In existographies, Armand Seguin (1767-1835) (CR:4) was a French chemist and physiologist, noted for []

Overview

In 1789 to 1794, Seguin was Antoine Lavoisier’s assistant from 1789 until 1794, during which time they conducted a number of experiments on the combustion theory of animal heat; Seguin often being the one the experiments were conducted on (one example pictured adjacent). [1]

In the late 1880s, Seguin expanded on Lavoisier's combustion theory to postulate that a chemical combination of hydrogen with carbon (hydrogene carbone) was released by the blood into the lungs. [2]

Quotes | On
The following are quotes on Seguin:

“It is worth noting that Rumford nowhere in his 1797 paper suggests that heat is the measure of the vis viva of the constituent atoms. This hypothesis had bee mentioned by Lavoisier and Laplace, and, more recently, by Armand Seguin in his long critical essay (1789).”
