[064] Third edition â" this copy well preserved in the original blue wrappers, rarely found in this state. Cole describes something of the content of the plates: 1) a view of a laboratory; 2) Guyton de Morveau's portable laboratory (pl. 2), and Bergman's blowpipe (pl. 3). / The book is divided into five parts: I, Preliminary information; II, General chemistry, including attraction, light, caloric, gases, acids, earths, alkalies and salts; III, Metals; IV, Vegetable Substances; V, Animal Substances. / Of the second edition, Cole states: ". . . has been expanded considerably, especially the first part. Material on the laboratory, a glossary of terms, a section on chemical analysis, one on crystallography and one on mineral waters have been included for the first time" [now second time!]. / Edme-Jean Baptiste Bouillon-Lagrange was a French chemist and pharmacist. He was Fourcroy's assistant from 1788. He was a professor of chemistry at the Ecole de pharmacie of Paris, later serving as director of the school. He was owner of a pharmacy on Rue Saint-Martin in Paris. Being influenced by Antoine Francois Fourcroy and Claude Louis Berthollet, in 1789 he began devoting his time and energies to chemical research. Subsequently, he became an instructor at the Ecole de pharmacie in Paris. He served as a military pharmacist during the Napoleonic campaigns. His studies in the field of chemistry involved investigations of truffles, willow bark, ambergris, garlic, starch, sea water, milk, etc. â" Biographie par la Societe d'Histoire de la Pharmacie. / Bouillon-Lagrange "was an early pioneer in the study of organic chemistry and discovered camphoric anhydride. His researches included investigations on suberic acid and its compounds, tannic and gallic acids, the preparation of ethyl nitrate, and other organic compounds. The Manuel was very popular, reaching a fifth edition (3 vols. 1812) . . ." â" Neville.
