Because so many of Lavoisier s papers have been published in many different places, I will cite only those sources directly used. In order to facilitate the location of other publications of the same work, I will also give the appropriate reference number assigned by Denis I. Duveen and Herbert S. Klickstein, Bibliography of the Works of Antoine Laurent Lavoisier (London William Dawson, 1964). In this instance, DK-26. 

I have preferred to omit any annotation for the many old alchemical books to which Ayton referred in his letters to Gardner. In any case there was often more than one edition and Ayton hardly ever provided dates for the copies in his possession. For detailed biographical and bibliographical information the reader is referred to John Ferguson, Bibliotheca chemica (Glasgow, 1906) and [Denis I. Duveen], Bibliotheca alchemica et chemica (London, 1949). However, I have included footnote references to contemporary publications, personalities and events, and have indicated the location of the very few letters that were not in Gerald Yorke s collection. All the letters are to Gardner unless otherwise indicated.

FIGURE 170. Title page of Robert Boyle s wonderful essay in which he estimates the mass of the smallest measurable effluvia of silver, gold, silk, and alcohol vapors. In the Denis L Duveen collection there is a copy of this book autographed by Robert Boyle for Isaac Newton (kind of like the Old Testament autographed by Abraham for Jesus).
