[CHEMISTRY]. FOREIGN CHEMISTS. Set of 6 pieces. 18th and 19th century. - CALVERT, Frederick Crace (1819-1873), English chemist. L.A.S. Royal Institution, Manchester, January 13, 1847. 4 pp. in-4. "[...] Often in the course of my lessons I have occasion to quote the French chemists, for in my homeland I neither wish nor can forget that I am of the French school, and it will be my pleasure to make popular as much as I can the name of those who have taught and encouraged me [...]". Calvert shares his latest discoveries and a new way of applying to all colors to remove them from the influence of the oxygen in the air. "The application was made with indigo. The process consists in printing the soluble indigo in an atmosphere of hydrogen bicarbonate". He then confides at length about the discord that opposed him to his French colleagues Ledoyen and Raphanel, who like him were interested in the problems of disinfection. - CANNIZZARO, Stanislao (1826-1910), chemist from Palermo. C.A.S. addressed to the French chemist Auguste Cahours (1813-1891). Rome, December 28, 1880. - ERDMANN, Otto Linné (1804-1869), German chemist. L.A.S. S.l.n.d. 1 p. in-8 oblong.

L.A.S. to Théophile Pelouze, famous French chemist. Rotterdam, February 15, 1839. 1 p. large in-4. "The superb works with which you have enriched chemistry have aroused in me a strong desire to enter into a scientific relationship with you [...] science is between us only a proof of application, only a very distant image of what it is in our days, and the one who wants to know some beauties of it must endeavor to discover the most common path to himself [...]". - PRECHTEL, Jean Joseph (1778-1854), German mathematician and chemist. L.A.S. Vienna, September 26, 1815. 3 pp. in-4. Prechtel complains about not having received "some articles from your manufacture" to his Parisian colleague and lists them: carbonate of titanium, rhodium, palladium, zirconia, ammonia, etc., with the desired quantities. - RAMSAY, Sir William (1852-1916), British chemist and Nobel Prize winner in 1904. L.A.S. S.l., March 6 [1895]. 1 p. 1/2 in-12. Embossed letterhead with his address. Sir Ramsay acknowledges receipt of the journal containing a scientific article by M.
