‎---- PREMIERE EDITION FRANCAISE ---- "MEYER had attended the 1860 Karlsruhe Congress, where he heard Cannizzaro and read his paper on the use of AVOGADRO's hypothesis and the law of DULONG and PETIT in establishing atomic weights and formulas... MEYER's Moderne Theorie was a direct outcome of that experience. In a brief obituary in 1895 the book was described as "not especially well received at first, but as years passed it exerted a more and more powerful influence on the thoughts of chemists. From a flimsy pamphlet it grew to a stately volume and it has generally been recognized as the best presentation of the fundamental principles of chemistry until the physicochemical movement began". (DSB IX pp. 347/353) ---- "Lothar MEYER's book, Die modernen Theorie der Chemie, is an extraordinarily clear statement of the fundamental principles of chemistry, which had a great influence". (Partington IV p. 889)**36730/3673/o7de‎
