on the fat in cows’ milk, the nutritive value of Swedish plants employed as fodder,
the cultivation of sugar beets, fertilizers, etc. E. Berglund (1846 87) carried out
valuable researches with regard to amido and imido-sulphonic acid, as well as
works on analysis. J. A. Bladin (1856/1902) has made important synthetical
works in the domain of organic chemistry (triazol- and tetrazol-bodies).
Among Swedish scientists now living who, by reason of their activity or
position, may be regarded as the chief representatives of chemical research in
their own country, the following may be enumerated, according to their respective
ages: II. v. Post (born 1822; agricultural chemistry); P. T. Cleve (born 1840:
inorganic and organic chemistry); J. 0. Rosenberg (born 1840; general chemistry);
O. Hammarsten (born 1841; physiological chemistry); Å. G. Ekstrand (born
1846; organic and technical chemistry); S. O. Pettersson (born 1848; physical
chemistry and the analysis of gases); P. Klason (born 1848; organic chemistry,
chemical technology); 0. Widman (born 1852; organic chemistry, chemical
nomenclature); K. A. II. Mörner (born 1854; physiological chemistry); J. M. Lovin
(born 1856; chemistry and mineralog)’); S. Arrhenius (born 1859; physical
chemistry, the founder of the theory of electrolytic dissociation, see p. 477):
H. G. Söderhamn (born 1862; organic and agricultural chemistry); all being
professors or officials at the Universities or other public institutions.
Mathematics.
Though occupying quite at an early date a prominent position within several
branches of the natural sciences, it was not until lately that Sweden asserted its
rank in the domain of pure mathematics. Klingenstierna (1698,1765), an
