The Use of The Blowpipe in Chemical Analysis by J.Berzelius

[janbbeck]

I immensely enjoyed listening to
The Chemical History of The Candle
Creative Chemistry
The Story of Alchemy and the Beginnings of Chemistry
Familiar Letters on Chemistry
The Romance of Modern Chemistry

And in the spirit of these books I would like to suggest
"The Use of The Blowpipe in Chemical Analysis and the Examination of Minerals"
by the famous chemist Jöns Jacob Berzelius. He essentially developed the chemical system of notation we use today and discovered several elements, including silicon and lithium.
Here is what wikipedia has to say about the man:

It is in the public domain, having been published in the 1800s and one possible source is

Here's another scan of the same edition:

I don't know if one is a better scan than another.
