About this Item

Pleine basane de l'�poque, dos lisse. Un volume in-16 (123x96 mm), 22-(32)-[55-59]-(11)-6-(34) pages. Coiffe de queue aras�e. Mors fendu en t�te. Edition originale. En 1821, il est charg� par l'administration fran�aise de d�finir une m�thode pratique de mesure exacte de la concentration en alcool des boissons. Gay-Lussac met au point un densim�tre gradu� sur la concentration volum�trique en alcool. Cela donne le degr� Gay-Lussac qui correspond au pourcentage d'alcool dans le vin par exemple. La loi de 1824 sur la taxation des boissons alcooliques utilise ses travaux. Avec Collardeau, ancien �l�ve de l'�cole Polytechnique, il devient fabricant d'instruments scientifiques et commercialise son alcoom�tre en 1830. References : Neville [I, 504: "An important work containing directions and tables for the use of the centimental alcoholometer invented by Gay-Lussac".]. ___________________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________ENGLISH_DESCRIPTION : Contemporary full sheep, flat spine. 16mo (123x96 mm), 22-(32)-[55-59]-(11)-6-(34) pages. Tailcap worn. Joint splitting. First edition. In 1821, he was commissioned by the French administration to define a practical method for accurately measuring the alcohol concentration of drinks. Gay-Lussac is developing a hydrometer graduated on the volumetric alcohol concentration. This gives the Gay-Lussac degree which corresponds to the percentage of alcohol in the wine for example. The law of 1824 on the taxation of alcoholic beverages uses his work. With Collardeau, a former student of the �cole Polytechnique, he became a manufacturer of scientific instruments and marketed his alcoholometer in 1830. References : Neville [I, 504: "An important work containing directions and tables for the use of the centimental alcoholometer invented by Gay-Lussac".]. 100g.
