‎---- BEL EXEMPLAIRE ---- Troisième édition française traduite sur l'édition originale suédoise par F. FRESNEL ---- "The scientific apparatus and reagents available in Sweden when BERZELIUS began his work were very inadequate. In consequence, he had to design and build almost everything he needed and to synthesize most of his own reagents. The new forms of apparatus that he built were described in the various editions of his textbook (De l'emploi du chalumeau) and became standard pieces of equipment in laboratories all over the world. He was especially skillful in the use of the blowpipe, which had been developed in the Scandinavian countries. He utilized it in many of his analytical procedures and the book that he wrote concerning it popularized its use abroad...".
