This book presents an English translation of the pioneering contributions of Lothar Meyer (1830-1895) in the field of chemistry. Notably, Meyer's independent discovery of the periodic system of elements coincided with that of Dmitrii Mendeleev. While an English translation of the 5th edition of Meyer's book, "Modern Theories of Chemistry and their Significance for Chemical Statics," was published in 1888, this publication marks the first time that these crucial early texts will be accessible in English.
Through these writings, readers gain insights into Meyer's research journey, leading him to the concept of periodicity and the organization of chemical elements in tables and graphs. An introductory commentary and interpolated editorial footnotes provide clarification on the (physico)-chemical background during the pivotal period from 1860 to the early 1870s, highlighting the shifts in thought that shaped the field. Additionally, a short biography of Lothar Meyer complements the book.
The volume encompasses a comprehensive translation of the first edition of "Modern Theories of Chemistry and their Significance for Chemical Statics" (1864), the groundbreaking paper titled "The Nature of the Chemical Elements as a Function of their Atomic Weights" in "Annalen der Chemie und Pharmacie," suppl. vol. 7 {PHONE}, and selected portions from the revised second edition of "Modern Theories of Chemistry and their Significance for Chemical Statics" (1872).
