La Décade philosophique, littéraire et politique.

Paris: no imprint, 1800.

First edition, nos 13–36 only covering the first nine months of 1800 of a journal published from 1794 to 1804.

¶ Smeaton has bookmarked ‘Extrait des lettres de quelques savans chimistes étrangers, aux citoyens Van Mons et Fourcroy’; and ‘Nouvelles intéressant la Littérature, les Sciences ou les Arts; Observations critiques; faits remarquables, etc.’ signed by Guyton, but there are many other contributions from the characters he was interested in. Many of the numbers begin with reports from the Institut National, giving the substance of lectures or, in no. 21, Cuvier’s ‘Notice des travaux de la Classe des Sciences Mathématiques et Physiques, pendant le deuxième trimestre de l’an VIII’.
