“I notice that, in the lecture … which Prof. Lowry gave recently, in Paris … he brought forward certain freak formulae for tartaric acid, in which hydrogen figures as bigamist … I may say, he but follows the loose example set by certain Uesanians, especially one G. N. Lewis, a Californian thermodynamiter, who has chosen to disregard the fundamental canons of chemistry—for no obvious reason other than that of indulging in premature speculation upon electrons as the cause of valency…” ScienceScientistParisChemistryHydrogenElectronsLectureLewisLowryG N Lewis G N LewisGilbert Newton LewisProf Lowry Author:Henry Edward Armstrong
