BELL, JACOB (1810-1859)

This article appears in Volume V03, Page 686 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: BEC-BER
BELL, JACOB (1810-1859) , British pharmaceutical chemist, was born in London on the 5th of
March
  181o. On the completion of his education, he joined his father in business as a chemist in
Oxford
 
Street
 , and at the same time attended the
chemistry
  lectures at the Royal Institution, and those on
medicine
  at King's College. Always keenly alive to the interests of chemists in general, Bell conceived the idea of a society which should at once protect the interests of the trade, and improve its status, and at a public
meeting
  held on the 15th of April 1841, it was resolved to found the Pharmaceutical Society of
Great
  Britain. Bell carried his
scheme
  through in the face of many difficulties, and further advanced the cause of pharmacy by establishing the Pharmaceutical Journal, and superintending its publication for eighteen years. The Pharmaceutical Society was incorporated by royal charter in 1843. One of the first abuses to engage the attention of the new
body
  was the practice of pharmacy by unqualified persons, and in 1845 Bell drew up the draft of a bill to deal with the matter, one of the provisions of which was the recognition of the Pharmaceutical Society as the governing
body
  in all questions connected with pharmacy. For some time after this the question of pharmaceutical legislation was widely discussed. In 185o Bell successfully contested the borough of St Albans in order that he might be able to advocate his proposals for reform more effectually in
parliament
 . In 1851 he brought forward a bill embodying these proposals. It passed its second reading, but was considerably whittled down in committee, and when eventually it became law it only partially represented its sponsor's intentions. Bell was the author of an Historical Sketch of the Progress of Pharmacy in
Great
  Britain. He died on the 12th of June 1859.
