understand or appreciate the present position of science un1ess he
knows something of the slow and tortuous steps through which it

enhanced by an understanding of the thinking of the chemists who
built the theories which we use today. It has been tru1y said, "He
who knows on1y his own generation remains a1ways a chi1d. " The
appearance of a book which details the birth of a great development
in chemistry is therefore a significant event, and one which we
welcome warmly. The events which are chronieled here are now far
