Two Early Visions Oxidation Without Oxygen and Women as Strong Scientists

The Chemical Society of Philadelphia disbanded between 1805 and 1810 and was succeeded in 1811 by the Columbian Chemical Society, also formed in Philadelphia (see notes 2 and 3 above). 

Penington, Chemical and Economical Essays, JosephJames, Philadelphia, 1790. 

Williams and W.D. Myles, Bulletin of History of Chemistry, Vol. 8, p. 18, 1990. Earlier American chemistry publications, by Rush and the blind lecturer Henry Moyes, were small specialized pamphlets, not books. I am grateful for correspondence concerning Penington and his book with Professor William D. Williams, Harding University, Searcy, Arkansas. Harding University houses the combined Americana chemical book collections of Dr. Williams and historian Dr. Wyndham D. Myles and has been officially designated an historic chemical site.
