Synopsis
A General System Of Chemical Knowledge: And Its Application To The Phenomena Of Nature And Art. In Eleven Vols by Antoine-François de Fourcroy. This excerpt, from Volume IX (1804) translated by Nicholson, presents a systematic chemical-physiological survey of animal substances, arguing that animals are built from vegetable matter through animalization, and explores how anatomy, physiology, and chemistry intersect. The framework outlines four orders of facts: the structure and function of animals; general chemical properties of animal substances; a historical overview of animal chemistry in eight epochs; and applications and future prospects for physiology and medicine. It emphasizes instrument-based analysis, the unity of structure and function across species, and the central role of pneumatic chemistry and the concept of vital air. The text surveys blood and related humours, lymph, sweat, synovia, and the special case of milk, detailing chemical compositions, transformations, and the influence of age, sex, species, and disease. It also traces the development of the nine general chemical actions and ends with a historical treatment of prussic acid, highlighting Fourcroy’s reformulation of chemical anthropology.
