LAVOISIER 17 



I'Acad&nie des Sciences. M. Berthelot, Secretaire perpetuel pour les 

 sciences physiques. 



Eleven years after the death of Lavoisier, his widow 

 was married to Count Rumford the founder of the 

 Royal Institution, London. Two years after the death 

 of Lavoisier, his wife published his Memoires de Chimie 

 (1796-99), in four volumes; and between the years 1857 

 and 1896, Lavoisier's CEuvres Completes, in six volumes, 

 edited by Dumas and Grimaux, were published at the 

 expense of the French Government. 



We conclude our study of Lavoisier in the words of 

 Galileo : " Ricordiamoci in grazia, che il cercar la consti- 

 tuzione del mondo e de' maggiori e de' piu nobili problemi, 

 che sieno in natura."
