Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book presents an exploration of the understanding, across history, of the role of air within various substances and the phenomena that result from its separation and combination with bodies. The author provides a comprehensive account of the contributions made by various scientists to the field, from the early theories of Paracelsus and Van Helmont to the groundbreaking experiments conducted by Dr. Joseph Black and others. The book delves deeply into the nature and properties of elastic fluids and their impact on diverse chemical processes, including combustion, fermentation, and effervescence. It examines how the separation of fixed air can lead to the precipitation of metals from acids and the augmentation of their weight. The author has meticulously documented the evolution of scientific thought on this subject, highlighting the gradual recognition of the significance of air in the composition and behavior of matter. This book serves as a valuable resource for anyone seeking to understand the historical development of our knowledge of the role of air in chemical reactions and its implications for various fields of science.

Antoine Lavoisier, often referred to as the Father of Modern Chemistry, and his wife Marie-Anne Pierrette Paulze Lavoisier (later Countess von Rumford) were eighteenth century French chemists responsible for overthrowing the "false doctrine of Phlogiston". Lavoisier relied on Paulze's translation of foreign works to keep abreast of current developments in chemistry. In the case of phlogiston, it was Paulze's translation of Richard Kirwan's 'Essay on Phlogiston and the Constitution of Acids - with her own footnotes critiquing his errors - that convinced him the idea was incorrect, ultimately leading to his studies of combustion and his discovery of oxygen gas. Lavoisier was a victim of The Terror of 1794 and guillotined in Paris. "It took but a moment to cut off his head; it will take a century to produce another like it," mourned his friend Lagrange, the mathematician. (The Autobiography of Science, p.228). The collected essays show the development of Lavoisier's thinking and in the penultimate essay (VIII) the term "oxyginous principle" (principe oxygin, i.e. oxygen) appears for the first time in chemistry (p.98) This paper was first submitted to the Academie in 1777 and read in 1779.
