VAUQUELIN, LOUIS NICOLAS (1763-1829)

This article appears in Volume V27, Page 961 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: VAN-VIR
VAUQUELIN, LOUIS NICOLAS (1763-1829) , French chemist, was born at Saint-Andre-d'Hebertot in Normandy on the 16th of May 1763. His first acquaintance with
chemistry
  was gained as laboratory boy to an apothecary in Rouen (1777-1779), and after various vicissitudes he obtained an introduction to A. F.
Fourcroy
 , in whose laboratory he was an assistant_from 1783-1791. At first his
work
  appeared as that of his master and patron, then in their
joint
 -names; but in 1790 he began to publish on his own authority, and between that year and 1833 his name is associated with 376 papers. Most of these were simple records of patient and laborious analytical operations, and it is perhaps surprising that among all the substances he analysed he only detected two new elementsberyllium (1798) in beryl and chromium (1797) in a red lead ore from
Siberia
 . Either together or successively he held the offices of inspector of mines, professor at the School of Mines and at the
Polytechnic
  School, assayer of gold and silver articles, professor of
chemistry
  in the College de France and at the Jardin des Plantes, member of the Council of Industry and ,Commerce,
commissioner
  on the pharmacy
laws
 , and finally professor of chemistry to the Medical Faculty, to which he succeeded on
Fourcroy
 's death in 1809. His lectures, which were supplemented with
practical
  laboratory teaching, were attended by many chemists who subsequently attained distinction. He died at his birthplace on the 14th of November 1829.
