Abstract
THE lecture by Sir John Anderson published in Nature of December 22, p. 733, does but scant justice to British chemical industry prior to the First World War. The statement that “the only industrial openings one heard of were occasional vacancies in breweries” is not in accordance with the facts, and takes no cognizance of the existence of a great inorganic chemical industry represented by such firms as Brünner, Mond and Co. and the United Alkali Co., and numerous manufacturers of acids and phosphatic fertilizers and a considerable organic industry represented by the works of Read Holliday, Leven-stein, British Alizarine, Clauss and Co., and many others, not to speak of the explosives manufacturers of Nobels in Scotland and Kynochs in Ireland.
