One of the first English chemists to adopt Antoine Lavoisier’s (1743-1794) new system of chemistry, George Pearson (1751–1828), published a shorter and very incomplete translation of the Nomenclature in 1794. The present work, dedicated to Richard Kirwan and signed by George Pearson, is the greatly enlarged, corrected, and improved second and final edition in English, containing six new tables, two new plates of symbols, and
about one hundred pages more material. The four large tables of "Chemical Nomenclature” of the first edition have been corrected and improved.
Digitized content includes the title page and a selection of notable tables from the work.
