    OF THE TRANSLATOR. H E very high charafter of Mr Lavoifier A as a chemical philofopher, and the great revolution which, in the opinion of many ex- cellent chemifts, he has elFedled in the theory of chemiftry, has long made it much defired to have a connetted account of his difcoveries, and of the new theory he has founded upon the mo- dern experiments written by himfelf. This is now accompliflied by the publication of his Elements of Chemiftry; therefore no excufe can be at all neceflary for giving the following work to the public in an Englifh drefs; and the only hefitation of the Tranflator is with regard to his own abilities for the talk. He is moft ready to confefs, that his knowledge of the compofition of language fit for publication is far inferior
