Abstract Note

A brief analysis of the evolution of chemical theory in nineteenth-century Europe provides instantiation for the continuing vitality of an intellectual-historical approach to the history of modern science. The story told here also illustrates the pragmatic and pluralistic attitudes displayed by many of the most successful chemists of that period and offers possible parallel lessons for historians.
