Venel follows Rouelles view that it is fixed fire. Peculiarly, however, although Jean-Claude Guedons careful and extensive study of chemistry in the Encyclopedie has identified twenty-one references to the article Phlo-gistique, the article itself, in volume XII, consists in its entirety of only one sentence It is the same as elementary fire. It is obvious that a larger and more elaborate article was once planned but, for reasons now unknown, abandoned. 

These lectures were never published, however. For a full manuscript, see Cours de chymie de M. Rouelle, redige par M. Diderot, mss. 564-565, Bordeaux Public Library.
