Synopsis

Liebig's Question To Mulder Tested By Morality And Science by G. T. Mulder is a 1846 polemic in which Mulder defends his protein theory against Liebig's critique and argues for the ethical obligations of scientists. The pamphlet traces Mulder's investigations into fibrin, albumen, casein, and vegetable proteins, detailing how different analyses — including contributions by Scheerer, Dumas, Cahours, and Laskowski — have influenced the understanding of protein's composition and its relation to plant and animal nutrition. Mulder rejects personal attacks masquerading as science, insisting that truth and morality must guide inquiry and that scientists should correct errors rather than weaponize controversy. The text discusses the possible existence of protein oxides, hydrates, and bi-oxides, the role of sulfur, and the methods by which protein can be prepared free from sulphur, while acknowledging uncertainties and the infancy of the subject. It closes with calls to reform mistaken conclusions and a reminder of the ethical duties of researchers.
