‎First German version of an importent early paper, the first by Avogadro wholly devoted to chemistry. The original paper, in French, appeared under the title ""Idées sur l’acidité et l’alcalinité"" in 1809.""Avogadro published his first article dealing only with chemistry in 1809. This memoir, on acids and alkalies, is interesting for several reasons. In the first place it illustrates his abiding concern with chemical affinity and incidentally the great influence exerted on him by Berthollet. Second, in the opening paragraph, which criticizes the oxygen theory of acidity, it illustrates his radical approach to post-Lavoisier chemistry. He postulated a relative scale of acidity in which oxygen and sulfur were placed toward the acid end of the scale, neutral substances in the middle, and hydrogen at the alkali end. A significant feature of this scale was that it was continuous. Avogadro would not allow any absolute distinctions. He was not, for example, prepared to agree with Berzelius that oxygen was absolutely electronegative. Davy, in 1807, had suggested a connection between acidity and alkalinity and electricity"" Avogadro developed this idea. Another feature of Avogadro’s interests found in this memoir is the subject of nomenclature. He was to give more detailed attention to this in the 1840’s. (DSB).The volume contains many other importent paper e.g. William Herscel ""Beobactungen über die Gestalt des Saturns"", La Place ""bemerkungen über den Ring des saturns, in beziehung auf die widersprechenden Beobachtungen Herschel's und Schröter's über denselben"", Georg Simon Klügel ""Angabe eines möglichst vollkommenden achromatischen Doppel-Objectivs... achromatischer Fernröhre"" with further 2 papers on the same by Klügel.‎

‎First printing of this paper in which Avogadro analyzed the connection between specific heats and atomic weights of chemical compounds and liquids after Dulong and Petit has announced their discovery of a relationship between heats and atomic weights of substances (the Law of Petit & Dulong).

‎First French version of this importent paper which was published, in full in Italian the year after (1846) in ""Memoria della Reale Acad. della Scienze"" vol. 8 (1846). He proves here forthe first time, that atomic volume is greater for the more electropositive elements.""Toward the end of his life Avogadro devoted a total of four memoirs to the subject of atomic volumes. In the first (1843) he pointed out the connection with his classic memoir of 1811 - the mean distance between the molecules of all gases is the same under the same conditions of temperature and pressure. In 1824 he had read to the Turin Academy a memoir in which he had pointed out that the atomic volumes (i.e., the volume occupied by the molecule together with its surrounding caloric) of all substances in the liquid or solid state would be the same if it were not for certain factors and in particular the different affinities of bodies for caloric. But the latter factor was directly related to the electronegativity of the element. Comparing the densities of the elements with their atomic weights, he now concluded that the distances between the molecules of solids and liquids, and consequently their volumes, were greater, and hence their densities compared with their atomic weights were less as the body became more electropositive. Alternatively expressed, the atomic volume (atomic weight/density) is greater for the more electropositive elements, and this is now accepted.""(DSB).The issue contains also R. Piria ""Recherches sur la Salicine"", pp. 257-301.‎

‎In 1819 Dulong and Petit announced that there was a simple relationship between specific heats and atomic weights. Although they suggested that their law might be extended to compounds, it was F. E. Neumann who, in 1831, first applied the law practically to solid compounds. Avogadro, who began his research in this field in 1833 (in the paper offered), ivestigated both liquids and solids.He decided that the formula of a compound in the liquid or solid state could not be the same as that in the gaseous state. He therefore introduced the arbitrary division of molecules and considered, for example, that a molecule of water or ice contained only a quarter as many atoms as one of steam.(DSB).Also with Eilhard Mitscherlich ""Sur le Rapport de la Densité des gaz à leur poids atomiques"", pp. 5-41, textillustr. and his ""Sur la Benzine et les Acides des Huiles et de Stároptes"", pp. 41-59.‎

‎First English edition of Avogadro's first printed paper (originally in Journal de Physique LXIII, 1806). It deals with electricity. ""He considered the state of a nonconductor placed between two oppositely charged elementary layers. If there was air between two charged bodies, it would become charged. In the later terminology of Faraday the claim could be made that Avogadro had some conception of the polarization of dielectrics."" (DSB).‎
