Both Berthollet and Kirwan were famous chemists, one in French and the other in England, in Late 18th Century and Early 19th Century. Both of them had been phlogistians and later abandoned their phlogiston theories. There were similarities between Berthollet's phlogiston theory and Lavoisier's theory of heat matter in fact, so Berthollet accepted oxygen easier. In comparison to Bert hollet's p hlogiston theory, Kirwan's was formed under the England tradition of pneumatic chemistry and differed characteristically from Lavoisier's theory, thus Kirwan resisted Lavoisier's theory within a longer time. The differences lay between French and England chemistry tradition were important causes which makes the different attitudes between Berthollet and Kirwan to the oxygen theory.
