First printing of 3 historical chemical papers.""Stahlregarded alum as a compound of vitriolic acid and lime. Marggraf (1754) found that these substances produce only selenite (gypsum), whic is a salt, not an earth. To obtain alum he treated clay with sulphuric acid, but found that crystals were formed only when potash or ammonia was added, so that alum contains these alkalis. The 'earth of alum' (Alaun-Erde) is a peculiar one, present in combination with silica in clay. It is precipitated by alcali from Alum solution and, after drying in air, is soluble in acids, and is hence an 'alkaline earth'...""(Partington II, p. 727).

First printing of Marggraf's importent investigation of the so-called ""Bologna-Stone"" in which he found that its base is different from lime, it is heavier and more soluble. In this memoir he anticipated Lavoisier’s conclusions by identifying the constituents of gypsum as water,lime, and vitriolic acid.Bologna stone, any of the dense, silvery white stones first found (1603) on Mount Paderno, near Bologna, by an Italian cobbler-alchemist, Vicenzo Cascariolo, who synthesized from them a luminescent material that glowed at night after being exposed by day to the Sun. Originally thought to be the philosopher’s stone that was believed capable of transmuting base metals into gold, Bologna stone ultimately was shown to be the mineral barite, barium sulfate.

The paper describes his successfull separation of tantalum and columbium, ""and he also shows that columbium is both tri- and pentavalent, whereas tantalum always has a valency of five. The separation is based on the insolubility of potassium fluo-oxyycolumbate."" (Weeks p. 83).
