De la recherche des principes des mixtes naturels chez Du Clos

Samuel Cottereau Du Clos (1598–1685) appears as the first French chemist to combine in chemistry (for him, the science of substances, the physics of qualities) demonstrations using the laws of motion with demonstrations using the qualities of chemical principles. In this way, he brought to bear two...
