Some organic compounds like alcohol and tartaric acid were available as pure compounds but they were exceptions in an otherwise chaotic world. How to create some order in this chaos? In the Introduction to his monograph, Chevreul argues strongly in favour of a painstaking and systematic approach to experimentation. His own work is a prime example of this approach and this could well be the reason why his monograph was still reasonably up to date when it was reprinted on the occasion of

Many names already contain hyphens, but in some cases, using these hyphens as end-of-line divisions can lead to illogical divisions in print, as can also happen when hyphens are added arbitrarily without considering the ‘chemical’ context. The present document provides guidelines for authors of chemical manuscripts, their publishers and editors, on where to divide chemical names at the end of a line, and instructions on how to avoid these names being divided at illogical places. Readability and chemical sense should prevail when authors insert hyphens. The software used to convert electronic manuscripts to print can now be programmed to avoid illogical end-of-line hyphenation and thereby save the author much time and annoyance when proofreading. The Recommendations also allow readers of the printed article to determine which end-of-line hyphens are an integral p...
