Title:
Nicolas Lémery, French Chemist
Caption:
Nicolas Lémery (November 17, 1645 - June 19, 1715) was a French chemist. He did not concern himself with theoretical speculations, but holding chemistry to be a demonstrative science, confined himself to the straightforward exposition of facts and experiments. His lectures were hugely popular with fashionable society and pharmaceutical students, attracting many foreigners. His style was unusual at the time because he demonstrated many experiments himself. He shunned alchemists, and did not regard the quest of the philosopher's stone and the elixir of life as the sole end of his science. He was one of the first to develop theories on acid-base chemist.
