First printing of the papers in which Vauquelin describes and announces his discovery of Beryllium.""The discovery of beryllium resulted from the Abbé Haüy's observation of the close similarity and probable identity of beryl and the emerald. At his suggestion Vauquelin made some very careful chemical analyses of these two minerals, and found in 1798 that they are indeed identical, and that they contain a new earth, which he named glucina, but which is now known as beryllia. The metal was isolated thirty years later by Wöhler and Bussy independently.....At the suggestion of the editors of the ""Annales de Chemie...."", he called the new earth 'glucina', meaning sweet.""

First printing of the papers in which Vauquelin describes and announces his discovery of Chromium. The first paper was simultaneously printed in Mem.de l'Institut. Because of its many coloured compounds Fourcroy and Haüy suggested the name 'chromium' for the new metal. (Greek, chroma-colour).In 1797, Vauquelin began his own studies of Siberian red lead. He was convinced that the mineral contained a new element. None of the elements then known could account for his results. He reported ""a new metal, possessing properties entirely unlike those of any other metal."" A year later, Vauquelin was able to isolate a small sample of the metal itself. He heated charcoal (nearly pure carbon ) with a compound of chromium, chromium trioxide (Cr 2 O 3 ). When the reaction was complete, he found tiny metallic needles of chromium metal.

Intertexts. Studies in Anglo-Saxon Culture Presented to Paul E. Szarmach,
Turnhout, Brepols, 2009 Hardback, XXXII+448 p., 175 x 255 mm. ISBN 9782503528939.
This collection of essays written by some of the most prominent scholars in the field honours Paul E. Szarmach by bringing together a range of studies relating to Anglo-Saxon literature and culture. As the title suggests, the main concern of the volume is the interconnectedness of a variety of texts, including literary, cultural, historical, scholarly, and ecclesiastical.
