(1773-01-16): Letter of de Lépinais to Lavoisier (with attached memoir concerning lotions for treatement of bites by mad animals)
(1773-01-21): Letter of Trudaine to Lavoisier: "Mr Magellan, Monsieur, nous offre le service anglois de dessaler l'eau de mer"
(1773-02-13): Letter of Hatton La Ganière to Lavoisier on depth of total rainfall for the previous year at Fresnay le Vicomte
(1773-02-20): The famous memorandum misdated February, 20, 1772. Program of a revolution in physics and chemistry.
(1773-02-22) (1773-02-23): Calcination of lead and tin in retorts
(1773-02-26): Volatility of alkalis under vacuum. "Donc les alkalis volatils s'évaporent dans le vuide."
(1773-02-26): Comparison between the fixation of air by lead and by alkalis. The minium (red lead) "est suivant moi une combinaison d'air et de plomb." Uncertainty on the nature of this air: "Je crois qu'on doit en conclure que l'air combiné avec le plom
(1773-03) (1773-05): Articles by Black and Priestley published in the Observations sur la Physique
(1773-03): Reduction of mercury precipitate per se (red oxide of mercury); obtains oxygen but unaware of what he has. Notes that it supports combustion. Experiments on nitrous air.
(1773-03-01): Study of fixed air, proposals for apparatus to determine physical properties of CO2 and for combining it with different liquids
(1773-03-14): Experimentation on action of burning glass on iron, various earths, borax. (Isolated experiments on one day, not resumed until July).
(1773-03-15): Lavoisier drafts a note on the nature of air
(1773-03-28): Lavoisier records impatience over various delays (slow pace of the workers constructing the apparatus, a two weeks ilness, etc.) which had held up his work on calcination. "Cependant, comme je voudrais annoncer quelque chose à la rentrée et
(1773-03-29): Calcination of zinc, of tin, reduction of minium by charocoal
(1773-03-30): Calcination of lead with burning glass under a "cloche à eau". "J'ai vu avec surprise que le plomb ne se calcinat pas davantage. J'ai commencé dès lor à supçonner que le contact d'un air circulant est nécessaire à la formation de la chaux m
(1773-04): Bucquet's paper on fixed air is read abore the Académie
(1773-04-06): Reaction of fixed alkali on metallic oxides (chaux); precipitation of mercury from a nitrate (nitrique) solution by sodium carbonate (soude). "Je me suis fait bien des fois une objection bien forte contre mon système de la réduction métalli
(1773-04-15): Memoir on the nature of air. Notion that air is a fluid in the state of expansion
(1773-04-21): At the Académie "M. Lavoisier a lu l'écrit suivant". It does not follow in fact. This may be the memoir published by Fric from un undated manuscript: "Sur une nouvelle théorie de la calcination des métaux."
(1773-04-21): Makes experiments on the combustion of phosphorus
(1773-04-30): At the Académie "M. Lavoisier a commencé la lecture d'un mémoire qui contient l'histoire de ce qui s'est fait jusqu'ici sur l'air fixe." First par of the Opuscules. Reading continued the 19 May, and 22 May. Repreated the 26 and 28 May. P-V,

(1773-05-04): Lavoisier attempts to heat charcoal and vitriolic acid with burning glass. Also phosphorous under a layer of alcohol
