Autograph notes on nitre, n.d.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/123466538

The notes are classified under the headings "nitre des végetaux," "- Nitre," "Salpêtre." " - Sa formation," "- Ses mélanges," "- Nitre ammoniacal," etc. They fill from six lines to a full page for each sheet, except for the draft of one long article, apparently for the planned encyclopedia, with references to Antoine Lavoisier and Joseph Priestley. This article covers five and a half pages in Adanson's small hand and is illustrated with tiny pen-and-ink drawings of apparatus. There are also two clippings from newspapers (1777-1778) with underlinings and marginal notes.

20 leaves.
