(Leipzig, Barth), 1818. No wrappers. In: "Annalen der Physik. Neue Folge. Herausgegeben von L.W. Gilbert", Bd. 28, Erstes Stück. Pp. 1-120 a. 1 engraved plate. (Entire issue offered). Gay-Lussac's paper: pp. 29-53.


First German edition of Gay-Lussac's "Sur les combinaisons de l’azote avec l’oxigène", in which he identified 5 oxides of nitrogen.

"In 1809 Gay-Lussac carried out a study of the combining volumes of nitric oxide and oxygen. This was a more complex problem than he then realized, but he returned to it in 1816 after criticism of his earlier work by Dalton; this time his results were of permanent value. He recognized five oxides of nitrogen."
