The English analytical chemist John Alexander Reina Newlands, b.
In his so-called Law of Octaves, formulated in 1864-65 but not well received at that time, Newlands arranged the 62 known elements in order of increasing atomic weights and noted that, after each interval of eight elements, similar physical and chemical properties reappeared, thus enabling him to divide the elements into families and periods.
Newlands was chief chemist of a sugar refinery from 1868 to 1886.

 An Unsystematic Foreshadowing: J. A. R. Newlands
John Alexander Reina Newlands (1837-1898; see photo at the Edgar Fahs Smith collection, University of Pennsylvania) was born in Southwark, England.
Newlands was so taken with the fact that the chemical properties seemed to repeat with the eighth element that he subsequently dubbed this observation the "law of octaves." Several writers since Newlands' day have commented that this imaginative analogy may have prevented his more prosaic contemporaries from taking his work as seriously as it deserved.
Newlands' paper on this subject in 1866 had not been published by the Society was that they had made it a rule not to publish papers of a purely theoretical nature, since they were likely to lead to correspondence of a controversial character.

After Dobereiner’s ideas were ruled out, an English chemist John Alexander Reina Newlands in 1864 noted that every eighth element showed similar physical and chemical properties, when the elements are placed in the increasing order of their atomic masses.
Similarly, the eighth element after Na is K. So from the Newlands' law of octaves, we should expect the elements Li, Na and K to have similar chemical properties.
According to Newlands’ law, the elements Be, Mg and Ca should display similar chemical and physical properties.

 Periodic table - Wikipedia
The first to recognize these regularities was the German Johann Wolfgang Doeberreiner who noticed a number of triads of similar elements.
This was followed by the Englishman John Alexander Reina Newlands, who noticed that the elements of similar type recurred at intervals of eight, which he likened to the octaves of music, though his law of octaves was ridiculed by his contemporaries.
Strictly speaking, we are referring here only to the chemical table as a "periodic table", but it is just one type of periodic table, more specifically, it is a periodic table of the elements.

 The Periodic Table
In 1864, the English chemist John Alexander Reina Newlands (1837-1898) arranged the known elements in order of increasing atomic weights, and noted that this arrangement also placed the properties of the elements into at least a partial order.
Newlands called this the law of octaves (there are seven notes to an octave in music, the eighth note being almost a duplicate of the first note and beginning a new octave.) Unfortunately, while some of the rows in his table did contain similar elements, other rows contained widely dissimilar elements.
Knowledge concerning them began with the work of the English physicist John William Strutt, Lord Rayleigh (1842-1919), who, in the 1880's, was working out with great care the atomic weights of oxygen, hydrogen, and nitrogen.

The differences between the numbers of the other members of a group are frequently twice as great; thus in the nitrogen group, between N and P there are seven elements; between P and As, 13; between As and Sb, 14, and between Sb and Bi, 14.
Thus Newlands presented a table he claimed organized and numbered the elements primarily by equivalents (valence) despite printed separation lines that seem to suggest primary organization by atomic weight.
