About This Item
1798. Åbo, Frenckellska Boktryckeriet, 1798. Orig. blanke kartonomslag. Håndskrevet rygtitel. Lidt rifter i rygpapiret. (4),150,(2) pp. Lidt spredte brunpletter. De sidste 5 blade med en skjold øverst. Originaludgaven. First edition. "His Inleding till chemien (1798) was the first Swedishlanguage textbook written in the spirit of the new combustion theory. Although he accepted the phlogiston theory early in his career, Gadolin attempted to understand Lavoisier’s ideas. In a paper published in 1788 he tried to define phlogiston and admitted that the French explanation of combustion was superior to some phlogiston theories, but for a long time he was not wholly converted. His lectures always made use of the new chemistry, and he eventually became the spokesman in Scandinavia for Lavoisier’s nomenclature and combustion theory, often encountering Berzelius, opposition."(DSB).Poggendorff I, 827. - Neville I, p. 496.
