The french translation contains some polemics against Liebig omitted from the German by Wöhler who also toned down some wording in earlier volumes...". (Partington IV p. 146) ---- "BERZELIUS' most active and productive years were those in which chemistry was beginning to show the full effects of LAVOISIER's revolution. The fundamental tools which he created were extremely influential in determining the direction in which the science developed. His achievements were many and varied, and at first glance they seem rather unrelated to each other. Upon closer examination we find an underlying unity of thought and a logical interconnection and development of this thought in most of his work... The tremendous influence which BERZELIUS exerted on the chemist of his time came not only from his experimental discoveries and his theoretical interpretations. His voluminous writings were circulated everywhere in the chemical world. He reported his own discoveries in the various editions of his textbook and he surveyed the whole progress of chemistry in his Annual reports which were read everywhere... By the force of his personality, by the skill of his laboratory techniques, and by his power to collect, synthesize and publicize the chemistry of his day, he exerted an influence on his own time which is still reflected in chemistry more than a century after his death...".

‎First German (abbreviated) translation/review of Berzelius landmark work published the same year as the original: the first system based on chemical formulae. The first complete German translation was not published untill 1815. The system was based, not on the crystallographic appearance of the minerals, but on knowledge of their chemical composition. Hausmann review [the present] was highly critical of the Berzelius work. This provoked Berzelius to publish the ""Försök till ett rent kemiskt Mineralsystem"" in 1815. ""With the addition of this supplemenentary monograph Berzelius' mineralogy no longer looked like an ""attempt"" but a fully developed mineralogy"". (Curtis Schuh).He was honoured in London by the Royal Society in 1836 for his new system by awarding him the Copley Medal in gold.""In accord with the interest that Swedish chemists had long shown in mineralogical studies, Berzelius had from time to time analyzed minerals that came into his hands. As was noted above, the discovery of cerium was the result of such an analysis. However, when he began his systematic studies to establish the law of constant proportions, he worked largely with simple salts. In 1812 he received a gift of a large number of minerals which he later decided to classify. The methods of mineral classification existing at that time were based on appearance and physical properties. These seemed highly unsystematic to Berzelius. He concluded from his analytical experience that a logical classification could be based only on chemical composition. In his original system, first published in 1814, he arranged the minerals in terms of their basic constituents, although he later revised this and placed chief emphasis on the acid component. Like many of Berzelius' innovations, his system of mineral classification was at first received with some hostility, but this was gradually overcome. During his visit to Paris in 1818 he won the approval of Haüy, the leading mineralogist of the day whose own system was based on physical properties.""(DSB).‎

Il fut presque le créateur de la chimie organique. Il introduisit en chimie les notions et les mots d'allotropie, de catalyse, d'isomérie et de protéine. Philosophe aussi bien qu'expérimentateur, il consolida la théorie atomistique ainsi que celle des proportions chimiques. Enfin, il adopta, pour expliquer les phénomènes, la célèbre théorie du dualisme électrochimique, et fit au moyen de cette théorie de nombreuses réformes dans la nomenclature et la classification. Il fut à lorigine d'une théorie électrochimique et d'une théorie sur les radicaux et en commença le développement.

‎The papers represents one of the first announcements of Berzelius' discovery of the fixed chemical proportions, determining the weights and valencies of the various constituent elements in inorganic compounds. The papers were published at the same time in Swedish, German (both here in Annalen and in Schweiger's Journal), and in French. By running many hundreds of analysis of chemical compounds he gave so many examples of the law of definite proportions that the world of chemistry could no longer doubt its validity, and in so doing he gave experimental evidence to the atomic theory. He hereby laid a solid fundation for the further development of chemistry. A reprint is found in Ostwald's Klassiker der exakten Wissenschaften, No. 35.According to Söderbaum (Jac. Berzelius, 2, p.12) ""It was a giant work, one of the most importent in the history of chemistry, which was here presented. One is even more impressed when one remembers that it was a pioneer undertaking in every sense of the term.

‎The papers represents one of the first announcements of Berzelius' discovery of the fixed chemical proportions, determining the weights and valencies of the various constituent elements in inorganic compounds. The papers were published at the same time in German (both here in Annalen and in Schweiger's Journal), and in French. By running many hundreds of analysis of chemical compounds he gave so many examples of the law of definite proportions that the world of chemistry could no longer doubt its validity, and in so doing he gave experimental evidence to the atomic theory. He hereby laid a solid fundation for the further development of chemistry.According to Söderbaum (Jac. Berzelius, 2, p.12) ""It was a giant work, one of the most importent in the history of chemistry, which was here presented. One is even more impressed when one remembers that it was a pioneer undertaking in every sense of the term.

‎ First printing of these milestone papers in the history of chemistry, where Berzelius introduced his famous chemical symbolism whereby an element is generally represented by the first letter of its Latin name, or, in the event of elements having the same first letter, by the first two letters. Even though his atomic symbols were introduced in 1813 (see the note on p. 359 in the first paper), it was quite a few years before Berzelius's symbols were adopted by the chemistry community. But once accepted, they became the new international language of chemistry.Berzelius ""contributed more to the development of the atomic theory and to the setting up of accurate values of the atomic weights than did any other worker of the time. Of his contributions, moreover, to the development of the atomic theory and the advancement of chemical science, not the least valuable was the introduction of a chemical symbolism which, with slight modification, is in use at the present day. By giving his symbols a quantitative meaning - the symbol of an element representing one atomic proportion by weight - it was possible ""to show briefly and clearly the number of elementary atoms in each compound and, after the determination of their relative weights, present the results of each analysis in a simple and easely retained manner"". This symbolism was speedily adopted on the Continent but, in England, only after some considerable time.""(Findlay ""A Hundred Years of Chemistry"", p. 14.).Parkinson ""Breakthroughs"", 1813 C. - Leicester & Klickstein ""A Source Book in Chemistry"", p. 258 ff. - Holmberg 1813:28 a.
