Two works in the FIRST EDITION together in one volume. Exemplary belonged to the historical and literary Piedmontese Cesare Balbo, with several marginal notes in his own handwriting to text commentary. The Leçons de Philosophie Chimique, constitute a valuable historical summary of the chemical theories especially the eighteenth century. The statique chimique is an important development of the theories of organic chemistry, based on parallelism of animal physiology and of that plant; The text, written in collaboration with Boussingault, developed similar ideas to those of Liebig. In the appendix, Ricotti draws up the list of the works of Balbo: among these, there are three unpublished manuscripts dealing with this matter, present in the family.
