"Introduction to Chemistry" - Kagakuyoron

...Based on this fact, Lavoisier showed that the combustion of a substance is a reaction with oxygen in the air (1784). Based on his theory of combustion, Lavoisier published two volumes of Elements of Chemistry (1789), a textbook for the coming generation of chemists. This book is said to occupy the same position in physics as Newton's Principia. ...

From [Science Education]

…Galileo’s Dialogue Concerning the Earth (1632) and Lectures on the New Science (1638), in which he published his discoveries in astronomy and mechanics, were enlightening and educational in nature, and were written in Italian rather than Latin, the international academic language of the time. With the exception of Newton’s Principia (1687), Newton’s Optics (1704) and Lavoisier’s Elements of Chemistry (1789) were written in English and French, respectively, which also reflects the unity of education, enlightenment, and research.

…この事実に基づき,ラボアジエは物質の燃焼が空気中の酸素との化合であることを示した(1784)。ラボアジエは彼の燃焼理論を基礎として,きたるべき世代の化学者のための教科書《化学要論》2巻(1789)を出版した。この本は物理学のなかでニュートンの《プリンキピア》が占めているものと同じ位置を占めているといわれている。…

【科学教育】より

…ガリレイがその天文学や力学上の諸発見を発表した《天文対話》(1632)や《新科学講話》(1638)は,啓蒙的,教育的な性格を備えており,当時の国際的な学問用語のラテン語でなく,イタリア語で書かれていた。ニュートンの《プリンキピア》(1687)は例外だが,ニュートンの《光学》(1704)やラボアジエの《化学要論》(1789)が英語,フランス語で書かれたのも,教育,啓蒙と研究の一体感の現れである。
