LAVOISIER, Antoine-Laurent (1743-1794). Traité élémentaire de chimie, présenté dans un ordre nouveau, et d'après les découvertes modernes […] Nouvelle edition, à laquelle on a joint Nomenclature Ancienne & Moderne. Paris: Cuchet, 1789.
The true second edition, published the same year as the first edition, with the addition of the Nomenclature Ancienne & Moderne. The ‘culmination of Lavoisier's achievement’ the Traité was ‘neither a general reference work nor a technical monograph’ but ‘a succinct exposition of Lavoisier’s discoveries (and those of his disciples) and an introduction to the new way of approaching chemistry’ (DSB VIII, pp. 81-82). This edition precedes Cuchet’s 1793 publication, which was erroneously labelled ‘Seconde édition’. Wellcome III, p.461.
3 volumes, octavo (197 x 118mm). 13 engraved plates, 3 folding tables (occasional faint browning). Contemporary calf, red and black lettering-pieces, spines gilt (joints and corners slightly rubbed). Provenance: ‘Bibliotheque de Mr. Cl. de Riverieulx de Varax’ (bookplate) – traces of removed label.
