GUYTON DE MORVEAU, Louis-Bernard; MARET, Hugues; DURANDE, Je - Lot 228
GUYTON DE MORVEAU, Louis-Bernard; MARET, Hugues; DURANDE, Jean-François. Elémens de chymie théorique et pratique, rédigés dans un nouvel ordre d'après les découvertes modernes, pour servir de cours public de l'académie de Dijon, tome premier [- troisième], Dijon : Frantin, 1777. 3 volumes in-12 of [6], VIII, 394 p., 2 folding plates ; [4], XXVIII, 382 p. ; [4], X, 448, [4] p. Half tan basane, spines decorated, title and tomaison in pale basane (contemporary binding). A pleasant copy in a uniform contemporary binding (marginal stain on a few dozen leaves of volume I, but otherwise a very fresh copy, well bound and complete with its two folding plates mentioned in the notice to the binder). A cornerstone in the history of chemical nomenclature, which it is difficult to find complete with its 3 volumes. "The work was hailed throughout Europe as an important milestone and de Morveau became famous almost overnight. The treatise is important and interesting, for we can see that de Morveau already had the main lines fixed in his mind of those ideas which were later to appear in his Nomenclature chimique, which was first published by him in the Journal de Physique (1782), and finally adopted by Lavoisier, Fourcroy and Bethrollet in 1787" (Duveen). Neville, I, p. 568.
