Fourcroy and the Annales de Chimie (1789-1815)[ 15 Jun 2018 ] | |
Born on June 15th, 1755, the chemist and revolutionary statesman Antoine-François de Fourcroy was one of the founders of the Annales de Chimie, a journal so fundamental to the emergence of the principles of modern chemistry. In his honor, here is an utmost rare complete 50-volumes collection of the first series of publication (1789-1815), in charming contemporary binding. A genuine monument, indeed ! | |
