Annual Report on the Progress of Chemistry and Related Areas of Other Sciences

Annual Report on the progress of chemistry and related areas of other sciences By Hermann Kopp and Heinrich Will, page XVIII.

Mark Leach writes:

"A list of the known chemical elements with their atomic weights in 1858. The list is far more comprehensive than the list given in the important Cannazzario letter (also of 1858), but it contains many of the stoichiometric errors which plagued chemistry at the time. Oxygen (Sauerstoff) is given as having a weight of 8 which would have caused many of the other atomic weights to be out by a factor of 2 or 3.

"Didym D = 48 was actually a mixture of rare earth elements and Norium No is a now discredited claim to be what is now known as hafnium. The missing elements had yet to be discovered."


Thanks to René for the tip!
