ResumoJOHAN GADOLIN, one of the most distinguished J of Finnish men of science, occupies a well-defined position in the history of chemistry. He was a pupil of Bergman, a friend of Scheele, and the forerunner of Berzelius. He served as a connecting link, as it were, in the new departure of the science as initiated by the workers at Upsala, and as so splendidly furthered by the secretary of the Stockholm Academy. Gadolin's scientific activity was, in fact, concentrated within the two decades which elapsed between the death of Scheele and the coming of Berzelius, and his labours worthily upheld the traditions of the Scandinavian school.
