WITHOUT wishing to be captious, may I say that the statement by Prof. Meldrum at the Chemical Society on April 6 (NATUBE, April 15, page 555) that Priestley had confessed himself “not a


practical chemist”, seems to me to convey rather a wrong impression, because I fancy that by the term practical chemist, Priestley meant something a little different from what we nowadays


would mean by the expression.
