Yet another recent arrival, an offprint of three articles from 1928 by Hélène Metzger. #HélèneMetzger #HistoryOfChemistry #SystemsThatMatter
And this recent arrival almost completes the collected works by Hélène Metzger.

Two new arrivals that go very well together: another very promising-looking Hélène Metzger book (I am starting to be a fan), this one from 1938, with the pages still uncut. And a 1971 book on more or less the same topic.

Just started this one but so far it is absolutely mesmerising. Originally published in 1923.

An interesting page from the 1790 "Elemens de Chimie" by Jean-Antoine-Claude Chaptal, a central figure in the emergence of the chemical industry in France in the 18th century.
