GAUB Jerome David Adversariorum varii argumenti.

Wellcome, p. 95; not in  Hoover.

First edition illustrated with a plate showing instruments used in chemical experiments.

Very rare, Hoover only mentions the inaugural lecture that Gaub gave when he succeeded Boerhaave in the chair of chemistry at the University of Leiden.

"Gaub (1705-1780) studied at Halle, Amsterdam, Harderwyk, and Leiden under Boerhaave. In 1729 he succeeded Boerhaave. Gaub was the author of a number of standard works on pharmaceutical chemistry and materia medica" (Hoover).

Commentary on the properties of various substances: sea water, aromatic nuts, nicotine, radix indica, etc.
