拍品专文

A collaborative work by Lavoisier with Claude Berthollet, Antoine de Fourcroy and Guyton de Morveau. Although the new chemical nomenclature had at first been developed by de Morveau before his conversion to the anti-phlogiston theory, it was used by Lavoisier as a means of propogating his new chemistry and "marked s complete break with the past." The work lists the 55 known elements in a series of tables, introducing many new terms which have remained in standard use. "Dephlogisticated air" became "oxygen," and "inflammable air" "hydrogen," while "phlogisticated air" (nitrogen) was renamed "azote."
