Jean-Antoine Chaptal, comte de Chanteloup (5 June 1756 – 30 July 1832) was a distinguished French chemist, physician, agronomist, industrialist, statesman, educator and philanthropist.
 His multifaceted career unfolded during one of the most brilliant periods in French science.
 In chemistry it was the time of Antoine Lavoisier, Claude-Louis Berthollet, Louis Guyton de Morveau, Antoine-François Fourcroy and Joseph Gay-Lussac.
 Chaptal made his way into this elite company in Paris beginning in the 1780s, and established his credentials as a serious scientist most definitely with the publication of his first major scientific treatise, the "Ėléments de chimie" (3 vols, Montpellier, 1790).
 His treatise brought the term "nitrogen" into the revolutionary new chemical nomenclature developed by Lavoisier.
 By 1795, at the newly established "École Polytechnique" in Paris, Chaptal shared the teaching of courses in pure and applied chemistry with Claude-Louis Berthollet, the doyen of the science.
 In 1798, Chaptal was elected a member of the prestigious Chemistry Section of the "Institut de France".
 He became president of the section in 1802 soon after Napoleon appointed him Minister of Interior (6 November 1800).
 Chaptal was a key figure in the early industrialization in France under Napoleon and during the Bourbon Restoration.
 He was a founder and first president in 1801 of the important Society for the Encouragement of National Industry and a key organizer of industrial expositions held in Paris in 1801 and subsequent years.
 He compiled a valuable study, "De l'industrie française" (1819), surveying the condition and needs of French industry in the early 1800s.
 Chaptal was especially strong in applied science.
 Beginning in the early 1780s, he published a continuous stream of practical essays on such things as acids and salts, alum, sulfur, pottery and cheese making, sugar beets, fertilizers, bleaching, degreasing, painting and dyeing.
 As a chemicals industrialist, he was a major producer of hydrochloric, nitric and sulfuric acids, and was much sought after as a technical consultant for the manufacture of gunpowder.
 His reputation as a master of applied science, dedicated to using the discoveries of chemistry for the benefit of industry and agriculture, was furthered with the publication of his "L'Art de faire, de gouverner et de perfectionner les vins" (1801) and "La Chimie appliquée aux arts" (1806), works that drew on the theoretical chemistry of Lavoisier to revolutionize the art of wine-making in France.
 His new procedure of adding sugar to increase the final alcohol content of wines came to be called "chaptalization."
 In 1802, Chaptal purchased the Château de Chanteloup and its extensive grounds in Touraine, near Amboise.
 He raised merino sheep and experimented there in his later years on a model farm for the cultivation of sugar beets.
 He wrote his classic study of the application of scientific principles to the cultivation of land, the "Chimie appliquée à l'agriculture" (1823), and composed his important political memoir, "Mes souvenirs sur Napoléon"(1893).
 Napoleon named Chaptal Count of the Empire (1808) and Count of Chanteloup (1810).
 In 1819 he was named by Louis XVIII to the Restoration's Chamber of Peers.
Petrus Peregrinus de Maricourt (Latin), Pierre Pelerin de Maricourt (French), or Peter Peregrinus of Maricourt (fl.
 1269), was a 13th-century French scholar who conducted experiments on magnetism and wrote the first extant treatise describing the properties of magnets. His work is particularly noted for containing the earliest detailed discussion of freely pivoting compass needles, a fundamental component of the dry compass soon to appear in medieval navigation.
 He also wrote a treatise on the construction and use of a universal astrolabe.
It is not certain whether the Antiphon who wrote the treatise was the same figure as the Antiphon who wrote the Sophistic works of Antiphon, who is sometimes identified with Antiphon the Orator.
 The recent scholarly edition of Pendrick, however, sees it as probable that this treatise was written by the same author as the Sophistic works, as does the edition of Laks and Most.
 Some earlier scholars, though, including E.R. Dodds, take the view that Antiphon the dream-interpreter was a separate person.
Grand traité d’instrumentation et d’orchestration modernes, abbreviated in English as the Treatise on Instrumentation (sometimes Treatise on Orchestration) is a technical study of Western musical instruments, written by Hector Berlioz.
 It was first published in 1844 after being serialised in many parts prior to this date, and had a chapter added by Berlioz on conducting in 1855.
 In 1904 Richard Strauss was asked to update the text to include some modern instruments and included musical examples from Wagner, and in 1905 the updated "Treatise" with a new preface by Strauss was published in German.
 The 1905 edition was translated into English in 1948.
 The book discusses the various technical aspects of instruments, such as chromatic range, tone quality, and limitations.
 An explanation of the role of particular instruments within the orchestra is also provided.
