When the professor of chemistry, Jacobus Lemort, died in 1718, the university asked Boerhaave to take Lemort's professorship. It was logical for Boerhaave to do so because he had been giving private lectures on chemistry for many years. Boerhaave responded by giving this oration on the state of progress in chemistry.
