Abstract

Charles-Louis Cadet Gassicourt (1769-1821), initially a lawyer, poet, writer, and politician, changed his course
to make a brilliant career in pharmacy becoming the personal pharmacist of Napoleon. He published a chemical dictionary
that replaced the Macquer's obsolete one, and a pharmacy formulary that became a classic. He studied a large number
of medicinal plants, trees, and seeds and separated their active principles. Likewise the factors which affect soil fertility,
the quenching of quicklime, and the characteristics of tea and coffee.
