Abstract
THE exhibition recently opened at Gothenburg to celebrate the tercentenary of the founding of that city by Gustavus Adolphus, with its display of Swedish manufactures, is an eloquent reminder of the part taken by Sweden in the development of certain industries and also of the debt of the world to Swedish men of science. Though she cannot lay claim to mathematicians of the rank of Leibnitz, Newton, or Euler, or to astronomers equal to Galileo or Herschel, in chemistry and mineralogy Sweden has often led the way, and few countries can boast of names more widely known than those of Bergmann, Scheele, Gadolin, Berzelius, Nilson, Cleve, and Arrhenius.
