The Elements of Dying was "a systematic study and scientific discussion of the nature of dyeing." Berthollet used "dephlogisticated marine acid", i.e. chroline gas for his agent. Berthollet's son Amedee continued his father's work and launched a business in the chemical industry and contributed to this book. "Berthollet was an early champion in France of the value of chemical theory in the enhancement of industrial processes." Encyclopedia Britannica. Claude Louis Berthollet was an important French chemist. He is best known for his work on reverse chemical reactions, chlorine bleaching, gunpowder, and chemical nomenclature. His fame was not limited to France and he was a member of the Royal Society of London, the Swedish Academy, Royal Institute of the Netherlands, Royal Society of Edinburgh and Ameican Academy of Arts and Sciences.
