FRANKLIN BACHE (1792-1864) A system of chemistry for the use of students of medicine. Printed and published for the author 1819 xvi, 624 pp., illus. 21.5 cm.

Bache was for many years professor of chemistry at Jefferson College and played an important role in elevating the status of that school to its nineteenth-century prominence. He labored for thirty years on the Dispensatory of the United States and its various revisions; he contributed generously to the medical journals of his day, even editing for a time the North American medical and surgical journal. This chemistry text is his earliest work.
