Auguste Laurent (14 November 1807 – 15 April 1853) was a French chemist who helped in the founding of organic chemistry with his discoveries of anthracene, phthalic acid, and carbolic acid.
I was an impostor, the worthy associate of a brigand, &c. , &c. , and all this for an atom of chlorine put in the place of an atom of hydrogen, for the simple correction of a chemical formula!
But experiments went for nothing,-dualism had sworn to uphold its position.
From this time everything was copulated. Acetic, formic, butyric, margaric, &c. , acids, alkaloids, ethers, amides, anilides, all became copulated bodies. So that to make acetanilide, for example, they no longer employed acetic acid and aniline, but they re-copulated a copulated oxalic acid with a copulated ammonia. I am inventing nothing-altering nothing. Is it my fault if, when writing history, I appear to be composing a romance?
