Schnabel, Karl; Die Wichtigsten Technisch-chemischen Processe....In zwei theilen. Ist Theil: Metalloide und Leichtmetalle. II Theil: Schwermetalle und Organische Verbundungen. Siegen, 1840-42. Octavo, decorative title page dated 1842, pp. 2. 2nd title page dated 1840, pp. 64. 3rd title page dated 1841, pp. 65-172.

This rare laboratory manual is complete and in a  recent half tooled calf with gilt tooled spine titles. The binding is pristine. Light browning to first title page. In very good condition.



A German Professor of Mineralogy and Metallurgy; Schnabel published several textbooks and laboratory manuals on chemistry, metallurgy and crystallography. The above work was intended for use by his students as a laboratory reference manual for recognizing chemical and metallurgical reactions. The text is a printed rendering of Schnabel's handwritten notes, reaction formulas etc. Since the work was put to the use intended any copy is rare and one in very good condition is quite rare.
