Erste deutsche Ausgabe der "Elementa metallurgiae" des Johann Gottschalk Wallerius. - "Johan Gotschalk Wallerius (1709 - 1785) studied at the University of Uppsala, then taught medicine at Lund, before returning to Uppsala in 1735 as a lecturer in medicine. As a member of the medical faculty, he taught physiology and anatomy, but he also had an interest in chemistry and mineralogy. To pursue these subjects, Wallerius set up a chemical laboratory, where experiments were carried out and lectures on chemistry, mineralogy and assaying given. In 1750, Wallerius was appointed to the newly created professorship of chemistry at Uppsala, in which capacity he served until failing health caused his retirement in 1767. He moved to the country, where he continued to pursue his natural history and agricultural studies" (Minrec). - He also published his lectures on Metallurgy as `Elementa metallurgiae, specatim chemicae (Stockholm 1768)`, `which . has cost me innumerable experiments and much trouble`" (DSB XIV, 144). - Gebräunt und fleckig.
