Erste Ausgabe. - "Biot accordingly divided optically active substances into two classes, those that obeyed his law and those that did not. He observed the crystalline forms of some salts of tartaric acid, but it was to Pasteur to show the relationship between the crystalline form and the effect on polarized light. Biot was, significantly, an ardent champion of Pasteur at the beginning of his career. Pasteur, for his part, felt that Biot's work on the rotation of polarized light by liquids constituted a valuable scientific tool that had been hitherto unjustly neglected by chemists" (DSB). - Stellenweise etwas stockfleckig. Die ersten und letzten Blätter etwas feuchtrandig. - DSB 2, 133
