But to return to the development of Chemical engineering. .. it is a mystery as to why it was not embraced and fostered in Europe. Certainly the concept was enunciated Davis in England tried not only to found a society, but he perhaps made the earliest analysis of chemical engineering on record. He did this first in a series of lectures on chemical engineering in 1887 at the Manchester Technical School and then in his Handbook of Chemical Engineering published in 1901-1902, and it must have sold well because a second edition was published in 1904.

The second (1904) edition of Davis handbook was not only illustrated but also largely extended by Norman Swindin to whom we are indebted for most of our information about Davis other than the bare fects of his life (3), Davis said in the preface to his book, If a student s credentials included the fact that he knew by heart the whole of the handbook of chemical engineering and possessed the ability to apply it, he would not have much difficulty in finding a post. If this was Davis ideal chemical engineer, Norman Swindin must have come close to it.

In 1880 he proposed, without success, the creation of a Society of Chemical Engineers. In 1888 he delivered and published a series of 12 lectures on chemical engineering. In 1901 he published A Handbook of Chemical Engineering. All of these events were noted in the United States.
