Abstract
AS Lord Kelvin stated nearly twelve years ago, in an address at the opening of the Physical and Chemical Laboratories at the University College of North Wales, the establishment of scientific laboratories at universities and colleges for the experimental training of students is a comparatively recent idea. Private laboratories, no doubt, existed at a very early period. The old alchemists had places, sometimes secret retreats, meanly appointed, like the den of Wayland Smith, sometimes, when the purse and protection of a powerful patron were at their command, more luxurious quarters, in which they carried on their search for the elixir of life, and the key to the transmutation of metals.
