G., &C., &C., &C., The President: Read at the Anniversary Meeting of the Royal Society, on Thursday, November 30, 1837 Dr. Edward Turner was a native of Jamaica, and studied medi cine at Edinburgh, and chemistry at Giittingen under the instruo tions of the celebrated analytic chemist Stromeyer. He became a lecturer on chemistry at Edinburgh in 1824, and his first publica tion was a short introduction to the study of the laws of chemical combination and the atomic theory. He obtained the Professorship of Chemistry in the London University at its first establishment in 1828, a situation which he continued to hold to the end of his life. His Elements of Chemistry have enjoyed an uncommon degree of popularity, and are remarkable for clearness and precision both in the description of his experiments and in the deduction of his theory. He was the author of two papers in our Transactions; the first On the Composition of the Chloride of Barium, and the second containing Researches on Atomic Weights, both written with a view of impugning the theory which had been promulgated by some English chemists of high authority, that all atomic weights are simple multiples of that of hydrogen.
