England, and received his D.Sc. from the University of Manchester with William Henry Perkin, Jr. After various academic appointments, he moved in 1930 to Oxford University, where he remained until his retirement in 1955. An accomplished mountain climber, Robinson was instrumental in developing the mechanistic descriptions of reactions that we use today. He received the 1947 Nobel Prize in chemistry. 

A gas when brought in contact with a liquid dissolves to a greater or less extent according to the particular chemical natures of the two substances, and the solution so formed comes into equilibrium with the excess of gas standing above it. This equilibrium is characterised by a very simple law, discovered by the Manchester chemist William Henry (1803), and called after him ...

Armstrong s pupils included Ida Smedley (later Maclean), William J. Pope, Lapworth, Lowry, and F. P. Worley (later professor of chemistry at Auckland University in New Zealand). Smedley and Lapworth each were to teach at Manchester, where one of Lapworth s students was Robinson, the later 1947 Nobel Prize winner. Lowry became the first professor of physical chemistry at Cambridge University (1920), where Pope was Jacksonian Professor of Chemistry after teaching at the Manchester Municipal School of Technology in the early 1900s.

Good nontechnical, nonfiction writing can provide a model for exposition. Well-written history and biography (e.g., works by H. W. Brand, Martin Gilbert, Paul Johnson, and William Manchester) are useful for learning to handle time and sequence. Well-written popular science books and novels (e.g., by such authors as Isaac Asimov, Michael Crichton, Steven Levy, and James Gleick) are useful in learning that the presentation of factual information need not be dull. 

The nc value for palladium-hydrogen is 0.25 from magnetic susceptibility measurements (52) with Tc = 564°K (52), and from P-C-T data, de Ribaupierre and Manchester (26) estimate nc = 0.29 and Tc = 566°K. The Bragg-Williams approximation gives a reasonable WfiH value by using an average value of nc, the critical temperature, and an analytical expression for ie(n) determined...

Fig. 2.15 Gerold Schwarzenbach (1904-1978) did his Ph.D. in 1928 at the ETH Zurich with Professor William D. Treadwell in analytical chemistry and, after a year with Sir Robert Robinson at Manchester and London, became Oberassistent at the Chemische Institut of the University of Zurich. In the 1930s he started his work on the coordination capabilities of a new class of polydentate ligands (Komplexone) which soon received world-wide recognition. In 1942, he was promoted as Associate Professor and in 1947 as Professor of Analytical Chemistry at the University of Zurich but returned in 1955 to the ETH, where he was the Director of the Laboratory of Inorganic Chemistry until his retirement in 1973 (photo from Helv.

Following after Williams, Emily Comber Fortey,114 daughter of Henry Fortey, Inspector of Schools (India), was a student at Bristol from 1892, receiving a B.Sc. (London) in 1896. She was awarded a prestigious Science Research Scholarship of the Royal Commission for the Exhibition of 1851, which she used for research at Owens College, Manchester, over the period 1896-1898. Her research, together with that of the Russian chemist Vladimir Markovnikov, showed that the cyclohexane fractions from American, Galician, and Caucasian crude oil deposits were identical. 

One of Orton s students was Alice Emily Smith. Smith was born on 18 June 1871, daughter of Thomas Smith, Commission Agent of Warrenpoint, County Down, Northern Ireland and she was educated at Crescent House School, Bedford.109 She entered University College of North Wales, Bangor, in 1897 and completed a B.Sc. (London) in chemistry in 1901. Smith was awarded an 1851 Scholarship, which she chose to use from 1901 to 1903 at Owens College, Manchester, where she worked with William Perkin, Jr.,110 her research resulting in four substantial papers. 

In the later nineteenth century a number of other sculptors were commissioned to produce statues of Watt. Some of these were effectively imitations of Chantrey s statue. Even those not directly imitative often depicted the dividers and scroll, thus perpetuating the head and hand image of the philosopher-engineer. This is the form, for example, of the statue by William Theed erected in 1857 in Manchester, and also of that by Henry Charles Fehr in City Square, Leeds.14...

Sharpe, An Account of Some Experiments to Ascertain whether the Force of Steam be in Proportion to the Generating Heat) Memoirs of the Literary and Philosophical Society of Manchester, Second Series, 2 (1813), pp. 1-14. Sharpe (ca 1768-1834) was a member of the law firm Sharpe, Eccles and Cririe of Manchester. He died in Richmond, Surrey on 28 May 1834. He was elected FRS on 13 April 1826 with John Dalton and William Henry as the lead signatories of his certificate. He was also FSA.

See D. S. L. Cardwell, James Joule. A Biography (Manchester Manchester University Press, 1989), p. 183. How widely the Address was circulated, and therefore the extent to which its elisions influenced others is difficult to gauge. It does seem that Joule at least circulated it among others of his thermodynamic circle. See, for example, Joule to William Thomson, March 1 [18]65, Kelvin Papers, Special Collections, University of Glasgow Library, J177. 

Harold attended the Central Board School in Manchester and, at the age of seventeen, was awarded a Manchester Corporation Scholarship. In 1894, he entered Owens College of the federal Victoria University, Manchester, and, three years later, graduated with a B. Sc. with First Class Honours in Chemistry. He was awarded the Levinstein Exhibition fellowship, proceeded to conduct his first researches in organic chemistry under Professor William H, Perkin, Jnr., and received his M. Sc. degree from the Victoria University in 1900, the year of his first publication.
