In the mid-eighteenth century in Paris, Macquer and Antoine Baume self-consciously began their chemistry course with a set of general principles rather than facts to "provide links between facts and make it easier for students to learn." They proposed at the same time to "indicate where principles are only suppositions, probabilities, and matter for further research." 16... 

In summary, to say it in modem terminology, Aristotle clarified the difference between mixture and combination , and for the first time in the human mind there arose some fundamental questions which have affected and concerned the chemists since then. It was not until the 18th century that Antoine Baume [3] (1728-1804) used, for the first time, the term combination instead of mixis, as can still be read in the papers of Becher (1635-1682) and Stahl (1660-1734). 

Antoine Baum , 1728-1804. French pharmacist and chemist. Author of a Chymie expenmentale et raisonnee in which he discussed chemical apparatus, chemical affinity, fire, air, earth, water, sulfur, gypsum, alum, clay, niter, gunpowder, borax, arsenic, glass, porcelain, and the common acids, alkalies, metals, and ores used m 1773. His hydrometer scale is still used. He was one of the first chemists to investigate platinum...

Historians have placed much emphasis on Rouelle s lectures as the epicenter of French Stahlism. Macquer s texts contributed as much to the same cause, as Diderot observed in a matter-of-fact fashion. Macquer actually exceeded his former teacher in his capacity to join chemical theory to practice, in part thanks to his close association with the apothecary Antoine Baume. Instead of simply reenacting the authorities as Rouelle did for the most part, Macquer integrated Stahl s ideas into operational chemistry. Noticeably different in Macquer s writings was the classification of the different types of chemical operations under the rubric of affinity chemistry. By providing a systematic classification and...

Antoine Baume (not Beaume) (Senlis, 26 February 1728-Paris, 15 October 1804), the son of an inn-keeper, was a pupil of E. F. Geoffrey s, in 1752 entered the College de Pharmacie in Paris, soon becoming master apothecary and demonstrator in chemistry, and at the same time carried on the business of pharmacist until 1780, and again after the Revolution had deprived him of his means. He became a member of the Institut in 1796. He says that he was lecture demonstrator to Macquer for 25 years, when they gave 16 courses, each with over 2000 experiments, and that he himself made over 10,000 experiments in addition j ai plus opere que lu, et je m en sais bon gre. Besides some communications to the Academy Baume wrote several books ...
