society awarded Priestley the Copley medal announced the discovery of hydrochloric acid and nitric oxide and the use of the latter in measuring the purity of air, which led through the work of Cavendish, Fontana and others to exact eudiometry. Priestley also observed that plants consume carbon dioxide and gave out oxygen, thereby purifying air which has been vitiated by combustion, respiration and putrefaction, and that this action takes place only under daylight.""

‎Expériences et observations sur différentes branches de la physique, avec une continuation des observations sur l'air.‎

‎A Paris, chez Nyon l'ainé, 1782-1783. 3 volumes in-12, xxiv-288; 312; xxiv-527p. Reliures plein veau caillouté, dos lisses ornés de fleurons dorées, pièces de titre et de tomaison en maroquin rouge, tranches rouges, gardes marbrées.‎


‎Ouvrage traduit de l'anglois par M. Gibelin. Edition originale française bien complète des 2 planches gravées dépliantes, une en fin du premier et une en fin du troisème volume. Un 4e tome paraitra en 1787. Minime accroc à la coiffe du second volume, sinon exemplaire en excellente condition.Joseph Priestley (1733-1804) est considéré comme l'un des fondateurs de la chimie moderne par ses contributions à l'expérimentation. Il fut encouragé à publier son Histoire de l'électricité par le scientifique et homme d'État Benjamin Franklin, qu'il avait rencontré en 1766. Priestley découvrit entre autres que le charbon de bois conduit l'électricité. En 1767, il se rendit compte que l'électrisation des conducteurs reste superficielle. La même année, il devint pasteur à Leeds, dans le Yorkshire, où il commença à s'intéresser à la recherche dans le domaine des gaz. Grâce à son travail expérimental novateur, il fut élu à l'Académie des sciences en 1772, année où il publia ses Observations sur différentes espèces d'air. Sa plus grande contribution est l'isolement de l'oxygène en 1774.‎
