The periodic table included at the end of Eugenio Mascareñas's textbook was considered in certain essays as the first published in Spanish:
It was not unusual for a 19th-century book published in installments to be completed one or two years after the date indicated on the title page. In this particular book, even though it only has 222 pages, it took five years to be completed.
This paper shows how misleading title-page dates have obscured the fact that Mendeleev's periodic law entered German textbooks in 1872, scarcely a year after Mendeleev's second canonical paper on the periodic table had been published in German. Based on contemporary advertisements, catalogues, and journal listings from late 1872, the third edition of Rammelsberg's Grundriss der Chemie gemäss den neueren Ansichten —the first German textbook to feature Mendeleev's periodic table— was published in 1872, not 1873 as stated on its title page.
Si el tratado sobre la risa de Denis-Prudent Roy es un ouvrage rarissime según leemos en la guarda del ejemplar conservado en la Wellcome Library, su tesis doctoral sobre el mismo tema, publicada dos años antes, no lo es menos.
Esta es mi edición del libro de Carlo Bobba: Un mot sur les idées du Docteur Gall (1802?), primera obra publicada contraria a Gall, fundador de la teoría pseudocientífica de la frenología. Traducido por primera vez al español, con una introducción en la que se esboza una biografía de Bobba.
