This is the first scientific biography of Edward Frankland,
probably the most eminent chemist of nineteenth-century Britain.
Frankland discovered the chemical bond and founded the science of
organometallic chemistry. He was a leading reformer of chemistry
teaching, and the government's close adviser on urban water purity.
From an apprenticeship in a druggist's shop in Lancaster, he was to
occupy the first chemical chair at Manchester, and become professor
at what became Imperial College. He was knighted in 1897. Today an
obscurity of reputation stems from the conspiracy of silence
surrounding Frankland's origins as an illegitimate child. Recently,
however, Professor Russell has gained access to a vast collection
of his private papers. Russell's authoritative account discloses,
amongst much else, this web of conspiracy in the scientific
community, and will be of great interest to professional chemists,
historians of science, and general readers concerned with the
social fabric of Victorian England.
