Abstract
THE term 'chemical industries' in its wider significance comprises all those manufactures in which the formation of the products sold depends on chemical interactions and is certainly not confined to the manufacture of chemicals. All these industries, in reality based on chemicals, though still prone to pay lip service to the 'arts and practice' of their calling, are having to admit the scientific man into their management. It was Davy who wrote in 1802 that the arts of bleaching and dyeing, which the habits and fashions of society have made important, are purely chemical.
