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).

"It was from this moment that Chaptal's brilliant career in science began.
The revolution in chemistry was at hand. However, the old doctrine of phlogiston still prevailed and it was this doctrine that Chaptal taught at first and in his first courses that he took up in his first work. He then quickly rallied to the ideas developed by Lavoisier. "(Flourens. Eloge de Chaptal. 1835)
