As you can see, most of them are in german, which I found somewhat strange, because he apparently lived in the UK during that time. Nevertheless someone might add one or two of these papers to the article.
- As far as i know, german was up to the first world war the international used language for chemistry, as english is it today for most parts of science. --128.246.31.6 (talk) 09:55, 12 February 2008 (UTC)
