Modern chemistry, so alarming, so necessary, so ubiquitous, became
a mature science in nineteenth-century Europe. As it developed,
often from a lowly position in medicine or in industry, so chemists
established themselves as professional men; but differently in
different countries. In 1820 chemistry was an autonomous science of
great prestige but chemists had no corporate identity. It was 1840
before national chemical societies were first formed; and many
countries lagged fifty years behind. Chemists are the largest of
scientific groups; and in this 1998 book we observe the social
history of chemistry in fifteen countries, ranging from the British
Isles to Lithuania and Greece. There are regularities and
similarities; and by describing how national chemical professions
emerged under particular economic and social circumstances, the
book contributes significantly to European history of science.
