LAVOISIER Antoine-Laurent de Traité élémentaire de chimie, présenté dans un ordre nouveau et d’après les découvertes modernes…

Cole, 780; Duveen & Klickstein, 159.

A very good edition.

It is enlarged by two memoirs on respiration, and two memoirs on transpiration, first published after Lavoisier's death.

Headpiece of volume 1 torn, weak joints, three small ink stains on the spines, however a good copy.

Alexandre Girard's copy, chemist at the Muséum d'Histoire Naturelle and the École Pratique des Hautes Études, with his handwritten bookplate on endpaper and a few notes on the title and Lavoisier's name handwritten on the edges.
