Napoleon, who had no love for profiteers, tried to reduce his fortune through taxes and fines but failed. Séguin survived the Empire and the Restoration and lived thereafter the life of an eccentric, Balzacian rentier, devoting most of his intellectual energies after 1815 to the composition of pamphlets on government finance. He is best known for his memoirs on heat and respiration and as Lavoisier's assistant from 1789 to the latter's death in 1794. - Second work with a printed dedication leaf, the fifth work with a handwritten and signed dedication, the work by Delon (number 13) has a somewhat larger size and has been folded to fit into the volume.
