Large embossed gold motif on front cover.  An authoritative biography and still a valuable account of Lavoisier's key discoveries.  The Dictionary of Scientific Biography comments "Berthelot's publication of extracts from the laboratory notebooks of Lavoisier, which were in the possession of the Academy, performed a valuable service to the history of science. Whatever criticisms may be leveled at Berthelot's earlier publications on the history of chemistry, this study was an astonishing achievement."
