Out of Alchemy

Lavoisier first started working with chemistry at the College Mazarin. There, he would work with Lacaille, an astronomer and mathematician. After his studies at the College Mazarin, he went to take courses at Jardin du Roi from another famous chemist. Lavoisier did not like studying under the supervision of his professor because it was a science that was, at the time, founded on only a few facts. Lavoisier knew that because of this reason he sold have to start the study of chemistry from ground zero again. At the time, alchemists devoted most if their time to decoding and encoding information. This would be a big discovery if anyone knew how to explain it clearly.
