To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
It was, indeed, the first work that deserved to be regarded as a textbook of modern chemistry. Among her drawings are two of special interest. They represent her as seated at a table in the laboratory, taking notes, while her husband and his assistant, Seguin, are making an experiment on the phenomena of respiration. 1 All Mme. Lavoisier's writings testify to her great admi- ration of the genius of her husband. Intimately associated with him in his work, she combatted for the triumph of his ide...as and sought to make converts to them. One of her most notable converts was the Swiss chemist, de Saussure. "You have, Madame, " he writes her, "triumphed over my doubts, at least in the matter of phlogiston, which is the principal object of the interesting work of which you have done me the honor of sending me a copy. ' ' After Lavoisier 's tragic death on the guillotine, it was his devoted wife who edited his Memoirs on Chemistry, of which Lavoisier had himself projected the publication. The two volumes constituting this work were not for sale, but were gratuitously distributed by the bereaved widow among the most eminent scientific men of the epoch.
