‎---- PREMIERE EDITION FRANCAISE ---- BON EXEMPLAIRE ---- "Between 1838 and 1846, BUNSEN developed methods for the study of gases while he was investigating the industrial production of cast iron in Germany and, in collaboration with Lyon PLAYFAIR, in England... BUNSEN compiled his research on the phenomena of gases into his only book Gasometrische methoden (1857). This work brought gas analysis to a level of accuracy and simplicity reached earlier by gravimetric and titrimetric techniques. He presented methods of collecting, preserving and measuring gases ; techniques of eudiometric analysis ; new process for determining the specific gravities of gases ; results of investigations on the absorption of gases in water and alcohol using an absorptiometer he himself had devised ; and results of experiments on gaseous diffusion and combustion. On the problem of gaseous absorption, BUNSEN, assisted by several students, showed the experimental limits within which HENRY's law of pressures and DALTON's law of partial pressures are valid".
