8vo. xii, 373 pp. 12 illus., index. Brown cloth, dust-jacket; jacket rubbed. ISBN: 0718510860 "Russell's four-part book is well-planned and arranged-a veritable model of organization. Although not biographical in approach, much biographical data are provided wherever pertinent. The concept of valency did not spring like Pallas Athena fully armed from Zeus' forehead but gradually "underwent successive modifications and refinements as it became incorporated within the changing fabric of nineteenth-century chemical theory." The volume aptly illustrates the evolutionary nature of the theory and emphasizes the close interrelationship of the various events and discoveries involved." - ISIS vol. 63, no. 4, Dec., 1972, pp. 563-66.

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. 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.
