James Woodhouse of Philadelphia presented a Young Chemist's Pocket Companion (1797) with an accompanying portable laboratory, specifically targeted ladies and gentlemen. Scientific kits also attracted well-educated members of the upper class who enjoyed experimenting and demonstrating their results. Primarily used for training druggists and medical students, they could also be carried and used in the field. Friedrich Accum of London, England also sold portable chemistry sets and materials to refill them. In 1791, Description of a portable chest of chemistryВ : or, Complete collection of chemical tests for the use of chemists, physicians, mineralogists, metallurgists, scientific artists, manufacturers, farmers, and the cultivators of natural philosophy by Johann Friedrich August GГ¶ttling, translated from German, was published in English. The earliest chemistry sets were developed in the 18th century in England and Germany to teach chemistry to adults.

The forerunners of the chemistry set were 17th century books on 'natural magick', 'which all excellent wise men do admit and embrace, and worship with great applause neither is there any thing more highly esteemed, or better thought of, by men of learning.' Authors such as Giambattista della Porta included chemical magic tricks and scientific puzzles along with more serious topics. GriffinвЂ™s Chemical Laboratory, Glasgow, ca.1850.
