Boerhaave, Herman. A new method of chemistry including the theory and practice of that art laid down on mechanical priciples, and accommodated to the uses of life. The whole making a clear and rational system of chemical philosophy. To which is prefix d a critical history of chemistry and chemists, from the origin of the art to the present time. Written by the very learned H. Boerhaave. .. translated from the printed ed., collated with the best manuscript copies. By P. Shaw, M.D. and E. Chambers. .. with additional notes and sculptures. 3rd ed ed. Translated by Peter Shaw and Ephraim Chambers. London J. Osborn T. Longman, 1727. 2 vols (xvi, 383, 335, [43] p.)... 

If chemical "principles" were understood by philosophers to be invisible or visible matter, "cause" was understood to be invisible force. Like so many other chemists in the eighteenth century, Macquer and Baume assumed that the forces of chemical affinity are simply instances of physical forces. 18 They took Newton to be a student of these affinity forces, and they found congenial Peter Shaw s view that "it was by means of chemistry that Sir Isaac Newton has made a great part of his discoveries in natural philosophy." 19 The notion of the identity of chemical and physical force was based in the principle of economy, expressed in the standard form that similar effects "must arise from the same law, if we are not to multiply causes.

In explaining Boerhaave s chemistry I shall use the 1741 translation of Boerhaave s lectures by the English physician Peter Shaw (1694-1736), rather than the official translation of Boerhaave s chemistry textbook by Timothy Dal-lowe (1735). According to Christie, Shaw s 1741 translation is as reasonable as Dallowe s they can both be claimed equally to reflect whatever it was Boerhaave s Latin expressed. I agree. Although Shaw sometimes quahfied Boerhaave s language, most of the time his translation is accurate.
