    My lady translates:
    "Born 12 May 1803 in Darmstadt
    "Died 18 April 1873 in Munich
    "Groundbreaking Chemist of the 19th Century. Contemporary and friend of the Darmstadt pharmacist Heinrich Emanuel Merck, the founder of the chemical factory E. Merck, Darmstadt."

    Ah yes, Useless Liebig :) I had to translate articles from Annalen der Chemie when I was an undergraduate...

    Well, you could say that...but judging from the perspective of Kentucky, above, I'd say perhaps too condensed! Must be a lot more meat to the Life of Liebig, Eh?
