‎---- EDITION ORIGINALE PREMIER TIRAGE ---- BON EXEMPLAIRE ---- "A. BAUME (1728/1804) worked in the dispensary of C.J. Geoffroy in Paris. He became maître apothicaire in 1752, opened his own shop in 1753, became a manufacturer and supplier of chemicals. From 1757 to 1773, he gave with P.J. MACQUER a series of courses in chemistry and pharmacy... The present work is the author's extensive textbook of chemistry. It is characterized by Partington as being "clear, detailed and practical" in its treatment of the subject and is one of the last major textbooks to be based on the phlogiston theory".
