Abstract
WHEN Tswett, to whom the authors of this book refer as "genialer russischer Botaniker", first used the chromatographic absorption method for the separation of chlorophyll a from chlorophyll b, he was probably quite conscious of having introduced at least a novel application of physical phenomena that themselves may have been already known to many. He can, however, have had no conception of the extraordinary variety of compounds to the separation of which the method was to be applied in the following thirty years ; indeed the very existence of these compounds was in many instances unknown in Tswett's time.
