Received Date: 16 October 2019

The periodic system of elements had been individually discovered by German chemist Julius Lothar Meyer and Russian chemist Dmitri Ivanovich Mendeleev during almost the same period of time, who both received the Davy Medal of the Royal Society. However, the contribution of Meyer on the periodic system of elements has not attracted enough attention. On the occasion of the International Year of the Periodic Table of the Elements, the author writes this article to describe Meyer's lifetime and his contribution to chemistry. The present article is dedicated to Meyer, a great pioneer in the history of chemistry.
