Mckie, Douglas
Variant namesAntoine Lavoisier (1743-1794) was a chemist who is remembered for discovering the role that oxygen played in chemical reactions. He was born in Paris and educated in the College des Quatre Nations. Lavoisier was a moderate constitutionalist who identified with the Girondist faction in the National Assembly. Politically he was associated with the physiocrats and Pierre Samuel du Pont de Nemours. However, he served Louis XVI as a tax farmer. This led to his arrest and execution during the Reign of Terror.
