ARRHENIUS, SVANTE.

Om fluiditetens inverkan på elektrolyters galvaniska ledningsförmåga.

Stockholm, (P.A. Norstedt), 1885. 8vo. In the original printed wrappers. No. 5, Vol.13 of 'Bihang till K. Svenska Vet.Akad. förandlingar'. A very fine and clean copy. Pp. 121-131.

First edition.

Svante Arrhenius (1859-1927) was a prominent chemist and one of the founders of the science of physical chemistry. He was awarded the 1903 Nobel Prize in Chemistry for the pioneering work which he had done in his famous dissertation on electrolytic conductivity ('Recherches sur la conductivité galvanique des électrolytes', 1884). However Arrhenius is becoming increasingly more known for his discovery of the greenhouse effect and its influence on global temperature.
Papers from this supplement series to the 'Proceedings of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences' are often mistakenly identified as offprints or 'first seperate edition' (indicating the existence of a jounal edition) because they have their own title page with the publishers named and their own pagination, but they are not - all publications from this series were printed seperatley in this way and issued with wrappers.
