Theory versus Practice in German Chemistry
This essay examines the early career of the chemist Emil Erlenmeyer (1825–1909), focusing on his various endeavors in industrial consulting and entrepreneurship, and his eventual decisive turn, in 1862, to academic research and teaching. This case study offers insights into the developing relationship between theory-based academic research and artisanal and industrial practice in the German states during the 1850s and 1860s. Attention is paid to …
Englishing Kopp
This essay describes the complexities, challenges, and pleasures of translating from German into English a charming fantasy about the world of molecules, published in 1882 by the chemist and historian Hermann Kopp (1817–1892
Ideas in Chemistry
A brief analysis of the evolution of chemical theory in nineteenth-century Europe provides instantiation for the continuing vitality of an intellectual-historical approach to the history of modern science. The story told here also illustrates the pragmatic and pluralistic attitudes displayed by many of the most successful chemists of that period and offers possible parallel lessons for historians

In Search of El Dorado
Alan J. Rocke In Search of El Dorado: John Dalton and the Origins of the Atomic Theory THE HISTORIAN OF THE CHEMICAL ATOMIC THEORY EXPERIENCES AN embarrassment of riches—or just embarrassment—when he turns to the origin of the tale. He has a hero—the English Quaker and self-made natural philosopherJohn Dalton—as well as a birth date for the theory: Dalton’s September 6,1803, entry in his laboratory notebook. Beyond these apparently secure fixed p…

Kekulé, Butlerov, and the Historiography of the Theory of Chemical Structure
In 1858, August Kekulé and Archibald Scott Couper independently published similar ideas regarding the tetravalence and self-linking ability of carbon atoms; three years later, the Russian chemist Aleksandr Mikhailovich Butlerov read a paper at the German Naturforscherversammlung in Speyer, which restated, clarified, and enlarged upon the ideas of Kekulé and Couper. In 1958, the centenary of the structure theory was celebrated in Chicago, London, …
