Quotes Tagged "antoine-francois-fourcroy"

You have heard of the new chemical nomenclature endeavored to be introduced by Lavoisier, Fourcroy, &c. Other chemists of this country, of equal note, reject it, and prove in my opinion that it is premature, insufficient and false. These latter are joined by the British chemists; and upon the whole, I think the new nomenclature will be rejected, after doing more harm than good. There are some good publications in it, which must be translated into the ordinary chemical language before they will be useful.
— Thomas Jefferson Writings: Autobiography / Notes on the State of Virginia / Public and Private Papers / Addresses / Letters
