Born in Stuttgart in 1792 and educated at the University of Tübingen, Julius Eugen Schlossberger was one of the pioneers of physiological chemistry in Germany. Unorganischen Chemie is a thorough discourse on inorganic chemistry and metallurgy, presumably relating to lectures given at the University of Tübingen, with an extrensive section on the physical properties, chemistry, and analysis of Eisenmetalle ("iron metals"). The volume includes three small drawings of experimental apparatus.
