Description

[Autographs]. [Savants, sciences]. Important collection of signed letters, documents and papers, almost all autographed. XVIIe-XIX centuries, by forty-six scientists (moderate usage defects, the most serious are noted). This collection was mainly built up by Antoine Boutron (1796-1879), pharmacist and chemist, and autograph collector. It contains notes written by Boutron himself, as well as letters he received from colleagues and friends, and others he collected. There are also items addressed to or collected by his son-in-law Edmond (Edme, dit) Frémy (1814-1894); Frémy was also an eminent chemist: as professor at the Ecole Polytechnique, he succeeded Théophile-Jules Pelouze, who at the start of his career had received the support of Antoine Boutron. He was a member of the Académie des Sciences and Director of the Muséum d'Histoire naturelle. - ARAGO, François (1786-1853). Astronomer and physicist. 1 autograph draft in which he praises Lakanal. 1 p. and 2 lines in-folio + 1 autograph envelope addressed to Boutron + 1 printed notice + 1 lithograph portrait (freckles) ? - ADANSON, Michel (1727-1806).
