Antoine Lavoisier publishes Traité élémentaire de chimi (Elements of Chemistry), the first modern chemistry textbook. It is a complete survey of (at that time) modern chemistry, including the first concise definition of the law of conservation of mass, and thus also represents the founding of the discipline of stoichiometry or quantitative chemical analysis.
