Pierre Joseph Macquer 441693 — Elemens de chymie théorique
J.-Th. Herissant, 1751, Contemp. leather, gilt spine with red leather title label, Rare second edition (1st 1749) of this textbook in which the influential French chemist Macquer (1718-1784) gives the basic principles of chemistry and describes several chemical apparatus and their construction. Illustrated with 4 folding plates: 3 showing chemical apparatus and 1 with chemical symbols. A reprint of the other work of Macquer, \"Elemens de chymie pratique\" (2 volumes) was also issued in 1751. The 2 works together - in 3 volumes - formed a complete course of practical chemistry for beginners. Our copy - with a label \"Tome III\" on spine - was probably part of such a set.
