The first edition of this mammoth chemical encyclopedia appeared from 1863 to 1868 but a new edition became necessary within just a few years due to the rapid and considerable changes occurring in scientific knowledge. The 19th century was an age of revolution in the manner of viewing and describing chemical reactions. Particular attention in these volumes is given to both qualitative and quantitative analytical processes. Though editor Henry Watts (1815-1884) was a well-known scientist in his own right, the list of contributors to the volumes reads like a who's who of 19th century chemists. William Dittmar (1859 - 1951) was a German who made his career in Britain; he was responsible for discovering the average salinity of seawater in 1884 while analyzing 77 samples from around the world. Another German, August Wilhelm von Hofmann (1818 1892), invented the Hofmann voltameter for electrolyzing water. Sir Michael Foster (1836 - 1907) was a physiologist who taught at Cambridge. Frederick Guthrie (1833 - 1886) was a British scientific writer and professor who helped found the Physical Society of London (now the Institute of Physics) in 1874; he was well known for his view that science should be based on experimentation, not discussion. William Odling (1829 - 1921) was an Englishman who contributed to the development of the periodic table. Sir Henry Enfield Roscoe (1833 - 1915) was particularly noted for early work on photochemical studies. Two of these scientists wouldn't have got along. Sir Edward Frankland (1825 1899) was considered one of the foremost chemists of his day. An expert in water quality and analysis, he originated the concept of combining power, or valence, in chemistry. James Alfred Wanklyn (1834 1906), however, is remembered today for his "ammonia method" of determining water quality and for his fierce arguments with chemists such as Frankland, who opposed his testing practices.

Covering the years 1738-1740, this set of reports was, to quote Wallace, "very much esteemed by the profession in general." Marvin notes that "Andrews has usually given a fuller and more satisfactory report of these cases than is found in reports of the same period." The first edition was published in London in 1754 and the final edition in London in 1792. Stoughton [1766-1804] was an attorney and churchwarden of Wymondham Abbey in Norfolk. The Latin motto of his armorial bookplate, "In Cruce Confido" (In the Cross I Trust), is in keeping with his close involvement with the Wymondham Abbey, of which he was Churchwarden.
