Abstract
WE recently recorded the death, at Halle, on December 1, of Prof. W. Heintz, one of the leading German chemists of our day. He was born at Berlin, November 4, 1817. His earlier university studies were undertaken whih a view of becoming a pharmacist, but this intention owas relinquished as the attractions of a more purely scientific career were offered to him. In 1844 he received the: doctor's degree at the Berlin University, and two years later he was admitted as prisrat-docent in.the philosophical faculty of the same university. In 1850 he accepted a call to Halle as the successor of the well-known Marschand; and here, after, passing five years as an extraordinary professor, he was appointed int 1855 to the full professorship of chemistry, and the directorship of the newly-built laboratory, posts which he occupied at the time of his death.
