Antoine Laurent Lavoisier was born in Paris in 1743. He was the son of Jean Antoine
Lavoisier, a lawyer, and Émilie Punctis, who belonged to a wealthy Parisian family,
and died when he was two. Then he attended the Collège Mazarin where he studied classics
and mathematics. In 1763, he passed the Bachelor of Law degree. At this time he got
interested in mineralogy and chemistry and attended Rouelle's classes. In 1766-1767,
he went on some field trips with Jean Etienne Guettard, to study the stratigraphy
of soils and make an inventory of the mineralogical resources of France.
In 1768, he was admitted to the Académie des Sciences, where he presented his research
on the chemical analysis of water. The same year, he entered the Ferme Générale, a
private company in charge of collecting indirect taxes for the king. Lavoisier became
first an inspector of one of the Ferme Générale commissions, the Tobacco commission,
where his supervisor was Jacques Paulze. On December 16, 1771, Lavoisier married his
thirteen-year-old daughter, Marie-Anne-Pierrette Paulze, who was also the grandniece
of the powerful Abbé Terray, the Controller General of Finance. In 1775, Lavoisier
entered the Régie des Poudres et Salpêtres, a private company responsible for the
production, control and refining of saltpeter and the manufacture of gunpowder in
France. As a Fermier Général and a member of the Régie des Poudres et Salpêtres, Lavoisier
became interested in economic theories, physiocratic ideas, agronomy, and public finance.
Simultaneously, from 1772, Lavoisier studied pneumatic chemistry, the chemistry of
gases, borrowing experimental facts from English scientists, like Priestley. In 1773,
he published the Opuscules physiques et chimiques, where he considered atmospheric air as a mixture, that established his reputation
as a chemist. In the 1770's, he discovered that the components of air were mainly
oxygen and nitrogen, and defined combustion and calcination as chemical reactions.
Then, with Guyton de Morveau, Berthollet and Fourcroy he elaborated a new method of
chemical nomenclature, giving chemistry a clear language, published in 1787 under
the title of Méthode de nomenclature chimique. At least, in 1789, his Traité élémentaire de chimie explained the essential points of the new chemistry, like the composition of air
and water and the law of the conservation of matter in chemical reactions, and depicted
the experimental methods of a real scientific approach. The thirteen plates illustrating
the work had been engraved by Marie-Anne Lavoisier
In 1789, Lavoisier failed to be elected at the Estates General, and steered clear
of political affairs. He resigned from his office at the Ferme Générale shortly before
its abolition in 1791, but was considered as an consultant in financial affairs and
became the director of the Discount Bank, and a commissioner of the Public Treasury,
and expressed many ideas about the reforms of French public finance and taxation.
At the same time, he took part to the major reform of the unification of the weights
and measures system. But, as a former Fermier Général and like his peers, among them
his father-in-law, Jacques Paulze, he was arrested in 1794. They were accused of exactions
and embezzlement and transferred to the Conciergerie. On the 19 floréal an II (May
8, 1794), they were all sentenced to death and executed.
After Antoine Laurent Lavoisier's death, his properties were consficated by the State.
In 1795, after a campaign, Marie-Anne Lavoisier obtained the restoration of her property.
In the same time, she published an edition of Lavoisier's works. In 1805, she married
an American scientist, Benjamin Thomson, who had become Count Rumford in 1791.
The Lavoisier manuscript collection (1766-1834) contains materials by, to or about
Antoine Laurent Lavoisier and his wife, Marie-Anne-Pierrette Lavoisier, including
material on their scientific work, correspondence, manuscripts, certificates, deeds,
contracts, plates for publications, maps and drawings, memorabilia and artifacts.
Letters include correspondence with the Académie des Sciences, Jean Sylvain Bailly,
François Baudon, Anne-Margueritte-Charlotte Baudon, Antoine Baumé, Claude-Louis
Berthollet, Jean-Antoine-Claude Chaptal, Joseph Black, Henri Louis Duhamel du Monceau,
Auguste Denis Fougeroux de Bondaroy, Antoine-François de Fourcroy, Benjamin Franklin
(photocopy of one letter), Jean-Antoine Lavoisier, Joseph Louis Lagrange, Marie-Anne-Pierrette
Lavoisier, Gaspard Monge, Jacques Paulze, and the Régie des Poudres et Salpêtres.
Other documents relate to Benoist LaForte, the Ferme Générale, the Académie des
Sciences, Mathurin-Jacques Brisson, Joseph Priestley, the Régie des Poudres et Salpêtres,
and other aspects of Lavoisier's life and work and those of his associates.
PROVENANCE
The bulk of the collection came down through the Chazelles family and was subsequently
acquired by Lavoisier bibliographer Denis Duveen. Duveen sold the collection after
finishing the bibliography. The Cornell Library purchased the collection from dealer
H.P. Kraus in 1963. Additional material was collected by Pierre Dejours, and subsequently
the Library purchased the Dejours material from Librairie Hatchuel in 2006.
Access restricted to the permission of the curator.
Material in Boxes 24, 26f, and 27a have possible mold contamination. Individuals with
weak immune systems may need to take extra precautions.
Due to the fragile nature of the material in Box 25b, it should only be handled by
RMC staff members.
