Franz Sondheimer und Hannes Büttner; feines Expl. FIRST EDITION of Berzelius's first textbook, on animal chemistry, which included the results of many of his own experiments on animal tissues and fluids. "Berzelius' work as the creator of the science of chemistry in general is universally known. One of his most important contributions, however, is his investigation of the substances that are produced by life on the earth. In his Lectures on Animal Chemistry, published during the years 1806-1808, he expounds his conception of life-phenomena in general and, besides, records a number of fresh facts in the sphere of organic analysis, which he later still further augmented" Nordenskiöld, The history of biology, pp. 371-372 "In his analysis of the blood, Berzelius separated the solid and liquid parts by coagulation and examined each part separately. In the clot, he found compounds of carbon, phosphorus, calcium, magnesium, and iron. The serum consisted of water containing albumin, various salts, and some animal matter. His analysis of the serum confirmed results obtained by Marcet. Berzelius also found that bile, saliva, mucous fluids, the humors of the eye, and serous fluids contained the same salts in roughly the same proportions as in blood serum. He thought that this result showed that all animal secretions were ultimately derived from the blood. Thus, by the second decade of the nineteenth century, the new humoralism had already produced useful observations on the properties and constituents of the blood."