 The book also provides orchestral excerpts from classical scores to give examples of techniques discussed.
 These examples are sometimes of works by Berlioz himself, while Mozart, Wagner, Beethoven, and Gluck are also frequently cited.
Louis-Hector Berlioz (] (English: ); 11 December 1803 – 8 March 1869) was a French Romantic composer, best known for his compositions "Symphonie fantastique" and "Grande messe des morts" (Requiem).
 Berlioz made significant contributions to the modern orchestra with his "Treatise on Instrumentation".
 He specified huge orchestral forces for some of his works, and conducted several concerts with more than 1,000 musicians.
 He also composed around 50 songs.
 His influence was critical for the further development of Romanticism, especially in composers like Richard Wagner, Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov, Franz Liszt, Richard Strauss, and Gustav Mahler.
Treatise on the Gods (1930) is H. L. Mencken's survey of the history and philosophy of religion, and was intended as an unofficial companion volume to his Treatise on Right and Wrong (1934).
 The first and second printings were sold out before publication, and eight more printings followed.
 Its first edition received a major 5-column review in the "New York Times", written by one P.W. Wilson; and the Marxist literary critic Granville Hicks called it "the best popular account we have of the origin and nature of religion."
 However, the Protestant theologian Reinhold Niebuhr, writing in the "Atlantic Monthly", claimed that "It is only in dealing with moral and social issues that [Mencken] achieves the heights of complete detachment, and in this case the detachment is that of a cynic rather than that of a scientist."
 By the end of its first year "Treatise" had sold thirteen thousand copies.
 By 1940 its popularity had waned, and although it went temporarily out of print in 1945, Mencken considered it "my best book, and by far."
 At the request of its original publisher Alfred A Knopf, Mencken wrote a revised edition (1946), eliminating (among other changes) a controversial quote about Jews:
Gyatsho Tshering, (1936 in Sikkim – June 25, 2009 in Minneapolis) also wrote Gyatso Tsering, is the former director of the Library of Tibetan Works and Archives and a Tibetan scholar of Indian nationality of Indian nationality
Shin Sandalinka ((Burmese: ရှင်စန္ဒလင်္ကာ , ] ) was an 18th century Burmese Buddhist monk, who wrote the influential court treatise "Mani Yadanabon" in 1781.
 He held a high religious title, Zinalinkara Maha Dhammayazaguru (ဇိနလင်္ကာရ မဟာ ဓမ္မရာဇဂုရု, Pali: Jinalankāra Mahā Dhammarājaguru), bestowed by King Singu.
 He compiled the "Mani Yadanabon" from various sources, chiefly the late 14th to 15th century "Zabu Kun-Cha" treatise.
 His treatise was one of the four books to be machine-published by the Konbaung government in 1871.
Abu Abdallah Muhammad b. Ahmad b. Muhammad Ibn Ghazi al-'Utmani al-Miknasi (1437–1513) was a Moroccan scholar in the field of history, Islamic law, Arabic philology and mathematics.
 He was born in Meknes from banu uthman, a clan in the Berber kutama tribe, but spent his life in Fez.
 Ibn Ghazi wrote a three-volume history of Meknes and a commentary to the treatise of Ibn al-Banna, "Munyat al-hussab".
 For an explanation of his work, Ibn Ghazi wrote another treatise (about 300 pages long) titled "Bughyat al-tulab fi sharh munyat al-hussab" ("The desire of students for an explanation of the calculator's craving").
 He included sections on arithmetic and algebraic methods.
Antidosis (Ancient Greek ἀντίδοσις ), is the title of a speech treatise by the ancient Greek rhetorician, Isocrates.
 The "Antidosis" can be viewed as a defense, an autobiography, or rhetorical treatise.
 However, since Isocrates wrote it when he was 82 years old, it is generally seen by some people as an autobiography.
 The title literally translates as “an exchange,” and was applied in ancient Greek courts as a peculiar law pertaining to an exchange of estates between two parties.
 If one of the 1200 wealthiest Athenians eligible was tasked with the performance of a public liturgy and financing one of the many public concerns of Athens, then he could avoid the duty by nominating a richer man who was more qualified than himself to perform it.
 If the supposedly richer man disagreed with the terms, then the entirety of their estates would be exchanged and the now more wealthy man would have to perform the liturgy, as originally planned.
 The law inspired Isocrates' "Antidosis", which was written in the form of a court case where Isocrates had to defend himself from a charge of corrupting the youth by teaching them how to speak well in order for them to gain an unfair advantage over their peers.
 Although this work is put forward by Isocrates as his imagined defense in a legal case, it is more a treatise on morality and teaching.
