Summary: "History of Chemistry, Volume 2 (of 2)" by T. E. Thorpe is a comprehensive scientific publication written in the early 20th century. The work delves into the significant developments in the field of chemistry from 1850 to 1910, highlighting key discoveries, influential chemists, and the evolution of theories within the discipline. It aims to provide an insightful overview of the progressive nature of chemistry and its impact on various aspects of human knowledge and technology. The opening of the book introduces the state of chemistry in the mid-19th century, following a prior volume that covered its historical development up to that point. It discusses how the field experienced a remarkable expansion in both understanding and application after 1850, thanks to figures such as Justus von Liebig, Friedrich Wöhler, and Jean-Baptiste Dumas. Their work laid foundational concepts in organic chemistry and initiated practical advancements, leading to significant developments in chemical theory and a deeper insight into atomic structures and molecular relationships. Additionally, the text sets the stage for exploring particular topics such as the discovery of new elements, the impact of radioactivity, and the ongoing refinement of atomic theories that followed this flourishing period in chemistry.
