Ajouter au panierHard Cover. Etat : Good. No Jacket. Second Edition in English. Facsimile reprint of the first English translation of Bergman's monumental work, with a new introduction by A. M. Duncan. Duncan considers this to be "the highest level of chemical thought immediately before the coming of Lavoisier's New Chemistry, and the end of the… phlogiston theory", published some 75 years before Mendeleev & Meyer published their periodic tables of the chemical elements. Not to be confused with the modern translation published in 1968, this 1785 translation is based on Bergren's revision of 1783. In his introduction Duncan discusses Bergman's work, inspirations, and influence, while noting that the original translator's extensive notes on Bergman's method require no modern augmentation. Hardcover, as pictured. Light wear, corners bumped, spine faded; no jacket, likely as issued; minor mis-creasing to folding plates. Text clean, no names or marks; xxxviii, [2], xiv, [2], [383], blank, [16] pages; 7 folding figures & tables, index, appendixes on the identity of the translator and chemical names in Latin. Size: Octavo.
