Accum briefly traces the history of wet chemical analysis, with particular reference to the contributions of Boyle, Duclos, Bergman, Scheele, Kirwan, and Westrumb." Neville I, p. 8. Riffault (1754-1826), was general administrator of saltpeter and gunpowder manufacture in Paris and translated from English many other chemical texts. He also published several books of his own on saltpeter, dyeing, and chemistry. Some light foxing but a very good copy. ? Cole 8. Neville I, p. 10. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 2354
