‎First editions, off-prints, of all four papers, which together constitute the first printed results of radiocarbon dating, based on samples gathered by Libby and his co-workers. It was due to this discovery, which revolutionized the practice of archaeology and other branches of science (e.g. geology, geophysics, etc.), that Libby received the Nobel Prize in 1960. Willard F. Libby (1908-80) was a skilled chemist who is remembered today for having developed the process of carbon-14 dating, which is now of the utmost importance to several branches of science. Libby studied chemistry at Berkeley, California, from where he obtained his doctorate in 1933" here he stayed on as, first instructor and then, associate professor. In 1941 he was recruited into the Manhattan Project. After the war he became professor at the University of Chicago, at the Institute for Nuclear Studies. It was here that he made his seminal discovery, namely that a hitherto rarely noticed isotope of carbon, that called carbon-14, was absorbed by plants through photosynthesis and that after a plant died, it would no longer absorb the carbon-14, causing its remains to gradually lose the carbon-14 that it had accumulated through radioactive decay. Thus, by measuring how much carbon-14 was left in the dead plant material, it would be possible to determine when it died. Libby now developed a method for measuring the carbon-14 content, and he began testing his technique (also on things, the dates of which were already known) and found that it applied to all locations everywhere.The isotope carbon-14 had first been isolated in 1940 by two of Libby's students while working on the atomic bomb project. It had been shown that carbon 14 was continually being formed by cosmic rays colliding with atmospheric nitrogen. Libby surmised that traces should always be found in air's carbon dioxide, and that carbon 14 could be detected by modern devices in all products of life such as archaeology, geology, geophysics, and other branches of science. It was in 1950 that he reduced the small amount of ancient wood to pure carbon, and in measuring its radioactivity, he deduced its age. After the announcement of this result, scientists from around the worlds presented him with samples of items to date. Naturally, Libby's discovery caused general excitement within scientific circles archaeologists, geologists etc. now only needed something organic (e.g. wood, plant remains, charcoal etc.) to possibly date a find. The method is surprisingly accurate and only when dating things more than 10.000 years old, does it become less accurate. Libby received the Nobel Prize in 1960 for his discovery of methods to use carbon 14.‎

‎Justus Liebig (1803 1873) baron von Liebig à partir de 1845, est un chimiste allemand. Par son travail de chercheur mais aussi d'enseignant et de propagandiste, il fit des contributions majeures à la chimie organique et à l'agronomie. Il est considéré comme un des fondateurs de l'agriculture industrielle, fondée sur la chimie organique. L'apport de Liebig à la science agronomique a toutefois été réévalué ; au lieu d'opérer une rupture, comme l'historiographie l'a longtemps présenté, il est plutôt désormais considéré comme un remarquable effort de mise en forme de travaux préexistants. Quoi qu'il en soit, tant par ses erreurs que par ses découvertes, Liebig contribua de façon éminente au développement des recherches dans le domaine agricole. ‎

‎The important first edition of the work that established the science of nutrition and presented the ""first classification of the organic food-stuffs and the process of nutrition"" (Garrison & Morton). In this work Liebig, ""unquestionably the greatest chemist of his time"" (Partington),""carried his chemical investigations into the realm of animal physiology. He showed like Lavoisier, that animal heat is not innate, but the result of combustion" introduced the concept of metabolism (Stoffwechsel)" and classified animal foodstuffs as fats, carbohydrates and proteins according to their function. He thus became the founder of the modern science of nutrition."" (Percy H. Muir). Garrison & Morton No. 677 - Waller: 5796 - Wellcome III:515 - Printing and the Mind of Man: 310 (b).‎

‎This milestone paper on organic acids, in which Liebig set forth the now accepted view, that hydrogen is the essential element in acids and that acid are salts of hydrogen. The paper appeared simultaneously in German (""Über die Constitution der organischen Sauren"") and French. The offered paper is the French version.""The paper on organic acids was one of Liebig’s finest achievements, reflecting the best of the attributes that had marked his previous work. He based his position on precise analyses of numerous compounds. Some concerned substances he had discovered, but many were refinements of analyses done by others. He had not originated the theories he defended, but had greatly extended approaches drawn from Davy, Graham, Pelouze, and others. Through his extensive knowledge of compounds and reactions, he was able to amass impressive evidence for his inferences. He displayed a realistic sense of the value and limits of theoretical conceptions. He utilized flexibly such currently accepted foundations of reasoning as the radical theory. He was able to weld these elements into a comprehensive, unifying whole. He took a major step in one of the most important revisions in general chemical theory since the acceptance of Lavoisier’s system of chemistry: a revision completed a few years later in the more universal statement of the hydrogen theory of acids by Liebig’s former student, Gerhardt.""(DSB).‎
