Abstract:
Un primer acercamiento a Lavoisier. El polifacético Abordó problemas muy diversos en el laboratorio, y atacó y denunció, en sus presentaciones orales o escritas, cuanto creyó que era anticuado, por considerarlo poco científico o porque perjudicaba a la nación francesa. Sus incursiones por el campo de las recaudaciones de impuestos lo llevaron a plantear cambios revolucionarios en la agricultura y a proponer leyes de protección (seguros) para los campesinos.

Abstract:
This paper presents two hitherto unknown drawings by Marie-Anne-Pierrette Lavoisier dating to the early 1790s that illustrate the experiments on respiration and transpiration of her husband Antoine-Laurent Lavoisier and his assistant Armand Séguin. These works may be associated with the well-known sepia drawings that were published for the first time by Edouard Grimaux in 1888. Details contained in these newly discovered drawings by M.me Lavoisier provide fresh evidence as to the nature and aims of Lavoisier’s innovative experiments. As we will show, these drawings were intended to illustrate the collection of papers on respiration being prepared by Lavoisier for his Mémoires de physique et de chimie (1792-1805).

Abstract:
Abstract Notes sur la Musique are a set of notes devoted by the French chemist Antoine Laurent Lavoisier (1743–1794) to music theory and in particular to the rules for correct composition. Given its subject matter, Notes constitutes a unicum in Lavoisier’s corpus that has been little studied and never published. This essay will present the initial results of an in-depth analysis of this manuscript, followed by a transcription of the text. It will be argued that a large part of the Notes were derived from the writings of Alexandre Théophile Vandermonde (1735–1796), a mathematician who collaborated with Lavoisier on his scientific experiments, but who also developed his own system of harmony. After a brief examination of Vandermonde’s contributions to music theory, various passages from Lavoisier’s Notes will be evaluated in order to show the link between the two scientists’ perspectives on music. Some of Vandermonde’s unpublished papers will also be taken into consideration. On the basis of this analysis, hypotheses will be advanced regarding the circumstances that could have led Lavoisier to take an interest in music theory. Overall, this paper will shed light on a little-known side of Lavoisier’s cultural interests and activities and provide elements that could contribute to a better understanding of his Notes sur la Musique.

Introduction to the May 2004 issue of Notes and Records with a picture of Antoine Laurent de Lavoisier (FRS 1788). Born in Paris in 1743, Lavoisier was one of the luminaries of French science in the eighteenth century and the father of modern chemistry. He was guillotined in 1794 as one of the hated ‘ fermiers généraux ’ (chief tax collectors of the ancien régime ), a position he had held since 1779 only as a result of the unwise investment of an inheritance some 25 years before.

Abstract:
En 1789, lavoisier a 45 ans. Chimiste celebre dans toute l'europe, il est aussi un expert reconnu dans le domaine des finances. Quelle est aujourd'hui sa place dans l'histoire de la pensee economique en france? la premiere partie de la these analyse les formations recues: la pensee mercantiliste des fermiers generaux et de forbonnais, le liberalisme physiocratique de turgot et dupont de nemours, la mathematique sociale de condorcet, l'arithmetique politique de condillac, l'interventionnisme et les idees de bienfaisance de necker. Une pensee d'economiste originale et ferme murit, a la fois liberale, pragmatique, scientifique et sociale. La deuxieme partie met en lumiere le caractere tres concret de cette oeuvre : gestionnaire a la ferme generale et a la caisse d'escompte, industriel a la manufacture des tabacs et a la regie des poudres et salpetres, agronome et grand proprietaire terrien, createur d'entreprises, lavoisier est aussi l'avocat de l'aide sociale, de l'hygiene et de la sante publique. Il se montre novateur a l'assemblee provinciale de l'orleanais, au comite d'administration de l'agriculture, dans l'aventure des aerostats et de la production en grand d'hydrogene, lors de la creation du systeme metrique. Il est particulierement creatif dans la gestion des finances de la revolution : projet de banque de france, emission d'assignats, remboursement de la dette exigible, nouvelle fiscalite, evaluation du revenu national, previsions budgetaires, statistique et comptabilite nationales, tresorerie nationale. L'importance de cette entreprise et son actualite ne sont-ils pas des merites suffisants pour valoir a lavoisier le titre de precurseur de l'economie contemoraine?<br>In 1789, lovoisier is 45. Famous as a chemist all over europe, he is an expert in finance and banking. The aim of this thesis is to determine the importance of his contribution to the history of economics. The first part des cribes the different schools of thought who influenced his mind : mercantilism with forbonnais and the ferme generale; liberalism with the physiocrats, turgot and du pont de nemours; social sciences with condorcet; political and social reform with necker. The result is a new approach of political economics, together liberal, practical, scientific and generous. The second part analyses lavoisier's activities. In charge of accounts and controls at the highest levels with the ferme generale, executive at the manufactures of tobacco and powder and salpter, landowner encouraging the improvement of agriculture, daring entrepreneur, he is at the same time concerned by public welfare and social problems. He is responsible for many far reaching proposals at orleans provincial assembly, at the government's committee on agriculture, as an organizer of ballooning, hydrogen production or the establishment of the metric system of weights and measures. He shows great talent when he is in charge of financial resources during the french revolution : discount bank, assignats, government debt, taxes, budget, statistics and accounts department, national treasury are the main missions in which he takes an active part. The importance and actuality of these accomplishments should merit to lavoisier a title of precursor of modern economists

