Otherwise, a very good copy - clean, bright and unmarked - of this scarce signed second edition of an important early work on chemistry. ~K~ In French. Antoine Francois, comte de Fourcroy (1755 - 1809) was a French chemist and a contemporary of Antoine Lavoisier. Fourcroy collaborated with Lavoisier, Guyton de Morveau, and Claude Berthollet on the Methode de nomenclature chimique, a work that helped standardize chemical nomenclature. This, Philosophie Chemique, is the second separate edition of a work that first appeared in the Encyclopedie Methodique, vol. II, Paris, 1792, and in the same year was printed separately. It became extremely popular as a summary of antiphlogistic chemistry, and was translated into 11 languages. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers K-0361-5454
