‎---- EDITION ORIGINALE ---- Ouvrage monumental bien complet de tous ses suppléments ---- "In 1844, Wurtz moved to Paris, where he soon joined Dumas at the laboratory associated with the faculty of medicine. From the faculty of medicine, Wurtz transfered to a chair of organic chemistry which had been specially created for him at the Sorbonne in 1874... He became one of the most enthusiastic and outstanding teachers of his generation. There never was a school of chemists in France to compare with Liebig's school at Giessen, but Wurtz probably came closest to realizing one... Wurtz excelled as a practical chemist, and almost all his contributions were of lasting value". (DSB XIV pp. 529/532) ---- Partington IV pp. 477/494 - Bulloch : "History of bacteriology" p. 405‎
