Two fundamental aspects characterize the history of the classical Chemistry. The first one concerns the intellectual contrast operated by Lavoisier during the dominant way of building a scientific theory that was typically belonged to Newton's theory. The second one according to the two crucial choices of Dalton: a problematic organization of the theory and mathematics by means of only use of potential infinite.
In the years' 70, Thackray, in Atoms studied the history of classical Chemistry fundaments, emphasizing both the two fundamental choices of Dalton and the contrast of Lavoisier respect of bases of Newton's theory.
It is known that Koyré has magisterially synthesized the birth of the modern science by means of two sentences. "Dissolution of the infinite cosmos and geometry of the space". In previous studies, these two sentences have been characterized as selected expressions of the two Newton choices; besides, they have opportunely been modified (Evanescence of the strength-cause and discretion of the subject) to synthetize the alternative choices respect of Newton ones (not only in 1600 century), but in all those scientific theories, i.e., Sadi Carnot's Thermodynamics, which is based upon the two Dalton's choices.
  In this article I intend to show that Thackray's book expresses, essentially, a history of Chemistry à la Koyrè (in generalized sense); that is, it is founded on two choices derivated by Koyré's choices.
