The French pharmacist Louis Proust, one of the fathers of modern chemistry, was professor of chemistry at the Royal Seminary of Vergara. This institution, created under the protection of the Real Sociedad Bascongada de los Amigos del País, recruited some of the best minds of the time: François Duboix, Geronimo Mas, Pierre François Chabaneau, Louis Joseph Proust, Fausto de Elhuyar and Anders Nikolaus Thunborg. In this document, the chemistry professor writes to the Director of the institution, the 10th Count of Peñaflorida, about various economic matters.
