Abstract
I AM sorry that Mr. Rodwell should have thought it necessary to revive the old oxygen quarrel, and the more so, as he has taken an unpatriotic pact against Priestley, and indorsed the complacent statement of Wurtz, that chemistry is a French science founded by Lavoisier; forgetting, perhaps, that the title, “La Chimie Française” was invented by Fourcroy, and objected to by Lavoisier.
