[The plan of Mésaize's chemistry course]

Pierre-François Mésaize was an apothecary, and later a pharmacist, who redacted the plan of Chemistry lessons he delivered from 1777 to 1781, in Rouen. This course was divided in three parts corresponding to the three kingdoms of nature. The items presented in this plan were compared to those which were treated in a Chemistry book published by Antoine Baumé in 1773, for the mineral kingdom, and to the famous Eléments de pharmacie of the same author for vegetable and animal kingdoms. The themes were almost the same except for foods chemistry and for biochemistry in which Mésaize was more interested than Baumé.
