Title: A synopsis of the chemical characters adapted to the new nomenclature by Messrs. Hassenfratz and Adet, systematically arranged by W. Jackson, practical chemist
Identifier(s): text:310; APSimg6530; Goodman Number: 131; 973 C683 No. 353
Description: Antoine Lavoisier's anti-phlogiston theory required a new chemical nomenclature to facilitate its dissemination and further development. He therefore collaborated with several French chemists to produce Méthode de nomenclature chimique (1787), a work which had appended to it two papers by Jean-Henri Hassenfratz and Pierre-Auguste Adet giving symbols for the new chemistry. William Jackson assembled the charts of symbols from the English translation of Méthode by John St. John and published the above broadside, dedicated to John C. Lettsom, a London physician. Lettsom gave this copy to the American Philosophical Society in 1800. Ill.: table of chemical characters.; For the explanation which accompanied this broadside, see Goodman #132.
