Lavoisier et l'«Encyclopédie méthodique»
Le manuscrit des régisseurs des Poudres et salpêtres pour le «Dictionnaire de l’Artillerie» (1787)

In 1787 Lavoisier and his colleagues wrote articles for the «Dictionnaire de l’Artillerie»; their manuscript is here published for the first time, from the different versions kept at the Archives of the Académie des Sciences. Dismissing a dogmatic statement of their own field, the 'régisseurs' preferred to write didactic articles for the general public. They presented a state of their experimental research in progress. Lavoisier himself was to write most of the articles dealing with Science.
