Severgin V. Assay art, or A guide to the chemical testing of metal ores and other fossil bodies. First edition.
In St. Petersburg, at the Imperial Academy of Sciences, 1801. - XVI, [16], 370, [2] p., 5 incl. with tables [including two folding illustrations made in the technique of engraving on copper]. Hardcover of the era with embossed gold on the spine, slightly reduced format (13 x 20.5 cm). The binding is worn; rare temporary spots on the pages; on two sheets there are tears on the outer edge of the block; stamps.



On the basis of a lecture course that he gave to students of the Mining School, Severgin wrote a manual "Assay art, or a guide to the chemical testing of metal ores and other minerals". This book, devoted to the seemingly practical application of analytical chemistry to solving a narrow range of problems related mainly to metallurgical processes, was in fact a genuine textbook on analytical chemistry, written from the standpoint of the oxygen theory of A. L. Lavoisier (1743-1794).

"The sampling of ores, " writes Severgin, " is a very important part of the exercises in almost all mining operations, for almost the entire establishment of smelters is based on it." The book consists of three parts. Part one contains preliminary knowledge, chemical and mineralogical. Part Two contains information about the tools and works used in the assay art. Part Three is about the chemical tests of various metals, as well as tellurium, sulfur, salts, and coal.



[Vasily Mikhailovich Severgin, lat. Basilio Sewergin, fr. Basile Severgyne or fr. B. Severguine (1765-1826) - Russian chemist, mineralogist, geologist, academician of the Imperial Academy of Sciences (1793).

The main task of the mineralogist and naturalist in general, V. M. Severgin, considered strict accuracy in observations and descriptions with the avoidance of arbitrary theories. Severgin's numerous memoirs and articles are written in Russian, and only a few of them are written in Latin and French. The articles cover subjects related to mineralogy, physics, chemistry, Earth physics, and agricultural technology. In them, he expressed the idea of a close connection between mineralogy and chemistry. In his writings, Severgin followed R-Zh. Guy in mineralogy and Lavoisier in chemistry. He contributed to the formation and enrichment of Russian scientific terminology: he, for example, owns the term "oxidation".

In 1798, V. M. Severgin discovered the regularities of the joint finding of some minerals in one deposit, which he called the "contiguity" of minerals (the modern term is Paragenesis). He accepted the theory of crystallography of R. Gayui and expounded it in his works. 

He created the first geological nomenclature in Russian, and introduced terms describing the properties of minerals, for example: the luster of a mineral, the flexibility of a mineral, the color of a feature, etc. I have compiled this data in explanatory dictionaries.

V. M. Severgin was a supporter of the new ideas of the French chemist A. L. Lavoisier, repeated and described many of his experiments.

He created the first Russian-language Chemical Nomenclature and chemical dictionaries.

He described and improved chemical technologies, for example, Gunpowder - the production of sulfur from sulfur pyrite and saltpeter in humus pits.]
