Really disjointed and jarringly edited in some places. Went from “this happened, then this happened, then this happened” type of history, and would then make a sudden jump to another event without any real transition. Don't know if this was the writer or the editor, but it doesn't really matter. I need to look elsewhere for a biography of Lavoisier.
(Also, one of my pet peeves: there were sections/poems in the original French, with no translation into English.)
