Abstract
DURING the present week the centenary of the birth of Modern Chemistry, as the discovery of oxygen on August 1, 1774, may justly be called, is being celebrated both in this country at Birmingham and Leeds, and in America at Northumberland, Pennsylvania; we have therefore thought it would be acceptable to our readers to be reminded of the principal events in the life of the author of this all-important discovery.
