‎---- EDITION ORIGINALE ---- BON EXEMPLAIRE ---- EXEMPLAIRE BIEN COMPLET DE SES DEUX PLANCHES AU TOME 1 ET DE SON TABLEAU DEPLIANT AU TOME 2 ---- "Two years after his promotion, (Pensionnaire in the Academy), SAGE's Analyse chimique et concordance des trois règnes was published. Here, he set forth the doctrine that formed the basis of his teaching...". (DSB XII p. 64) ---- "SAGE presents in this book the results of 25 years of work. The doctrine used in his public courses of chemistry serves as the basis. A firm believer in phlogiston, he also sets forth his peculiar ideas on l'acide igné, which for him is an elemental universal acid and the essence of gaseous substances... The work has three divisions : compounds (mixtes), earth and metals. At the end of vol. III are remarks on chemical affinity, some general rules on the analysis of mineral waters and instruction on the use of the blowpipe in analysis".
