Identifier: 2016-037-002
Scope and content
The notebook contains observations of several hundred experiments dealing with topics such as the solubility of salts, sulfates and other compounds, fermentation, tobacco, and distillation of alcohols. Of special interest are the notes in Lussac's hand dated 1824 "dissolution d' indigo" and dealing with the standardization of indigo solutions. In the published paper on this topic Lussac first coined the terms "pipettes" and "burettes" and page 119 shows his drawing of a pipette.
