Abstract

The Chem. News and Journal of Phys. Science (With Which is Incorporated the Chem. Gazette). A Journal of Practical Chem. in All Its Applications to Pharmacy, Arts and Manufs., was first published on Saturday, 10 Dec. 1859, price 3d. What was distinctly new about the periodical was its weekly character and, as such, together with the weekly general organ Scientific Opinion (founded Nov. 1868, collapsed 1870), it paved the way for Norman Lockyer's Nature, which began in Nov. 1869, exactly ten years later. The last issue of Chem. News, the 1781st issue, appeared in Oct. 1932, thus completing almost 70 yr of continuous service to the chem. community.
