By the use of the balance of weight determination at every chemical change and the building of a rational system of elements Lavoisier laid the foundation of modern chemistry.

Original blind and gilt-stamped maroon cloth; heavily rubbed silver-fish trainings. Good . "In 1889 to celebrate the centenary of the French Revolution Berthelot . . . was called upon to commemorate men of science. He prepared material for a lecture on Lavoisier and on the basis of this and Grimaux's study of 1888 he produced a book La revolution chimique Lavoisier. One detects special sympathy by the patriotic nineteenth-century French chemist for the eighteenth-century liberal who had also used his scientific knowledge to help his country. Berthelot's publication of extracts from the laboratory notebooks of Lavoisier which were in the possession of the Academy performed a valuable service to the history of science. Whatever criticisms may be leveled at Berthelot's earlier publications on the history of chemistry this study was an astonishing achievement" – DSB vol. II p. 64. Felix Alcan, 1890. hardcover books
