‎---- EDITION ORIGINALE ---- BON EXEMPLAIRE ---- "As a scientist CADET is noteworthy for his part in the diffusion and popularization of the new chemistry... His most important work, the four-volume Dictionnaire de chimie, published in 1803 and dedicated to Fourcroy, replaced the older chemical dictionary of Macquer. CADET's Dictionnaire clearly elucidated the revolutionary changes that had occurred in chemistry and in chemical nomenclature...". (DSB III p. 6) ---- "CADET's Dictionnaire follows the form of Macquer's and brings it up to date. It is an entirely new work designed to be useful to chemists in need of a compact dictionary. The table of authors in T. IV gives references to their work and where it is quoted in the dictionary". (Cole n° 227) ---- Partington III p. 96**40040/1004/10040.P1+1005/CART.3‎
