Duveen, was published by Dawsons of Pall Mall in 1965. First edition. This bibliography covers Antoine Lavoisier (1743-1794), the French chemist who laid the foundation for modern chemistry. It presents chronologically arranged annotated lists of Lavoisier's contributions to periodical works, major separate works, minor separate works and contributions to separate works, miscellanea in other works, reports by Lavoisier to the Academie on other works, and collected works. The Foreword notes, "The principle has been followed in this bibliography of listing each paper and every volume in which Lavoisier's name is given as one of the authors or which were issued by an organization during his tenure of executive office, also in those cases in which his authorship could not be incontestably proved or even when the evidence suggested that he did not write a specific article although he signed his name to it. The circumstances are pointed out in each individual case of this type. All anonymous publications, the original manuscripts of which are preserved and which are printed in the Oeuvres, have also been included. In the notes to each item, Lavoisier's relationship to the particular piece under consideration has always been indicated." The Supplement, comprising over 700 additional items, follows the same principles and includes findings from the subsequent decade of research.
