Annotation:
This is a good starting point for researchers looking for information about Antoine-Laurent de Lavoisier. The site provides a chapter introduction to Lavoisier, a chemist, geologist, meteorologist, biologist, mathematician and public health philosopher during the late eighteenth-century. The site also provides a lengthy list of books written by and about Lavoisier. Pages here also provide information about finding and using Lavoisier's personal papers, images, links to related sites and other information about Lavoisier including the location of his mineralogical collection. The introduction to Lavoisier and bibliography should prove particularly useful.
