‎First appearence of this historical chemical paper, Davy' fifth Bakerian Lecture, in which he announced his discovery of hydrogen telluride.""Mr. Davy having from the commencement of his electro-chemical researches, communicated the several steps of his progress to the Society (The Royal Society), takes the present opportunity of reporting the results of his further inquiries under four principal heads. First, on the nature of the metals of the fixed alkalis. Second, on the nature of Hydrogen and composition of ammonia. Thirdly, on the metals of the earth"" and Fourthly he makes a comparison between the antiphlogistic doctrine, and a modified phlogistic hypothesis.""(Abstract). He further gives arguments for considering potassium and sodium, which he discovered in 1808, as a element.""Humphry Davy was one of the most brilliant chemists of the early nineteenth century. His early study of nitrous oxide brought him his first reputation, but his later and most importent investigations were devoted to electrochemistry. Following Galvani's experiments and the discovery of the voltaic pile, interest in galvanic electricity had become widespread. The first electrolysis by means of the pile was carried out in 1800 by Nicholson and Carisle, who obtained oxygen and hydrogen from water. Davy began to examine the chemical effects of electricity in 1800, and his numerous discoveries were presented in his Bakerian lectures."" - Wheeler Gift: 2518.Also with William Hyde Wollaston ""The Croonian Lecture. Read November 16, 1809.(On Muscular Action - On Sea-Sickness - On the salutary Effects of Riding, and other Modes of Gestation). Pp. 1-15. ‎

‎First German translation of Davy's announcement (the announcement on 1 page) of his discovery of the unusual, anaesthetic, effects of nitrous oxide which, on being inhaled, gave rise to a giddy, intoxicated feeling. On announcing his discovery he says, that he will publish a paper discribing the experiments with the gas, later. This is the paper offered here, also in the first German version. Both the announcement and the paper were issued in the ""Annalen"" the same year as they appeared in Nicholson's Journal.The gas was first synthesized by English natural philosopher and chemist Joseph Priestley in 1772, who called it phlogisticated nitrous air.""Following Priestley's discovery, Humphry Davy of the Pneumatic Institute in Bristol, England, experimented with the physiological properties of the gas, such as its effects upon respiration. He even administered the gas to visitors to the institute, and after watching the amusing effects on people who inhaled it, coined the term 'laughing gas'! Davy even noted the anaesthetic effects of the gas: ""As nitrous oxide in its extensive operation appears capable of destroying physical pain, it may probably be used with advantage during surgical operations in which no great effusion of blood takes place"".(Wikipedia).""Davy discovered the anaesthetic properties of nitrous oxide and suggested its use during surgiical operations, a suggestion which was not turned to useful account until 1844.""(Garrison & Morton, 5646, not mentioning the announcing of its discovery in 1799).‎

‎First printing of an importent paper in the history of chemistry in which he decomposited ammonium salts by heated potassium.""In 1812 Davy,,,,said that fluoboric acid and fluosilicic acid are 'compounds of a principle unknown in the separate state but analogous to chlorine, with silicium and boron', and 'the hydrofluoric acid is a compound of the same principle with hydrogene and water'. In 1813-14 ( 1813 the paper offered) Davy described his attempts to isolate the radical, which following a sugesstion by Ampere, he called fluorine.."" (Partington IV, p.58).""Humphry Davy was one of the most brilliant chemists of the early nineteenth century. His early study of nitrous oxide brought him his first reputation, but his later and most importent investigations were devoted to electrochemistry. Following Galvani's experiments and the discovery of the voltaic pile, interest in galvanic electricity had become widespread.
