Cosmical Chemistry

Abstract

MANY will read with interest and admiration Prof. H. N. Russell's fascinating and masterly address published as a supplement to NATURE of February 9; it is all that an address should be on such an occasion. Having watched the story of ultramundane chemistry unfold from all but its Bunsen and Kirchoff-Stokes beginning, especially during the turbulent Lockyer period, I perhaps can appreciate both its beauty and the greatness of our advance in knowledge more than most, so may be allowed to tender to Prof. Russell the thanks that so many, I am sure, will wish to express.
