In 1790 Robert Kerr translated the treatise into English as Elements of Chemistry in a New Systematic Order, published in Edinburgh by William Creech.
The treatise was translated into English by Robert Kerr in 1790 under the title Elements of Chemistry in New Systematic Order, Containing All Modern Discoveries, Illustrated with 13 Copperplates. This first edition was published in Edinburgh by William Creech. The legacy row's claim that the work itself was published in 1789 in Paris is corrected here: 1789 is the French publication year, while 1790 dates the English translation, and no passage confirms Paris.
