All three works are among the earliest textbooks on chemistry in Danish. These presentations by Denmark’s three leading chemists were based on lectures organized by the newly founded Society for the Dissemination of Natural Science (Selskabet for Naturenlærens Udbredelse), established in 1824 after the English model, with these three individuals as its central figures. Ørsted’s book is his last on chemical subjects, and this second edition is heavily revised and was sold only to members of the society (at most 200); it was not available in bookstores.
