Antoine Lavoisier wrote Elements of Chemistry, published in 1789, which is widely considered the first modern chemistry textbook.

Johann Döbereiner, Henry Moseley, and Dmitri Mendeleev are known for later contributions to organizing elements and understanding atomic structure, not for writing that textbook.
