化学俱乐部（1806 - 1828）是伦敦的一个小型科学餐饮俱乐部。其成员包括汉弗莱·戴维爵士、威廉·海德·沃拉斯顿和亚历山大·马塞特。其他有成就的科学人士，包括约翰·道尔顿、Jöns雅各布·贝采里乌斯和奥古斯丁·皮拉穆斯·德·坎多尔也作为嘉宾参加了会议。本文借鉴了莱昂内尔·菲利克斯·吉尔伯特未发表的论文，以及一系列同时代的印刷品和手稿，呈现了化学俱乐部的第一个实质性历史，并将其置于该时期的科学和社会网络的背景下。它旨在通过追溯该俱乐部对19世纪第一季度一些最具开创性和变革性的科学工作的影响或联系，丰富我们对19世纪早期英国科学文化的理解，例如三氯化氮的发现，矿工安全灯的发明，以及汉斯·克里斯蒂安Ørsted在电磁学方面的工作。
The Chemical Club (fl.1806–1828) was a small scientific dining club in London. Among its members were Sir Humphry Davy, William Hyde Wollaston, and Alexander Marcet. Other accomplished men of science, including John Dalton, Jöns Jacob Berzelius, and Augustin Pyramus de Candolle, also attended its meetings as guests. This article, drawing on the unpublished papers of Lionel Felix Gilbert, as well as a range of contemporary sources in print and manuscript, presents the first substantial history of the Chemical Club, and situates it in the context of the scientific and social networks of the period. It aims to enrich our understanding of the scientific culture of the early nineteenth century in Britain by tracing the Club’s influence on, or connection to, some of the most pioneering and transformative scientific work of the first quarter of the 1800s, such as the discovery of nitrogen trichloride, the invention of the miners’ safety lamp, and Hans Christian Ørsted’s work on electromagnetism.
