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