title: [The chemical entries of Charles Gerhardt in Dictionnaire universel des Sciences, des Lettres et des Arts by Marie-Nicolas Bouillet].
abstract: Charles Gerhardt (1816-1856) is known as the founder of modern organic chemistry. He wrote the chemical entries of the dictionary managed by Marie-Nicolas Bouillet (1798-1864), who was a philosopher. This great deal of work was done between 1849 and 1853. It accounts for didactic and militant purposes of Gerhardt. The whole entries set up a true treatise of chemistry, and reflect the synthetic mind of their author.
