1781 PHYSICS 1ed Sigaud
La Fond Experiments Science Air Chemistry Enlightenment
Sigaud de la Fond was an 18th-century
professor of physics who is most-remembered
for discovering that hydrogen combustion produces water. “Elements of Physics” was Lafond’s
landmark work on his physics experiments and discoveries, a work which would
greatly influence his later published “Dictionary
of Physics”. This encyclopedia-style
dictionary features countless entries of physics terms with detailed
explanations and experiment results throughout!
This 1781 first edition of La Fond’s “Dictionary of Physics” was published in
Paris by Serpent in five separate tomes.
