![Miss Jane Barnard in addition to placing these letters at my disposal has, at my request, most generoush' made a gift of them to the Library of the University of Bale, under the condition that access may l)e had to them at any future time. In consetjuence of this genuine act of kindness the complete series of these valuable and important documents are now to l)e preserv^ed at Schoenbein's scene of activity, for Schfrnbein's daughters have also renounced their claim in favour of the University Librarv'. The artistic supplement added to the book, is the work of the young and promising artist 1'. Kraus of Bale, who drew it from the photograph, kindly lent me b}' Miss Barnard, taken in 1857 by Maull and Pol} l)ank. It is the one serving as fron- tispiece to Dr. Bence Jones' Life of Faraday and we must not omit to express our obligation to Messrs. Longmanns, Green & Co. for kindly offering to consent to its re])roduction here. The portrait of Schocnbein is drawn after a statuette from the year 1855 by the late Mr. Breikle of Munich, and some contemporar}' photogra])hs. The numVjcr of misprints is unfortunately very large, but it must be borne in mind that the printers were dealing with a foreign language. Together with these letters I am, jointlx' with Dr. K. Thon, bringing out the correspondence of Schoenbcin with Liebig; it will be published in Leipsic and is to form the fifth part of the Monographs from the Mistorv' of Chemistry. Bale, September 15th, 1899. GeORG VV. a. KyMILBAUM.](https://iiif.wellcomecollection.org/image/b2192899x_0017.jp2/full/800%2C/0/default.jpg)
