1. Departure from London before Faraday Lecture

    · London, England, United Kingdom

    Mendeleev was in London immediately before departing early on the day his Faraday Lecture was to be read to the Chemical Society; he left because of his child's severe illness. The contemporaneous notice identifies Tuesday as 4 June 1889; coordinate represents the Royal Institution area, though the quote documents London rather than a precise building.
