Abstract
THE cause of research in historical chemistry owes much to the work and influence of two men: Marcelin Berthelot in France, and Edmund O. von Lippmann in Germany. It is an interesting coincidence that the approaching celebration, in October next, of the centenary of Berthelot's birth should follow so closely upon a public recognition of von Lippmann's activities in the common field of these two eminent chemists and chemical historians. At the recent jubilee of the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Geschichte der Medizin und der Naturwissenschaften, von Lippmann was awarded the Sudhoff medal for his researches in historical chemistry; the volume under review has now been issued under the auspices of the same society to mark the seventieth birthday of one whom Ruska acclaims in an eloquent dedication as “Meister und Führer ”in this field.
