Life

Nicolaas Cornelis de Fremery was the son of Petrus Isaac de Fremery and his wife Anna Catharina van Thiel. He grew up in 's-Hertogenbosch . Through his father, who made him familiar with geometry, he had received a stimulating education, which had a lasting effect on his later development. Fremery studied medicine and natural philosophy at the University of Leiden from September 12, 1785 . Here he attended the lectures of Dionysius van de Wijnpersse , Eduard Sandifort (1742–1814), Nicolaas George Oosterdijk (1740–1817), Nicolaas Paradijs (1740–1812), Floris Jacobus Voltelen (1755–1795) and later those of Sebald Justinus Brugmans . On March 20, 1790 he received his doctorate under Christian Hendrik Damen (1754-1793) with the treatise de Fulmine to the doctor of philosophy and three years later on September 21, 1793 he acquired under Paradijs with the medical treatise on the deformation of the pelvis, de mutationibus figurae pelvis, praesertim iis, quae ex ossium emollitione oriuntur the medical doctorate.

He then worked as a medical practitioner in Haarlem . Here he continued to study chemistry, mineralogy and zoology and worked with Martinus van Marum in the laboratory of the Teylers Foundation . After Stephan Jan van Geuns (1767–1795) died, the curators of the University of Utrecht appointed him professor of medicine, chemistry, pharmacy and natural history on September 24, 1795, which he held on December 18, 1795 with the treatise De arctissimo quo chemia cum physicis scientiis conjugitur, vinculo took over. Since teaching at the Utrecht University was discontinued in 1815, he experienced a short period of vacancy in his professorship from October 16 to November 6. Fremery became a member of the Academy of Sciences in Haarlem, in 1817 a member of the Royal Dutch Academy of Sciences (KNAW) and many other domestic and foreign learned societies.

He also took part in the organizational tasks of the Utrecht University and was rector of the Alma Mater in 1800/01 and 1821/22 . He resigned the rectorate with the speeches de Studio historiae naturalis, egregio ad formandum bonum civem adminiculo (1801) and de Chemia et arte pharmaceutica ad majorem perfectionem in Belgio evehendis (1822). He was also of Louis Bonaparte appointed royal Hofmediziner and was designed by William I. Knight of the Order of the Dutch Lion appointed. During his time as a professor, Fremery had devoted himself primarily to practical training and was employed as an advisory member on many state commissions. Nevertheless, he also found time to complete his research. He published many of these results in various specialist journals of his time, most of which deal with chemical and zoological topics. In addition, his independent works " Iets over den involoed van de nieuwere Scheikundige theory ook op de beoefening der geneeskunde, en eene daarop founded geneeswyze van den diabetes mellitus ", " Waarneming van eene zeer aanmerkelyke ontaarding van het regter ovarium " (1823), " De Bataafsche apotheek ”(1823) and“ Bijdrage tot de kennis der fossil zoogdieren in Noord-Nederland gevonden ”(1840). After a long time as a Utrecht professor, he retired in 1840.

On December 8, 1795, Fremery married Henriette Hester Willemse († June 29, 1825) in Haarlem, the daughter of the practicing doctor in Haarlem Johandes Willemse and his wife Catharina van der Laan. The son Petrus Johannes Izaak de Fremery (1797–1855), who also held a chair in chemistry in Utrecht, comes from the marriage .
