This is the first scientific biography of Edward Frankland, probably the most eminent chemist of nineteenth-century Britain. Frankland discovered the chemical bond and founded the science of organometallic chemistry. Russell's authoritative study of newly discovered private papers will be of great interest to chemists, historians, and general readers concerned with social history.
