First appearance of two importent papers in the physical theories of light and the atomic structure.""Sir John Herschel first noticed that sulpahte of quinine shows a blue colour when light is incident on it under certain circumstances"" later it was found that many other substances, if placed in a dark room and exposed to invisible radiations beyond the viloet end of the visible spectrum, emit a bluish or greenish light. To this phenomenon the name 'flourencence' was given by Stoken in 1852 (the paper offered), in a famous paper disclosing its true nature.""(Whittaker in ""A History of the Theores of Aether and Electricity"" Vol. I.p. 262).""However, long before the discovery of the electron made the compositeness of atoms explicit, the clearest signals that structure was called for came from spectra. Already in 1852, Stokes, in the importent memoir ""On the Change of Refrangibility of Ligh"" (to which Kelvin referred) had written. ""In all probability...the molecular vibrations by which...light is produced are not vibrations i which the molecules move among one another, but vibrations aming the constituent parts of the molecules themselves, performed by virtue of the internal forces which hold the parts of molecules together"". Please notice...at that time, the term 'molecule' often meant what we call 'atom'.""(Pais in""Inward Bound"", p. 175).

Saluberrime adversus pestilentiam observationes recens editae.
Maguntie [Mainz], Joannes Schöffer, 1517. In-4 de 46 pages, titre orné de gravures. Cartonnage de papier marbré noir (19ème). Ex-libris de la bibliothèque du docteur Georges Kloss, dont la vente eu lieu en 1835, réalisée par Sotheby, et qui contenait de très nombreux ouvrages en provenance de la bibliothèque du réformateur Mélanchthon.In-4 of 46 pages, title decorated with engravings. Original cased binding of black marbled paper (19th). Bookplate from the library of doctor Georges Kloss, the sale of which took place in 1835, carried out by Sotheby's, and which contained a large number of works from the library of the reformer Mélanchthon.
La page de titre est encadrée de gravures sur bois.The title page is framed with woodcuts. Né en 1476, l’auteur fit ses études médicales à Leipzig où il fut reçu docteur en 1511. Il fut ensuite nommé professeur de cette université. Il était fort instruit et devint l’ami d’Erasme, dont il existe plusieurs lettres adressées à Stromer(Dechambre, Dict. enc. des sc. méd. , série 3, vol. 12). Mais ce que Dechambre ne nous dit pas, c’est qu’il fut le fondateur du célèbre Auerbachs Keller à Leipzig en 1525, comptoir pour les étudiants dans la cave à vins de sa maison. Maison qu’il rasera et agrandira au profit de l’actuelle bâtiment qui date de 1531. Dans sa cave à vins, les affaires vont bon train, car en 1534 Heinrich Stromer paie un tiers des impôts sur le vin de toute la ville. C’est à l’Auerbachs Keller que Goethe sera inspiré par les peintures du lieu pour rédiger son Faust. L’établissement existe toujours aujourd’hui. L’ouvrage est dédié par l’auteur à Albrecht von Brandenburg, archevêque de Magdeburg, dont il était le médecin. Stromer gagna aussi par ses succès thérapeutiques l'estime du duc de Saxe qui le combla de bienfaits. On raconte que le médecin voulait de la gaieté chez ces malades “ et ne négligeait rien pour leur en inspirer ”. Il disait souvent que depuis quarante ans qu'il exerçait la médecine, il avait observé que la tristesse emportait plus de gens que toutes les espèces de morts violentes ensemble. Stomer mis ses principes en pratique et mourut gaiement vers 1552. Jean-Claude Morgolain in Coloquia Erasmia 1972.Born in 1476, the author studied medicine in Leipzig where he became a doctor in 1511. He was then named professor of this university. He was highly educated and became the friend of Erasmus, of whom there are several letters addressed to Stromer (Dechambre, Dict. Enc. Of sc. Med., Series 3, vol. 12). But what Dechambre does not tell us is that he was the founder of the famous Auerbachs Keller in Leipzig in 1525, a student counter in the wine cellar of his house. The house he razed and enlarged for the benefit of the current building dating from 1531. In his wine cellar, business was going well, because in 1534 Heinrich Stromer paid a third of the city's wine taxes. It was at Auerbachs Keller that Goethe was inspired by the local paintings to write his Faust. The establishment still exists today. The author dedicated the book to Albrecht von Brandenburg, Archbishop of Magdeburg, of which he was the doctor. Stromer also gained by his therapeutic success the esteem of the Duke of Saxony who overwhelmed him with benefits. It is said that the doctor wanted gaiety in his patients "and did not neglect anything to inspire them some". He often said that in the forty years that he had practiced medicine, he had observed that sadness killed more people than all kinds of violent deaths together. Stomer put his principles into practice and died happily around 1552. Jean-Claude Morgolain in Coloquia Erasmia 1972.

First appearance of Strohmeyer's account of his discovery of Cadmium. The history of its discovery was very complicated as some other laid claim to its discovery.Stromeyer was inspector general of apothecaries in Hannover. ""In 1817, fulfilling the duties of his office, he came across an apothecary's shop in which a bottle labeled zinc oxide contained zinc carbonate. Following this up, Stromeyer found himself interested in zinc carbonate, which turned yellow on strong heating as though it contained iron as an impurity, yet it contained no iron. He traced the yellow to an oxide not of zinc but of a hitherto unknown metal rather like it chemically. He named it cadmium for a zinc ore in which it is usually found accompanying the zinc.""(Asimov).Weeks ""Discovery of the Elements"", pp. 135-39.
