Item description from seller

Auguste Laurent's work on Chemical Method, Notation, Classification, and Nomenclature is a cornerstone in the evolution of organic chemistry during the 19th century. Laurent, a visionary chemist, made substantial contributions to how chemical substances were categorized, named, and understood within the broader framework of molecular theory. Laurent's proposal of a systematic chemical notation was revolutionary for its time. He aimed to simplify and standardize how chemists represented molecules, creating a clearer way to express their composition and structure. This was essential in a period when chemical notation was inconsistent and often confusing. First Edition in English 8vo, original green cloth, gold- and blind-stamped ( Cavendish Society ) on front and rear covers: Endpapers, xxiii (1), 382 pp, blank. With 13 diagrams in text. Neville II: p 14: Odling discusses Laurent s postulates in terms of chemical equivalents, the atomic system of Berzelius, and the four- and two-volume system of Gerhardt. Some soiling, bumping, ext wear; internally VG. (Translated by William Odling.
