The book is of interest because the author often discusses the views of the alchemists, and points out their errors."], Neville [454 (ed.1737) :"A "pioneering work on phlogiston chemistry" (Guerlac), which introduced Stahl’s theory into France. At the same time it caused a revolution in chemistry by the application of Newton’s principles to chemical doctrines."].