Abstract:
Within the period covered by Part II, 1789–1869, 37 true elements, almost all of them metals, were discovered. Prior to this time, about 14 metals had been discovered, excluding those that had been known from ancient times. The discovery of the elements during this period of interest is intimately related to the analytical methodologies available to chemists, as well as to a growing consciousness of just what an element is. Because these methods were also available to the less competent who may have lacked the skills to use them or the knowledge to interpret their results, their use also led to as many, if not more, erroneous discoveries in the same period. One can number among the major sources of error faulty interpretation of experimental data, the “rediscovery” of an already known element, sample impurities, very similar chemical properties (as in the case of the rare earths), the presence of an element in nature in very scarce or trace amounts, gross experimental errors, confusion of oxides and earths with their metals, and baseless dogmatic pronouncements by known “authorities” in the field. Antoine Laurent Lavoisier’s conceptualization of what constitutes an element was a radical break from the principles of alchemy. His stipulation that an element is a substance that cannot be further decomposed conferred an operational, pragmatic, concrete definition on what had previously been a more abstract concept. At the other end of the spectrum was the intuition of Dmitri Mendeleev who, contrary to the prevailing acceptance of Lavoisier’s concept, stressed the importance of retaining a more abstract, more fundamental sense of an element—an idea that in the long run enabled the development of the periodic table. What both men had in common is that they defined and named individual elements as those components of substances that could survive chemical change and whose presence in compounds could explain their physical and chemical properties. Mendeleev’s table has been immortalized in every chemistry classroom—and also concretely in Saint Petersburg, the city that saw most of his professional activity, by a spectacular building-sized model The analytical chemist depends on both of these concepts and indeed, analytical practice preceded Lavoisier’s concept by at least a century.

Abstract:
This essay deals with an issue that has never before been the focus of attention in the field of research on the history of chemistry in Italy: the diffusion of Mendeleev’s periodic system in our nation. In the following text we will analyze the situation in the period preceding the arrival of Mendeleev’s theory in Italy with regard to the matter of classifying elements. By doing so, it will be possible to demonstrate that—despite the superficiality and lack of accuracy of certain studies—Italian chemistry was already very willing to consider new proposals relating to the classification of elements. We will then attempt to illustrate how Mendeleev’s work not only attracted the attention of the most renowned Italian chemists, such as Augusto Piccini and Giacomo Ciamician, but also became widely used in university texts and secondary school textbooks. In order to understand the classification criteria for elements adopted by Italian chemists before Mendeleev and therefore the cultural terrain the law of periodicity was to take root in, it would be better to refer to a number of texts used widely for teaching in universities. We will examine four of these, published between 1819 and 1867. In all these texts, the term “simple bodies” appears, with the expression “simple substances” used less frequently, while Antoine-Laurent Lavoisier (1743–94), in his 1789 Traité élémentaire de chimie (Traité thereafter), uses the same term “simple substances” or “simple substances … which may be considered as the elements of bodies.” It is interesting to note that Vincenzo Dandolo’s Italian translation (first edition 1792) uses the expression “sostanze semplici,” interpreting quite literally the Frenchman’s choice of term. Thirty years after publication of the Traité, Antonio Santagata (1774–1858), professor of general chemistry at the Pontificia Università di Bologna, published his Lezioni di chimica elementare [Lessons in elementary chemistry], derived from Lezioni di chimica elementare: applicata alla medicina e alle arti [Lessons in Elementary Chemistry: Applied to Medicine and the Arts] (Bologna, 1804), written by his predecessor in the university chair, Pellegrino Salvigni (1777–1841).
