 6s 6d 1884 



The periodic law was discovered simultaneously, but independently of one another, by the author and Prof. Lothar 

 Meyer (q. v. ant'), and received its classic development by Prof. Mend'elejeff, who by its means predicted the existence of 

 certain elements then unknown, which were afterwards actually discovered. 



' I claim to have been the first to publish a list of the elements in the order of their atomic weight, and also the first to 

 describe the periodic law, showing the existence of a simple relation between them when so arranged.' Preface.
