Some Founders Of The Chemical Industry PDF Download

Excerpt from Some Founders of the Chemical Industry: Men to Be Remembered The Editor of the Chemical Trade Journal, Mr. George E. Davis, asked me, in 1889, to write a few articles for his journal on some of the notable and truly remarkable men who founded the Alkali Trade in Lancashire. The desire has been expressed that I would republish these articles in a more permanent form. After careful consideration, I have thought it expedient to make no alterations in the original articles, but to republish them just as they appeared, being mainly biographical sketches of men who have passed away, and a story of the industry with which they were connected. Since 1890 the alkali trade has been transformed, by the absorption of nearly all the leading private concerns into the great trust or combine, the United Alkali Company.
