325 Words2 Pages

Hannah Johansen 9/28/15 CP Chemistry Antoine Lavoisier Born on August 26th 1743, Antoine Lavoisier [la-vwa-zyey] was born into a wealthy family. He lost his mother at the tender age of five and inherited a fortune large enough to sustain him through all of his childhood and into early adulthood.

However his scientific ingenuity was not peaked until his last two years, in which he became enraptured with chemistry, botany, and mathematics. Lavoisier went on to receive a bachelor’s degree in law at the age of twenty under the influence of his father, who believed science would only be a hobby for Antoine, yet

  • The Destruction Of Louvain By Professor Leon Van Der Essen

    1075 Words  | 5 Pages

    “The Destruction of Louvain,” by Professor Leon van der Essen, is an eight page Belgian judicial report, published in 1923, but most likely written in late 1914 following the sack of Louvain, Belgium by German forces. The report chronicles the events starting from the initial German entry into Louvain on August 19, 1914 to the conclusion of the incident on August 25, 1914. Essen attempts to approach his report from a subjective point of view, including quotations from Louvain civilians, German troops, and the German Commander, Major von Bassewitz. The purpose of the report was to ascertain whether the German forces acted under self-defense or if the town was destroyed out of unprovoked malice. Ultimately, Essen begrudgingly comes to the conclusion
