Abstract

Since the delivery of my presidential address (1) in July I have assembled an amount of supplementary information regarding “the Chemical Society instituted in the beginning of the Year 1785”. This, together with a brief description of some other chemical societies of the revolutionary period, forms the basis of the present paper.

First of all, it will be expedient to furnish a complete list of the dissertations read before the Society during 1785–86 and included in the first volume of its Proceedings, appending short comments with respect to the communicators or their topics when anything of special interest arises.
