Ueber die von den Thorverbindungen und einigen andern Substanzen ausgehende Strahlung.
Berlin, J.A. Barth, 1898. No wrappers. In ""Annalen der Physik"", Neue Folge Band 65, No 5. Pp. 1-240.. (Entire issue offered, No.5). Titlepage to vol. 65. Stamp on titlepage. Schmidt's paper: pp. 141-151, textillustr. A tear to inner lower corners of pp. 24-32. (not affecting Schmidt's paper). Clean and fine.
First printing of Schmidt's full exposition, in which he describes his discovery of the radioactivity of Thorium. Schmidt and Marie Curie independently demonstrated the radioactive quality, but Schmidt's demonstration took place a few months before Curie's. The discovery was announced, but not described in full, in a short message published in ""Verhandl. d. Phys. Gesellsch. zu Berlin, 1898.""Schmidt made his discovery while examining ""many elements and compounds"" in an effeort to determine whether any of the rays that were emitted bore a resemblance to those that Henri becquerel had found emerging from uranium and uranium compounds. He located only one such element, thorium, and immediately conducted absorption, ionization, reflection, refradction, and poklarization studies to determine the characteristics of its rays. Having combined a misinterpretation of Becquerel's with one of his own, Schmidt concluded that thorium rays most resembled Röntgen rays - a conclusion that soon required revisoln in view of the researches of Marie Curie and Ernest Rutherford.""(DSB XII, p. 191.

SCHWANN, THEODOR. - ANTICIPATING PASTEUR - DISCOVERING THE YEAST CELL.
Reference : 43163
(1837)
Vorläufige Mittheilung, betreffend Versuche über die Weingährung und Fäulniss"
(Leipzig, Johann Ambrosius Barth, 1837). Without wrappers. In ""Annalen der Physik und Chemie. Hrsg. von J.C. Poggendorff"", Band 41 No. 5 (= Erstes Stück). 224 pp.(entire issue offered). Schwann's paper: pp. 184-193. Clean and fine.
First printing of Schwann's milestone paper on fermentation and putrefaction in which he shows that is is not air as such that brings about putrefaction in a meat extract but something in the air, which could be destroyed by heat. The ""substances "" present in air is germs or seeds of moulds and infusoria, and he explains putrefaction as the action of these germs on access to organic material. He further demonstrates that it is the living nature of the agent that creates fermentation, and he presents new evidence for the nature of fermentation. ""Schwann was lead to the idea that alcoholic fermentation was related to the metabolism of yeast by his conception that putrefaction was related to the metabolism of live organisms.""(DSB XII, p. 242).""(Schwann) concluded that the processes of putrefaction and fermentation were probably similar in their essence and were due to live agents which obtaineed their sustenance from the fermentible or putrescible materials. It was in the course of these experiments that Schwann discovered and gave an accurate acoount of the yeast plant and its mode of reproducing by budding. In his paper (the paper offered) he anticipated Pasteur's work when he asserted that fermentation of sugar was a chemical decomposition brought about by yeast attacking the sugar and some nitrogen containing substance necessary for its life whereby the elements not used by yeast itself unite to form alcohol. This classical research by him was described by him as 'preliminary' (vorläufige) and at the end of it he promised to return to it. This he did, to a certain extent in his ""Mikroskopische Untersuchungen"" (1839 - PMM 307 b), and he added new experiments to confirm his view that alcoholic fermentation is due to the activity of the yeast plant.""(Bulloch ""The History of Bacteriology"", pp. 86-87).Schwann gives the ""proof that putrefaction is produced by living bodies. Independently of Cagniard-Latour, Schwann discovered the yeast cell. He is regarded as the founder of the germ theory of putrefaction and fermentation.""(Garrison & Morton No. 674).

First appearance of an importent paper in the history of biology, in which Schwann describes his discovery and isolation of pepsin, the substance in the stomach that aids digestion of eggwhite. It is the FIRST KNOWN ANIMAL ENZYME. The paper appeared at the same time in ""Archiv für Anatomie, Physiologie und Wissenschaftliches Medicin""Theodor Schwann (1810-1882) was a great German physiologist, pathologist, and experimenter. One of the founders of the cell doctrine and of the idea of the living nature of yeast. Born at Neuss, near Düsseldorff. A catholic, educated in the Jesuit Gymnasium in Cologne. Intended for the church but took to medicine. He was a pupil of Johannes Müller and a collegueand lifelong friend of J. Henle, the anatomist. In Berlin Schwann was Johannes Müller's assistent for five years, and it was then that he discovered pepsin in 1836 (the paper offered).Parkinson ""Breakthroughs"" 1836 B.The issue contains other importent papers by Seebeck, Matteucci, Marchand, G.

First printing of this pioneer paper introducing the concept of NEURAL NETWORKS and initiating the ""NEURON DOCTRINE"".""His early histological work on the nerves of the jellyfish Aurelia aurita led to his very early promotion of the idea that nerve cells are structurally and functionally independent units.... This later became known as the ‘neuron doctrine’... Schäfer was led to study the structure of the subumbrellar nervous plexus in Aurelia aurita. He found that each nerve fiber was distinct from and nowhere structurally continuous with any other"" he thought it reasonable to assume fiber-to-fiber transmission from ""inductive action,"" possibly electric, the result being the same as if there were a real network.""(DSB).
