It is perhaps not surprising that German chemists continued to think of their country as the homeland of chemistry, an outlook fostered by Lorenz Crell. By 1789, the... 

In 1786 he undertook a grand tour of Denmark, Germany, Holland, England, and Ireland. In Germany he met Lorenz Crell (1744-1816), the editor of the journal Chemische Annalen. They became friends, and it was in Crell s journal that many of Gadolin s research papers were eventually published in an international forum. In Ireland Gadolin worked with the Irish... 

The first exclusively chemical periodical was started in 1778 and was edited by Lorenz von Crell. This was the Chemisches Journal fur die Freunde der Naturlehre. It survived until 1781. In 1784 it resumed publication under the name of Chemische Annalen fur die Freunde der Naturlehre. The Kresge-Hooker Library is one of the few libraries in the country holding original copies of this set.

In 1781 the journal was renamed Die neuesten Entdeckungen in der Chemie, and in 1784 it was renamed again to Chemische Annalen fiir die Freunde der Naturlehre, Arzneygelahrtheit, Haushaltungskunst und Manufakturen. For a more detailed analysis of Crell s journal see Hufbauer, German Chemical Community, 62-95.

Soon after, the first journals that dealt solely with chemistry appeared. The Chemisches Journal, in 1778, by Lorenz von Crell was founded to encourage German chemistry, followed by the Annales de Chimie, in 1789 in France. The Annales de Chimie is the first journal to promote a program, since it only published chemistry in the then-new nomenclature. As late as 1800 Joseph Priestley published his Doctrine of Phlogiston Established in the United States, but from 1789 on, there was no longer any reference to phlogiston in the Annales de Chimie. Only things cast in Lavoisier s new theoretical scheme and nomenclature appeared there. 

Lorenz Florenz Friedrich von Crell (Helmstadt, 21 January 1744-Gottin-gen, 7 June 1816), a pupil of Black (with whom he regularly corresponded), was the first professor of chemistry and mineralogy in Brunswick (1771-3), then professor of philosophy and medicine in the university of Helmstadt (1773 to its dissolution in 1810), and finally professor of chemistry in Gottingen, F.R.S. 1788. He was most active in a literary capacity, editing several periodicals ...
