Campbell Morfit (19 November 1820 - 8 December 1897) was a distinguished chemist from the United States, co-editor with James Curtis Booth of the Encyclopedia of Chemistry (1850). He was the first teacher at the chemical department of the Maryland Institute, and from 1854 to 1858 was professor of applied chemistry there. He then moved to New York City, where he continued to practice chemistry until emigrating to London in 1861.

Jean-Sébastien-Eugène Julia de Fontenelle (18 octobre 1780, Narbonne - 8 février 1842) Pharmacien, chimiste et vulgarisateur scientifique français. Il a participé à de nombreux ouvrages des encyclopédies Roret. Il est l'un des fondateurs du Journal de Pharmacie et de la Société des Sciences physiques.

François Malepeyre (1794-1877). Rédacteur de plusieurs encyclopédies pratiques, en particulier les encyclopédies Roret, et éditeur.

"Les Manuels Roret ont été publiés de 1822 à 1939. Riche de près de 400 titres, cette collection éditoriale constitue une encyclopédie des savoir-faire et des techniques professionnelles d’une grande variété. Ouvrages pratiques de vulgarisation, de qualité, bon marché, d’un format de poche, de bonne impression et de lecture facile, illustrés de planches dépliantes ou parfois d’un atlas, les manuels rencontrèrent très vite un vif succès et les rééditions, réimpressions et traductions furent nombreuses, jusqu’à nos jours."
