First edition in book form of this his main philosophical work and one of the most concise expressions of materialistic philosophy in the Enlightment. - The "Rapports" is presented as "simple physiological researches", and the first 6 were read in the sessions of the Institute de France and printed 1802. His materialistic philosophy, based on his observations as a physician, states that all psychology can be reduced to biology, that all mental processes is a function of the (biological) brain which contains only physiological processes caused by sensations. In the "Rapports" he also termed the science of man "anthropologie".

1838. Paris, Crochard, 1838. No wrappers as extracted from "Annales de Chimie et de Physique", 2. Series, Tome 68. Pp. 206-222. First appearance of this classic paper on yeast, which summarises his work on alcoholic fermentation, proving that the process depended on living organisms as a mass of globular bodies capable of reproduction and therefore organized, and not a simple chemical substance as had been supposed."Cagniard's studies on alcoholic fermentation have unquestionably remained the most valuable of his works. Begun as early as 1835, they led him, toward the end of 1836. to see that there was certainly a living substance in brewer's yeast. Schwann came to the same conclusion at the same time, but Liebig's violent attacks forced this point of view into the background for twenty years. (It was in 1857 that Pateur shed light on the question)."(DSB III, p. 9-10)."The earliest demonstration of the true nature of yeast was made by Cagniac-Latour in 1836. All his work on the subject is summed… Read More

Cahours' paper pp. 327-369. First pinting of Cahours' paper on the oil of Gaultheria procumbens."Among Cahours’s other accomplishments the most important are the discovery (1834) of toluene, identified among the products of the dry distillation of benzoin, and the study (1844, the paper offered) of the oil of Gaultheria procumbens, known to have the same composition and properties as methyl salicylate; Cahours demonstrated by synthesis that it was the same substance. Cahours also discovered anisic acid, anisole, and the polysulfides of alcohol."(DSB).The volume contains CHARLES WHEATSTONE "Description de plusieurs Instruments et procédés nouveaux pour… Read More

1878. (Paris, G. Masson, 1878). No wrappers. In: "Annales de Chimie et de Physique", 5e Series - Tome 15, Cahier Septembre 1878. Pp. 5-144. (Entire issue offered). Cailletet's paper: pp. 132-144, textillustrations of apparatus used. First appearance of a milestonepaper in chemistry in which Cailletet describes his invention of the liquedifaction-process of oxygen and 5 other gases - and a classic in Low-Temperature Chemistry."Cailletet is most famous for his investigations on the compression and liquefaction of gases. At the time there were still six gases that were considered permanen: oxygen, nitrogen, hydrogen, nitrogen dioxyde, acrbon monooxide, and acetylene. Liquefaction had not been achieved despite the use of what were considered ernomous pressures. At the end of 1877 and the beginning of 1878 Callitet liquefied all these gases shortly before Raoul Pictet, who employed a completely different procedure. Cailletet had, following Andrews, recognized the importence of the critical temperature,… Read More

With htitle and titlepage to vol. 85. Titlepage with a stamp on verso, seen on front. Pp. 1185-1248. Cailletet's paper: pp. 1213-1214. Pictet's paper: pp. 1214-1217. With an illustration of the apparatus in the text. First printing of these two milestone papers in Low-temperature Chemistry. This process of liquefaction of oxygene was achieved independently, in the same year, by Cailletet and Pictet, using different methods. Cailletet used the Joule-Thomson effect; oxygen was cooled while highly compressed, then allowed to rapidly expand, cooling it further, resulting in the production of small droplets of liquid oxygen. Pictet's method was more elaborate, using compounds pumps. (This compound is shown on the illustration in the text).Parkinson "Breakthroughs", 1877 C. - Magee "Source Books in Physics" p. 192-93 (Cailletet) and pp.… Read More
