• [web] Title page: «Попытка химическаго пониманія міровог эѳира. Д. Менделѣевъ. С.-Петербургъ. Типо-литографія М. П. Фроловой, Галерная ул. д. № 6. 1905». Censor's approval: "Дозволено цензурою. С.-Петербургъ, 7-го августа 1905 г." [read: text layer of the downloaded PDF, p.1]
• [read: text layer] The newtonium footnote is there (numbered 18 in this edition): «Мнѣ бы хотѣлось предварительно назвать его „ньютоніемъ“ — въ честь безсмертнаго Ньютона». So are the Yarkovsky footnote, the Errera zero-group footnote, the "since 1904" quartz-permeation footnote, and two references to the 8th edition of Основы химии (1906). The edition was therefore revised in mid-1905, after the 1904 English translation.
• The periodic table on printed p.25 is not checked in this run; render the page image to see whether it prints x and y. (Habr, below, shows a photograph of this table with x and y.)
• The site also hosts the works of V. A. Atsyukovsky (Ацюковский; "Общая эфиродинамика", General etherodynamics). A search-result snippet from it says Mendeleev included the ether in the table as "newtonium" in a "zero" row and that the row was "later removed". This is Atsyukovsky's characterization: he is an advocate of a modern gas-like ether. Not opened this run.
