1st Edition. FIRST EDITION OF TWO PAPERS BY VAUQUELIN REPORTING THE DISCOVERY OF BERYLIUM. Louis Nicolas Vauquelin (16 May 1763 - 14 November 1829), was a French pharmacist and chemist who reports in this paper his discovery of a new 'earth' obtained by pulverizing gemstone emerald before melting with three times its mass of potassium hydroxide" (Walsh, Beryllium Chemistry, 7). In beryl (beryllium aluminum silicate) he found an earth (oxide) that superficially resembled alumina (aluminum oxide) but was insoluble in alkali and did not form alum. At the suggestion of the editors of Annales de Chimie, Vauquelin named it glucina, from the sweetness of its sulfate, but when first isolated in 1828 by Friedrich Wohler and, independently Antoine Bussy, it was renamed beryllium (DSB Vol. 13, p. 597). Though both Beryl and emerald were known as early as 77 A. D., they were not thought to be identical in any way. In 1797 the French mineralogist René Just Haüy noticed that the crystallographic structure of the two minerals seemed similar. Haüy urged Vauquelin to fully determine the chemical composition of each. As to the import and uses of Beryllium, the national laboratory at Los Alamos states: "Beryllium is used as an alloying agent in producing beryllium copper, which is extensively used for springs, electrical contacts, spot-welding electrodes, and non-sparking tools. It is applied as a structural material for high-speed aircraft, missiles, spacecraft, and communication satellites. Other uses include windshield frame, brake discs, support beams, and other structural components of the space shuttle. Beryllium is used in nuclear reactors as a reflector or moderator for it has a low thermal neutron absorption cross section. It is used in gyroscopes, computer parts, and instruments where lightness, stiffness, and dimensional stability are required. The oxide has a very high melting point and is also used in nuclear work and ceramic applications" (Periodic Table of Elements, LANL, Los Alamos National Laboratory Portal). ALSO INCLUDED: Martin Heinrich Klaproth report on the discovery of tellurium. Additionally, Klaproth discovered or co-discovered zirconium (1789), titanium (1792), strontium (1793), chromium (1797), mellitic acid (1799), and cerium (1803) (DSB, Vol. 7, p. 394). CONDITION & DETAILS: Paris: Chez Fuchs et Guillaume. 8vo. 8.25 x 5.5 inches (206 x 137mm). Volume 25: 335 pages, 1 plate. Volume 26: 340 pages, 1 plate.
