Benjamin Silliman Jr.'s 1874 papers: American contributions to chemistry.

چکیده
To mark the centennial of the discovery of oxygen by Joseph Priestley (1733-1804) on August 1, 1774, H. Carrington Bolton of the Columbia College School of Mines suggested a gathering of American chemists be held to celebrate this event. A suggestion was made by Rachel Bodley of the Women’s Medical College of Pennsylvania that an appropriate place would be Northumberland, Pennsylvania, where Priestley had settled in 1794 after being hounded out of England for his radical views. Organizing the event was a group of New York chemists. About 70 chemists attended for the daylong event, which featured a series of four papers and visits to the Priestley house and grave site (1).
