CHEMISTRY. 
matic fyftem; and the hiftory of fcience, oil recording 
his too early death, will never fail to ftigmatize thofe re¬ 
volutionary mil'creants, who caufed the head of this in¬ 
nocent man to drop on the 7th of May, 1794, under the 
axe of the guillotine. 
Although the prelent Treatife is principally made up 
from the valuable writings of Lavoilier, Fourcroy, and La 
Grange ; yet have we occafionally confulted and improved 
from the following lift of authors, whofe names we here 
fet down, as well to acknowledge our own obligations 
on the (core of information, as to put it in the power of 
thole who wilh to read more deeply in chemiftry, what 
authors they might confult with advantage and pleafure.

The Nomenclature, or words forming the language of 
chemiftry, leems to be the next objeft that fhotild claim 
the attention of a learner. Without a.due knowledge 
of this, and a frequent exercife of the terms made ufe of, 
tlie progrefs will be (low, and the embarraffment great, 
in purfuing an enquiry into the different branches of 
this fcience. To affift the learner, and render a reference 
to all the terms more eafy and familiar, we fhall here 
let down the various fynonims, or words ufed in the an¬ 
cient fyftem, with thofe of the new oppofite to them. 
This will be found extremely convenient on many occa- 
lions ; for even among drug-gifts, and medical men, the 
old names of chemical fubltances and praparata, will, 
for a time, continue better known than the new ones 5 
befides that, a common reader may gradually, and with¬ 
out trouble, become acquainted with both nomencla¬ 
tures. A fimilar advantage will a’lfo, by this means, be 
derived to thofe who, at prefent, acquainted only with 
the new ftyle, may, after fome time, with to read the 
works of former chemifts, written in the old language ; 
feveral of which are {fill valuable on many accounts.
