Abstract:
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. (From the engraving by W. C. Sharpe after J. L. David in the possession of the Society.)

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 Some of Vandermonde’s unpublished papers will also be taken into consideration.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.

From the early 17th century the advent of physical and chemical sciences developed two important movements toward the explanation of all vital phenomena: the Iatrochemical and Iatromechanical Schools. The important research of their representatives such as Jan Baptist van Helmont, John Mayow, Robert Boyle, Gian Alfonso Borelli, Richard Lower, and Albrecht von Haller, followed by the discovery of the atmospheric gases, provided a fecund soil for the leading work of Lavoisier in respiratory physiology.

Abstract:
Antoine Lavoisier (1743–1794) was one of the most eminent scientists of the late 18th century. He is often referred to as the father of chemistry, in part because of his book Elementary Treatise on Chemistry. In addition he was a major figure in respiratory physiology, being the first person to recognize the true nature of oxygen, elucidating the similarities between respiration and combustion, and making the first measurements of human oxygen consumption under various conditions. Less well known are the contributions made by his wife, Marie-Anne Lavoisier. However, she was responsible for drawings of the experiments on oxygen consumption when the French revolution was imminent. These are of great interest because written descriptions are not available. Possible interpretations of the experiments are given here. In addition, her translations from English to French of papers by Priestley and others were critical in Lavoisier's demolition of the erroneous phlogiston theory. She also provided the engravings for her husband's textbook, thus documenting the extensive new equipment that he developed. In addition she undertook editorial work, for example in preparing his posthumous memoirs. The scientific collaboration of this husband-wife team is perhaps unique among the giants of respiratory physiology.

ISBN 0-631-178877-2 Arthur Donovan marks the 250th anniversary of the birth of Antoine Lavoisier (1743-1794) with a historical biography for readers who are already acquainted with the technical and scientific aspects of the Chemical Revolution and wish to know more of Lavoisier’s principal career as an administrator and financier in the terminal decades of the ancien régime and the opening years of the French Revolution. Although Lavoisier was a driven experimental scientist from his early days, and soon became wealthy enough to run a well-equipped laboratory with assistants, he was far too busy with technocratic administration to carry out much practical chemistry. His primary scientific strength lay in a critical assessment of the promise offered by new experimental results, discovered by other chemists, for some alternative to prevailing chemical ideas, which he had come to regard in youth as inadequate and flawed from a wide knowledge of the state of the art and a judicious repetition of previous experiments.

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?
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

Este trabalho tem como objetivo investigar o papel que possuiu a experimentação na história da Química e no Ensino de alguns conteúdos específicos desta ciência particular, buscando traçar as potencialidades e os limites da experimentação em seu ensino na atualidade. Para isso desenvolvemos no capítulo I, discussões sobre o papel da experiência e da experimentação para algumas filosofias/epistemologias entre os séculos XVII e XX. Utilizamos como referência as obras obras de Bacon, Hume, Comte, Bachelard, Popper e Kuhn. No capítulo II desenvolveremos uma pesquisa sobre a história da experimentação na Química, tomando como referência singular os estudos que Lavoisier realizou no século XVIII no Tratado Elementar de Química. No capítulo III fizemos um panorama do uso da experimentaçãona história no Ensino de Química no Brasil, finalizando nossas considerações com as reformas educacionais que geraram novos parâmetros e trabalhos acadêmicos sobre o uso da experimentação. Para estes capítulos anteriormente descritos usamos, como metodologia de estudo a análise internalista de texto. No capítulo IV, fizemos um levantamento das propostas experimentais contidas nos livros didáticos propostos pelo Programa Nacional do Livro Didático para o Ensino Médio do ano de 2012, e as analisarmos quanto aos pressupostos epistemológicos sobre experimentação. Os experimentos encontrados foram analisados quanto as questões de planejamento do professor, modalidade de experimentação e expectativa de retorno dos alunos contidas em todas as propostas de atividades experimentais. Ao final desta primeira análise buscamos por experimentos e trechos nos livros que abordavam o trabalho de Lovoisier. Estes trechos e experimentos foram analisados com a intenção de traçar as concepções de experimentação que os constituíram. Para esta etapa usamos a análise de conteúdo como metodologia de pesquisa.

For this, we described in Chapter I discussion on the role of experience and experimentaion for some philosophies/epistemologies between the seventeenth to twentieth centuries. We used as reference the works of Bacon. Hume, Comte, Bachelard, Popper, and Kuhn. In Chapter II we developed a research about the history of experimentation in chemistry, talking as a singular reference studies that Lavoisier made in the eighteenth century in the Elements of Chemistry. In Chapter III we made an overview of the use of experimentation in the history of the Chemistry Teaching in Brazil, ending our considerations with the educational reforms that generated new parameters and academic papers on the use of experimentation. For the chapters, we employed the internalist analysis of text as a methodology of study. In Chapter IV, we conducted a survey of experimental proposals contained, in the textbooks proposed by the National Textbooks Program for Secundary Education in the year of and we analyzed as to the epistemological assumptions about experimentation. The experiments found were analyzed regarding the teacher's planning issues, experimentation mode an feedback of the students included in all proposals for experimentation activities. At the end of this first analysis they were analyzed with the intention of tracing the trial conceptions that constituted them, we search for experiments and excerpts from books that addressed the Lavoisier's work. They were analyzed with the intention of tracing the trial conceptions that constituted them. For this step we used the content analysis as a methodology of study.

The present work focuses on illustrations of the pneumatic trough used by Lavoisier. Verify its role as an icon of modern chemistry. For this purpose we have analysed images of this apparatus presented in chemistry textbooks printed during the first half of XX century, regarding its relations to the text and also to ideas concerning the origins of modern chemistry. The selected primary sources include the Traité Elementaire de Chimie de Lavoisier and some Brasilian chemistry textbooks that were available in the first half of the XX century, such as: Noções de Chimica Inorganica (1875) by João Martins Teixeira; Traité Élémentaire de Chimie (1910) de Troost & Ed Pechard; Lições de Chimica (1915) and Chimica Geral Chimica Organica Analyse Chimica (1915) by J. Basin; Elementos de Chimica Inorganica (1918 and 1921) by Tibúrcio do Amaral; Pontos de Chimica (1937) by Almeida Cousin

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).

Abstract:
Until the mid-18th century, chemists had no understanding of the role of air in chemical changes. The Chemical Revolution was not merely conceptual, but also instrumental in that it involved the practical ability to manipulate, weigh, and measure gases using accurate balances, glass apparatus, and eudiometers. The chemist who transformed our views of elements, composition, and reorganized the way that chemists communicated was the French civil servant Antoine Lavoisier (1743–94). ‘Gases and atoms’ outlines Lavoisier’s work on chemistry nomenclature along with the key chemical discoveries by Joseph Black, Henry Cavendish, and Joseph Priestley. John Dalton’s atomic theory and the problem of ascertaining the molecular structure of water are also discussed.
