Théorie des couleurs et des corps inflammables, et de leurs principes constituants: la lumière et le feu: basée sur les faits et sur les découvertes modernes

Abstract

First edition. Opoix (1745-1840) was a French scholar and apothecary, and a resident of Provins, a town in northern France. He was Inspector of Mineral Waters in Provins and a member of several learned societies. The present work, to judge from the 'Tables des Matières' is strong on th chemical aspects of colors. He was a prolific author; Poggendorff II, col 328 lists almost a dozen books or articles by him. (charles Wood, cat. 167, #92)
