Researches on the oxymuriatic Acid, its Nature and Combinations; and on the Elements of the muriatic Acid. With some Experiments on Sulphur and Phosphorus, made in the Laboratory of the Royal Institution.
(London, Bulmer, 1810). - (26 x 21 cm). SS. 231-257. Rückenbroschur. (Aus: Philosophical Transactions).
Erste Ausgabe dieser bedeutenden Arbeit. - "Davy's researches on chlorine are of an importance comparable with those on the alkali metals. Chlorine, first discovered by Scheele, was regarded by him as a 'dephlogisticated muriatic acid.' As phlogiston was practically synonymous with hydrogen to Scheele, this view was essentialy correct. Lavoisier, however, chiefly occupied with phenomena of combustion, assumed that chlorien was an oxide of an unknown 'radical'. Davy performed many experiments endeavoring to confirm the presence of oxygen and finally concluded that chlorine was an element" (Leicester-Klickstein, A Source Book in Chemistry 1400-1900, S. 244). - Erstes Blatt gering braunfleckig. Bug mit den Spuren von 2 entfernten Heftklammern, sonst gut erhalten. - DSB 3, 598; Partington IV, 51; Poggendorff I, 528
