Abstract
DR. KAHLBAUM continues to put all chemists under an obligation to him by the successive issue of his valuable monographs on the history of chemistry. The volume before us is of special interest from the fact that the first part of it is a carefully edited translation of an autobiography of Berzelius. The statutes of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences require that each newly elected member shall deposit an account of his life and work at the time of his election, and that he shall add to it at stated periods so long as his membership continues. iThe autobiography before us is the result of that regulation.
