Due opere in prima edizione unite in unico volume. Esemplare appartenuto allo storico e letterato piemontese Cesare Balbo, con parecchie annotazioni marginali di suo pugno a commento del testo. Come segnala la biografia di Ricotti, Balbo, che aveva studiato matematica in gioventù, nel periodo 1836-38, si era dedicato agli studi di chimica, fisica e matematica, successivamente abbandonati. Balbo interviene con competenza, postillando e anche criticando spesso il testo. Le Léçons de Philosophie Chimique, costituiscono un pregevole sunto storico delle teorie chimiche soprattutto del secolo XVIII. La Statique chimique è un importante sviluppo delle teorie sulla chimica organica, basato sul parallelismo della fisiologia animale e di quella vegetale; il testo, scritto in collaborazione con Boussingault, sviluppava idee analoghe a quelle di Liebig. In appendice, Ricotti stila la lista delle opere di Balbo: fra queste compaiono tre manoscritti inediti che trattano di questa materia, presenti nell’archivio di famiglia. Si tratta di: Electrochimie, 24 fogli, terminato il 5 luglio 1838; Quelques considèrations dei philosophie chimique, fogli 16, non finito, gennaio e febbraio 1839; Résumé de philosophie chimique, fogli 7, non finito, 1839.

Two works in first edition bound in a volume. Specimen belonged to the Piedmontese historian and scholar Cesare Balbo, with several handwritten annotations to comment on the text. As Ricotti's biography states, Balbo, who had studied mathematics in his youth, in the period 1836-38, had dedicated himself to the study of chemistry, physics and mathematics, later abandoned. Balbo intervenes with competence, postillating and also often criticizing the text. Le Léçons de Philosophie Chimique, constitute a valuable historical summary of chemical theories especially of the eighteenth century. La Statique chimique is an important development of theories on organic chemistry, based on the parallelism of animal and plant physiology; the text, written in collaboration with Boussingault, developed ideas similar to those of Liebig. In the appendix, Ricotti draws up the list of Balbo's works: among these appear three unpublished manuscripts that deal with this matter, present in the family archive. It is: Electrochimie, 24 sheets, completed on 5 July 1838; Quelques considèrations of the philosophie chimique, sheets 16, unfinished, January and February 1839; Résumé de philosophie chimique, sheets 7, unfinished, 1839.
