Excerpt from Chemistry, Its Evolution and Achievements Works of this description, - Science Sketches would seem an appropriate designation for them, - should prove wel come to all who take a general interest in science. They should be of value to students entering upon some special field of study, presenting them with a general survey of their chosen ground, and per chance might be acceptable even to workers in various branches of science, affording them a ready acquaintance with the trend of thought in domains of learn ing other than their own. Some knowledge of the various phases through which a science has passed is,moreover, of value in teaching one to place a more just - perhaps it were better to say, a more modest - estimate on the theories of the day. For, while it is indisputable that a truth once discovered is never lost, although the form in which it is embodied may be altered, yet it is also beyond question that doctrines and dicta pass away, even as the men who formulate and pronounce them.

Notes on Electrochemistry (Classic Reprint)
(Excerpt from Notes on Electrochemistry The principal aim...)
Excerpt from Notes on Electrochemistry The principal aim kept in view in the preparation of these notes has been the giving of a clear and concise presentation of the general principles which underlie electrochemical science. Endeavor has been made to meet the needs of students entering upon the study of electrochemistry and of chemists interested in the application of electrical energy to chemical problems. The literature of elect'rochemistry counts as its own a number of standard works which treat in detail the theories of the science, the methods of electrochemical analysis, and the applications of electrochemistry. Differing from these, the present notes aim merely to offer a general survey of the subject, to serve as an introduction to its study and to aid in the securing of a proper understanding and appreciation of the work along individual lines.

Gerhard Ferdinand Wiechmann
Edit ProfileEducation
After attending the Brooklyn schools, he studied chemistry under C. F. Chandler at the Columbia School of Mines, from which he received the degree of Ph. B. (1881) and Ph. D. (1882). The following year he spent in the study of chemistry at the University of Berlin.
Career
Upon his return to America he accepted a position as private assistant to Dr. Chandler and instructor in chemistry in the Columbia School of Mines (1884 - 97). From 1883 to 1885 he acted as chemist for the Brooklyn Sugar Refining Company and then for six months with the Havemeyer Refining Company of Green Point. During the years from 1887 to 1909, as chief chemist for the Havemeyer and Elder Sugar Refining Company of Brooklyn, N. Y. (later the American Sugar Refining Company), he devoted much attention to improving methods of sampling, analyzing, and making sugar. He resigned his position with the American Sugar Refining Company in 1909 in order to devote himself to private consulting practice. At this time he took out a series of patents for a vegetable albumin plastic called "protal. " In 1911 he was expert and consultant for the Gramercy Refinery of the Colonial Sugars Company in Louisiana. He became interested in the dehydration of sugarbeet cossettes about 1915 and published numerous articles upon the economic advantages of the use of dehydrated cossettes in beet sugar manufacture. From 1918 until his death in 1919 he was chief chemist of the Warner Sugar Refining Company at Edgewater, N. J.
Achievements
-
He was among the first in America to propose the use of kieselguhr as a filter aid in the clarification of sugar solutions. His well-known Sugar Analysis (1890) for several decades was the leading treatise upon the subject. In addition to his Sugar Analysis, Wiechmann published Lecture Notes on Theoretical Chemistry (1893), Chemistry - Its Evolution and Achievements (1899), and Notes on Electrochemistry (1906). Under the pen name of Forest Monroe he published a novel, Maid of Montauk (1902). He was also a contributor of many articles to chemical and technological journals. He rendered distinguished services for many years as secretary of the International Commission on Uniform Methods of Sugar Analysis at its Vienna, Paris, Berlin, and New York meetings. An accomplished linguist, he officiated as interpreter at international congresses of chemistry, where his kindly, courteous manner won him a host of friends.
