HAÜY, René Just (1743-1822)

Essai d'une théorie sur la structure des crystaux appliquée a plusiers genres de substances crystallisées. Paris: Gogué & Née de la Rochelle, 1784.

First edition of the work that laid the foundation for the mathematical theory of crystal structure. Often thought of as the founder of crystallography, Haüy proposed the idea of the crystal molecule and recognized that, based on the discontinuity principle, there are limited varieties of a crystal species. Dibner Heralds 92; Grolier/Horblit 47; Norman 1021-1022.



Octavo (199 x 120mm). Half-title, 8 folding engraved plates by Sellier after Fossier (faint staining to a few corners, small rust spot in margin of D6). Contemporary mottled calf (discreet repairs to corners and joints).
