Erste Ausgabe. - "His chief work, embodying investigations into the laws of chemical affinity, still exercising the most powerful influence on this question. `Setting out, like Bergman, with the hypothesis that affinity is identical with gravity, he went on to emphasise the undeniable conclusion that the forces of chemical affinity, like those of general attraction, must be proportional to the masses of the acting substances. The further deductions from this principle he worked out with a masterly clearness in his Essai de Statique chimique.'- Prof. E. v. Meyer" (Sotheran). "Berthollet's speculations in this work led directly to Prout's investigations which yielded a knowledge of definite chemical proportions and thus played a very important part in preparing the way for the development of the Atomic Theory on which the whole of modern chemistry is based" (Duveen). - Stellenweise etw. fleckig u. ger. gebräunt.
