First edition.
Marcellin Berthelot (1827-1907), professor at the Collège de France and the School of Pharmacy, is an emblematic figure of French chemistry. His Traité élémentaire de chimie organique (Elementary Treatise on Organic Chemistry) is a key work for teaching and disseminating knowledge in organic chemistry in the 19th century. It is part of the movement that saw organic chemistry structure itself into an autonomous scientific discipline, moving away from vitalistic conceptions. This work was essential for the training of chemists of the time, detailing the fundamental principles and reactions of organic compounds.

The rare first edition, first issue.
Christophe Glaser (1629-1672?) Is a Swiss doctor and pharmacist who became ordinary apothecary of King Louis XIV. Nicolas Lemery will be trained at Glaser but quickly leaves him not supporting his almost esoteric teaching.
Glaser crosses the history in the poison case. It is most probably in her pharmacy that the Marquise de Brinvilliers obtained the vials of poison. According to his testimony Glaser was sent to Italy by Fouquet to learn the secrets of Italian poisons.
Caillet attributes this book to Moyse Charas, who indeed mentions in the preface to his Thériaque that he published a Treatise on Chemistry under the name of Glaser.

We find in this book, curious preparations such as human skull oil or the distillation of viper flesh.

Lamarck's first work in the field of chemistry in which he reverses Lavoisier's chemical revolution and proposes a system based on the theory of the four elements and phlogiston.
Apart from expounding his bizarre chemical theories, the book is important for his later views on biology and geology. Of interest is the section "Recherches sur les têtres organiques", which sets out his ideas on the origin of life before he abandoned his belief in a fixed species and became an evolutionist.
Lamarck's "chemical theories played an important part in the development of his ideas the origin of species, as they provived a materialistic definition of life, reproduction and evolution." (Norman).
