Hi Count,
I think von Schreiber's Appendix to Chaldni's 1819 book Uber-Feur-Meteore is
usually considered the first published "catalogue of meteorites", at least
in the literature.
A. Greshake attributes Chladni's book to being the first based on Hoppe's
1970 work. See The history of meteoritics, published by The Geological
Society, 2006, p. 140.
However, an associate of mine brought to my attention the existence of
another catalogue, and it appears to me that this one is the earliest, at
least to my knowledge. More to come on this.

Hi Mark and List,
I should have been a bit more accurate in my labeling the book the first
on the subject. Your cites are correct, Mark. What would have been more
accurate would have been if I said I wanted to read the first "Catalog of
Meteorites". Published 1825, a few years before good ole Ernst's demise.
Here is the cite:
Chladni, E. F. F. (1825), E. F. F. Chladni's Beschreibung seiner Sammlung
vom Himmel herabgefallener Massen. Nebst einigen allgemeinen Bemerkungen
von Ebendemselben, Heft 2, Archiv fur die gesammte Naturlehre, pp. 200-240
Best regards,
Guido

I thought Chladni wrote 2 books on meteorites - one in 1794 and another in
1819 if my memory serves me correctly.
Which "first book" on meteorites was written in 1825?

Chladni's "Meteorites". The first book on the subject. 1825. I've wanted
to read it.

That's easy. Richard O. Norton's "Rocks From Space" This book has

I

loaned out
copies to others and all are well used.
Happy Hunting,
