Hardcover. Etat : Good. Macquer [Pierre-Joseph] Dictionnaire de chymie, contenant la théorie et la pratique de cette science . Seconde edition, revue & considérablement augmentée. Paris, P.Fr.

Pierre-Joseph Macquer (1718-84) first published his celebrated chemical encyclopaedia in 1766 in two volumes, when he was appointed inspector of dye works. The present much enlarged second edition comprising four volumes is the first to include the twenty-page article on dyeing (pp22-53) in volume iv containing also a subject index (pp335-754), an author's index (pp755-774) and [4]p errata. Macquer believed that the fastening of colour par ticles to textile fibres depended on the degree of af f inity between dye substance and fibre; he divided dyes into three classes, those needing no prepara tion (substantival dyes), those such as indigo which required treatment such as fermentation before they could be used, and the majority which were based on the application of mordant (adjectival dyes). A few isolated worm holes in first quire of second vol ume, tailend blank title margin of volume 4 lightly discoloured, otherwise an attractive set, in original state.
