Jeferson bought several copies of this book from
Froullé in 1787, and from
Reibelt in 1804. His own copy was probably one of those purchased from Froullé in June 1787, broché price
24 (livres); the undated manuscript catalogue has a copy entered at that price.
Jefferson sent a copy to the Rev. James Madison at Williamsburg, with a letter dated from Paris, August 13, 1787, explaining
that in Fourcroy’s Chemistry “
all the later discoveries are digested,” and in sending a copy to David Rittenhouse on September 18 he described the book as “
the best & most complete publication in that line which we have had for some time past.”
Antoine François de Fourcroy, 1755-1802, French chemist and physician. He succeeded Macquer in the chair of chemistry in the Jardin des Plantes, and was
a member of the committee with Berthollet and Guyton de Morveau to draw up the method of chemical nomenclature.
