Descriptive Name Index Fritz Scholz Wilhelm Ostwald mentioned numerous individuals in his autobiography, ranging from the famous, like Newton and Beethoven, to the less well known people whom he met in his life. Since we did not wish to make an arbitrary selection, all men- tioned persons for whom we could retrieve some relevant information are listed in this index (630 persons). This autobiography should be understandable to people who have no scientific background, especially not in chemistry. It should also be understandable to people who do not have a cultural background in Europe or the US and who might not know the respective politicians and artists from these areas. Where ever possible, the places and dates of birth and death are given, because they allow one to relate the person to Ostwald’s life. In the case of persons who are well known world wide (like emperors, and famous artists), no further details are given, because that information is readily available from many sources, especially the Internet. In case of less well known people, more details, often collected from rather remote sources, are given. Because of this the entries about famous people are much shorter than the entries of about the less well known. This was deliberately done to make this book a productive source for the historian and interested layman. When people with more than one christian name are commonly known and cited under a second christian name, that has been underlined.

This is mentioned by Ehrhardt, in "Reminiscences of Dr. Caro," on 561, who is probably referring to a letter from Raphael Meldola published in the London Times on 20 January 1915. Though in 1904 Meldola drew a connection between Caro's departure from England and the decline of the British dye industry, Caro is not mentioned in Meldola's letter to the Times.

    Ernst Abbe 1840-1905: a Social Reformer

    We all do not belong to ourselves Ernst Abbe 1840-1905: a Social Reformer Fritz Schulze, Canada Linda Nguyen, The Canadian Press, Wednesday, January 2014: TORONTO – By the time you finish your lunch on Thursday, Canada’s top paid CEO will have already earned (my italics!) the equivalent of your annual salary.* It is not unusual these days to read such or similar headlines. Each time I am reminded of the co-founder of the company I worked for all my active life. Those who know me, know that I worked for the world-renowned German optical company Carl Zeiss. I also have a fine collection of optical instruments, predominantly microscopes, among them quite a few Zeiss instruments. Carl Zeiss founded his business as a “mechanical atelier” in Jena in 1846 and his mathematical consultant, Ernst Abbe, a poorly paid lecturer at the University Jena, became his partner in 1866. That was the beginning of a comet-like rise of the young company. Ernst Abbe was born in Eisenach, Thuringia, on January 23, 1840, as the first child of a spinnmaster of a local textile mill.Till the beginning of the 50s each and every day the Lord made my father stood at his machines, 14, 15, 16 hours, from 5 o’clock in the morning till 7 o’clock in the evening during quiet periods, 16 hours from 4 o’clock in the morning till 8 o’clock in the evening during busy times, without any interruption, not even a lunch break. I myself as a small boy of 5 – 9 years brought him his lunch, alternately with my younger sister, and watched him as he gulped it down leaning on his machine or sitting on a wooden box, then handing me back the empty pail and immediately again tending his machines." Ernst Abbe remembered later.

It lists former Fellows from the foundation of the Society in 1783 to October 2002. Most are deceased Fellows up to and including the list given in the RSE Directory 2003 (Session 2002-3) but some former Fellows who left the Society by resignation or were removed from the roll are still living. HISTORY OF THE PROJECT Information on the Fellowship has been kept by the Society in many ways – unpublished sources include Council and Committee Minutes, Card Indices, and correspondence; published sources such as Transactions, Proceedings, Year Books, Billets, Candidates Lists, etc. All have been examined by the compilers, who have found the Minutes, particularly Committee Minutes, to be of variable quality, and it is to be regretted that the Society’s holdings of published billets and candidates lists are incomplete. The late Professor Neil Campbell prepared from these sources a loose-leaf list of some 1500 Ordinary Fellows elected during the Society’s first hundred years. He listed name and forenames, title where applicable and national honours, profession or discipline, position held, some information on membership of the other societies, dates of birth, election to the Society and death or resignation from the Society and reference to a printed biography.

  • The Legacy of Henri Victor Regnault in the Arts and Sciences

    The Legacy of Henri Victor Regnault in the Arts and Sciences

    International Journal of Arts & Sciences, CD-ROM. ISSN: 1944-6934 :: 4(13):377–400 (2011) Copyright c 2011 by InternationalJournal.org THE LEGACY OF HENRI VICTOR REGNAULT IN THE ARTS AND SCIENCES Sébastien Poncet Laboratoire M2P2, France Laurie Dahlberg Bard College Annandale, USA The 21 st of July 2010 marked the bicentennial of the birth of Henri Victor Regnault, a famous French chemist and physicist and a pioneer of paper photography. During his lifetime, he received many honours and distinctions for his invaluable scientific contributions, especially to experimental thermodynamics. Colleague of the celebrated chemist Louis-Joseph Gay- Lussac (1778-1850) at the École des Mines and mentor of William Thomson (1824-1907) at the École Polytechnique, he is nowadays conspicuously absent from all the textbooks and reviews (Hertz, 2004) dealing with thermodynamics. This paper is thus the opportunity to recall his major contributions to the field of experimental thermodynamics but also to the nascent field, in those days, of organic chemistry. Avid amateur of photography, he devoted more than twenty years of his life to his second passion. Having initially taken up photography in the 1840s as a potential tool for scientific research, he ultimately made many more photographs for artistic and self-expressive purposes than scientific ones. He was a founding member of the Société Héliographique in 1851 and of the Société Française de Photographie in 1854. Like his scientific work, his photography was quickly forgotten upon his death, but has begun to attract new respect and recognition. Keywords: Henri Victor Regnault, Organic chemistry, Thermodynamics, Paper photography. INTRODUCTION Henri Victor Regnault (1810–1878) (see Figures 1a & 1b) was undoubtedly one of the great figures of thermodynamics of all time.

Another co-author was Alexander Georg main author of the most important research in organic Bayer (1849-1928) of Bielitz in former Austrian Silesia, chemistry carried out in Portugal during the 19th century. who arrived in Lisbon four years after Lautemann, and Despite not attending any research school in Germany, has until recently evaded almost completely the attention France or Great Britain, Aguiar’s most important research of chemistry historians, in spite of his interesting profes- papers, on work carried out at the Chemical Laboratory sional career, patronized by his elder and more famous of the Lisbon Polytechnic School, were published in brother, Karl Joseph Bayer (1847-1904). The Lisbon Berichte der deutschen chemischen Gesellschaft between Polytechnic School employed Lautemann in 1864-65 and 1870 and 1874. Alexander Bayer from 1868 to 1872 as demonstrators in chemistry (preparadores), but between 1864 and 1876, How then did he acquire the knowledge, the in- three other chemists trained in Germany also worked spiration, and the experimental skills necessary for his as demonstrators at the Lisbon Polytechnic. Bayer and the other three chemists had in common that they were Vicente Lourenço (1822-1893), an élève of Adolphe recruited from the teaching laboratory of Carl Remigius Fresenius (1818-1897) in Wiesbaden.
