A propos de cet article

SCARCE 1895 RUSSIAN EDITION OF MENDELEEV'S SEMINAL BOOK COVERING THE PERIODIC TABLE OF ELEMENTS. Mendeleev originally wrote Osnovy Khimii to provide a text for his lectures. The book's chapters include discussions of the relation of atomic weights to the physical and chemical properties of elements. It was only shortly before publication that Mendeleev Osnovy Khimii that Mendeleev realized how to group the elements according to the principle of atomicity. This happened after Mendeleev had been appointed to the chair of chemistry in the University of St. Petersburg. Finding there was no book he could recommend to his students as a text for his lectures, he set out to write his own, deriving his basic plan from Gerhardt's theory of types, whereby elements were grouped by valence in relation to oxygen. BOOK DETAILS: Royal 8vo, cont. cloth (probably original) with leather label on spine; soiled on covers including cup ring but VG internally. This 6th Edition is nearly a reprint of the considerably expanded 5th Edition (1889), includes some revised footnotes and also includes Mendeleev s first printed commentary on the Rayleigh-Ramsay discovery of Argon. This is a very significant problem for Mendeleev since Argon s atomic weight is virtually identical to that of Calcium and there is simply no room for it in the periodic table. Mendeleev suggests it might actually be N3. The 2nd English edition (1897) is the translation of this 6th Russian Edition. RARITY: The Girolami/Mainz catalogue cites eight copies documented by WorldCat and KVK as well as this copy, the copy of Girolami/Mainz and one offered by Henry Sotheran Ltd in 2014 for 2,750 pounds sterling ($4,625). Interestingly, no copies of this edition have come up for auction in the last century (RBH). PROVENANCE: From the Arthur C. Greenberg Chemistry History Library. REFERENCES (FIRST ED): DSB IX, p. 288; Bolton p. 664; cf. Grolier Science 74; Dibner 48 (First German edition).…
