Many recent publications have focused on the chemical revolution of Lavoisier, providing a much broader context within which this work clearly fits. Perhaps the most important contemporary writer is Frederic Lawrence Holmes, who has published two books on Lavoisier, both based on detailed examination of Lavoisier s laboratory notebooks. These have provided the modern reader with a reliable analysis of Lavoisier s chemical thinking. Accounts of Lavoisier s broader activities have also been given by Arthur Donovan and Jean-Pierre Poirier. ...

The story of Lavoisier s discovery of oj gen is a stock feature of virtually all surveys of the history of chemistry. For a recent example, see Robert Siegfried, From Elements to Atoms A History of Chemical Composition (Philadelphia American Philosophical Society, 2002), pp. 163-182. For additional background to Lavoisier s famous discoveries, see Henry Guerlac, Lavoisier The Crucial Year The Background and Origin of His First Experiments on Combustion in 1772 (New York Gordon and Breach, 1961) Frederic Lawrence Holmes, Antoine Lavoisier— The Next Crucial Year Orthe Sources of His Quantitative Method in Chemistry (Princeton Princeton University Press, 1998) and Louise Palmer, The Early Scientific Work of Antoine Laurent Lavoisier In the Field and in the Laboratory, 1763-1767 (Ph.D. diss., Yale University, 1998).
