Abstract
Our earliest resident chemists, those who arrived
here in the 1840s and 1850s, published 24
papers in that period (Collins 2010). But chemical
science really began to blossom in Australia in the
1860s; no fundamentally new chemistry was discovered,
but the field of interest broadened. Including
two stand-alone pamphlets, and five reports in the
newspaper The Empire, there were 69 publications of
a chemical nature by Australian workers in the arbitrarily
chosen ten-year period 1860a??1869. Some of
these papers are featured here.a?
