Chemical Research in Great Britain

Abstract

AT the anniversary meeting of the Chemical Society held March 31, 1884, the President read an address to the Fellows, which contains a series of remarks upon the prosecution of original research in England requiring some notice, particularly as a separate issue of the address has been circulated by the author. Attention is directed to the fact that we have an increased number of laboratories in Great Britain1 A and greater facilities for the prosecution of research through the aid of the Government grant and the Chemical Society's fund. Notwithstanding this the startling and anomalous fact is to be observed that the number of papers read before the Society is declining year by year.
